Actually, I figured that the easiest thing to do would be ante up the cash. Member again now - I'd better get shooting to make it worthwhile!

Fair enough - I have not done much voting since my membership lapsed, I guess I must have just hit on open challenges by chance.

I guess I'll give the voting a miss and head back to the Critique Club!

It seems like there may be fewer Open challenges or a larger percentage of Members Only challenges now, but I could be wrong.

In my opinion, additional member challenge opportunities provide a good incentive to upgrade to paid member status, and that is probably good for the site.

While I am sure a few exist, I doubt many people actually want to vote for more challenges where they have not entered photos. I see voting more as a service to the community and I try to vote as often as possible for that reason, but I don't vote because I just love voting. Also, I sort of like the fact that paying to vote on member challenges has the effect of keeping troll voting to a minimum.

that fine for me, i can comment, i dont need to vote.

The site FAQs covers the differences between registered users and members, including that registered users can vote on all open challenges, but not member challenges.

I'm pretty sure registered users couldn't vote in member challenges at least since I joined in 2004.

the site rules dont say anything about needing to be a paying member to vote.

Registered members can only vote in the Open challenges. It has been that way since I joined the site in 2006.

I know I have not been around for a while but this is a pretty big change! When did this happen? I confess to being a little mystified by the logic - I see taking the time to vote as giving something back to the site, not taking from it.

Don't get me wrong - I intend to renew my membership as soon as I actually have the time to get out and snapping but I just thought that I might have 30 mins or so to throw out some thoughtful votes here. Maybe the odd comment. Guess not.
