After looking back at the comments in the last thread that was locked, I get the feeling a number of members thought I wanted to remove a low-scoring shot for purposes of bumping my average (though I know most were just pokin' fun).

I do want to go on record that I really could care about the numbers here anymore, and that after dicovering my oops on it, didn't want to push it under the carpet and in fact have a proposal for a shot that is diqualified for ANY reason.

Simply put, leave the shot in the challenge, but move it to the end of the pile, with the scores wiped and a zero given to the members' averages. I'll take the first zero and lower my average - means nada to me.

Here is a sample of what a disqualified shot could look like in the bottom of the pile:



It could still be commented on as to why it was DQ'd, could serve as a learning tool for the what not to do's in editing, etc..

Any thoughts on this idea?

We already decided to list all DQ'd photos at the end of the challenges, but the coding hasn't been implimented yet.

BradP I can understand that you found an illegal image [mistake] and wanted to bring it up to the SC about DQ. I think it would of been better to have email a SC member but hindsight is 20/20. BTW I don't think you are trying to raise you average, what would it do raise it by 0.001. LOL

BTW- I like the way you proposed a DQ'ed pic to show up at the end of a challenge.

Would the DQ'd shots have an explanation to why they were DQ'd? Also, will this have an effect on the users average?

Average should be replaced by either:
a) Best 10 photographs average
or
b) Most recent 10 photographs average

or something like that..

Yes. No, not under this plan, as I understand it.
