These threads blow my mind. Scalvert will sit and answer questions all day long, and instead of taking information and learning people just continue to bash and whine. Now to get this out of the way early. No Dirt_Diver I do not have a ribbon, I do not have a DQ, so therefore according to you I shouldn't even be speaking since I "can have no idea" what it feels like. However, this site is a CONTEST, and a CONTEST has rules. They are the most workable rules I have ever seen for a photo site. If you don't like the RULES OF THE CONTEST, play by them, suggest better rules, or take your ball and go home. In the end there will always be a subjective element to this site. Not only do the voters vote subjectively but the SC has to judge DQ requests subjectively. It is the way the game is played. So, please please please stop beating the horse that is so dead that it is no longer present. We all know you got DQ'ed and that you feel like you got screwed. We all know that some people agreed with you and some people didn't. Just like the SC. In the end more SC and also more site members felt like your shot deserved a DQ. Time to move on from either the DQ or the site. But constantly hijacking threads to vent your anger probably will never garner the results you desire.
The site is wonderful to learn and compete, but in the end you win a virtual ribbon from a virtual place. I wish for us all more important life achievements than a DPC blue, red, yellow, or even brown. |
I couldn't have said it better myself. |
