Well...silly me...I was so correct as to ask the SC if my photo would fit within the rules and law. They couldn't garrantee me that it wouldn't get DQ-ed.

I decided to stay well away from this one too. There is a huge difference of perception between different parts of the worlds and since most of this originated in Asia, the western knowledge is limited merely to 3-4 forms. Seeing the entries illustrates this point very well

Well if it's any consolation mine is probably one of those 3-4 forms and about every other vote slams it. Luckly so far the ones that are not doing that have been scoring it highly.

I might as well say what my photo was (I put a lot of work into it) I made a photo of a table all set up for a nice cup of tea. biscuits, fancy teacup, silver milkjar etc. and made a tealabel with a marihuana leaf on it. took the photo whilst dropping a cube of sugar in it for a nice splash. and yes, there was a tiny bit of weed on the side of the cup.
I wrote to the SC because when I flipped through the thumbs I saw several photo's with weed in it. So why the hell are those allowed, and not mine?? Yea and then they say, I have to click the violate rules button. Well I'm not gonna do that! But I do think it's very unfair.
Oh and they said:
Also, please keep in mind that the Terms of Use restrict images that "encourage"
the use of illegal drugs, not just those that "depict" them.
So I can take a photo of a marihuanaleaf, but not someone smoking / drinking it?
that's stupid...

Who said those entries were allowed? First of all, no one has flagged the entries for review. Second of all, it's less than six hours into the challenge. Even if they WERE submitted for review, the review process takes time -- 48 hours is not unusual.
In addition, let's please not discuss entries publicly while voting is in progress. If you would like to discuss this further off-board, feel free to reply to the email we sent you.
Thanks,
Terry

I know this sounds cocky, but I thought this one was really going to score higher thus far. Oh well, I like it... |

First 19 voters: 6.42
Last 6 voters: 4.2
Maybe the two groups can get together and compare notes or preferrably the 19 kick the asses of the 6.

Wow, so my score last night dropped from 5.7 to about 4.7, and judging from comments I've deeply offended some people.

I can certainly empathize. I was really excited about my photo (still am); however, the voters seem to disagree - or rather the scores I'm receiving seem to indicate they disagree. There are NO comments so far...

same here. usually I think my shots arent very good and expect a low score. this time I was sooo sure I had a top ten shot that I couldnt even sleep. I'm barely in the 6's. |

I was really expecting much higher for this. This photo is much better than my entry for furniture which is pretty boring honestly and is at 5.3866. I think the scores are attached to the wrong photo :)
I can't believe 2 of the commentators don't get it, really shocking to me that this form of alternative medicine isn't universally known and acceptable even in the medical community.

Is this a low scoring challenge? There seems to be a definite headwind.
