No way. There are too many jockers and softies on here. If they could see the person the photographer whose image they were voting on, it would definitely effect the results.


I don't mind the idea BUT it should happen after voting like the comentators paper bag thing...

I have no idea how hard this would be to set up maybe to hard but if possible have a AUTO Signature where you could add your name in the submit photo page, this would only be added to the photo automatically after the voting is completed and the results are calculated. This is also the time that submitted photo's go public.

Something to think about maybe.


I finally have an idea for the free study challenge. Thanks.

I routinely do a google search every couple of months to see if any copyright material has been stolen. On this occasion photographs turned up on two French websites. They had been taken from google earth by copying and pasting the links onto their web sites. I wrote to google and they said take it up with the people who are using the photos. When I e-mailed one of the web sites and they said it is perfectly legitimate and if you don’t like it take the photo down. The other web site displayed no e-mail address. Instead it had a contact webmaster button which attempted to give me a virus when pressed.
I am not sure if it is legitimate or not. If they had asked I would probably given permission. What I decided to do is change the titles of the photographs (six) to read THIS PHOTO IS STOLEN AND IS BEING USED WITHOUT THE OWNERS CONSENT. That is a polite printable version. Within twenty four hour s an e-mail arrived containing an apology and a whining explanation of how it was an information website rather than a commercial website. This website consisted solely of photographs lifted from google earth. Is that legitimate? Anyway I gave permission and changed the titles to include a link to my website. What else can you do?
