Sorry, but I don't feel like I am cheating by replying to a comment made during a challenge.

I don't care to get replies. It doesn't effect my vote. I don't mind getting an email after the fact or if I want more info I will ask for them to email me.
This is one reason why I don't comment that much on challenge photos.

It's not about whether you are cheating or not. It's about respecting, and supporting, and trying to enhance, the integrity of the challenges. And showing respect to the others who participate in challenges. If you choose not to take part in that no one can make you. |

Like many, I enjoy the anonymity of the challenges and think it adds a lot to the site..however, where I disagree with some is the allegation that it is compromised to a damaging degree by an occasional reply to a comment during a challenge.
I replied today to a comment received in a current challenge.
The reason I did this was to thank the person for a very considered and well balanced comment.
Why didn`t I wait until the challenge was over?
Quite simply because I would have either forgotten or due to other commitments,lost the urge to thank that person.
I neither mentioned the name of my submission nor any wording used by the commenter but merely thanked them for a well considered comment.
The only way that person could know which submission was mine was if they had only made one comment in the challenge,(unlikely scenario).
I rarely reply during challenges but when I do, I use the same criteria.
This bone of contention raises it`s head with considerable regularity (as GeneralE said). However, when you consider the number of times we have well known photographers appearing in their own pics (what greater infringement of anonymity can you get?)and yet I can`t recall any thread complaining about that..I think it is time to put things into perspective and realise very few people do these things to cheat the rest of us..and I would suggest that out of the ones that do..even fewer gain any advantage.

Do the maths.
One or two extra 10s does hardly anything to the final score.
This is a question which, as GeneralE points out, has been raised repeatedly. To this I'd like to add that in some types of photography, context is everything. Explanations and titles serve a useful purpose. Saying that photograhps must be judged on content assumes a particular type of entry and says more about the commentor than the image. |

no, I have one saying my image is unsharp, and it isn't! I have also one saying my subject the mirror is unclean and that is not true at all (I especially cleaned it, just like al of you did)...and a couple of that more (all different though) ...so, my frustration doesn't lie in the fact that people don't see the idea because the image and the title don't speak well for themselves... |
