Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to self DQ? I tried to get my overexposed picture self DQ'd several times during voting, but I"m not sure whether I did it wrong. I sent in the requests under "help -- contact us -- general inquiry and then again under administrative inquiry" but nothing has happened. Was I supposed to do something else instead?

Thanks!

From the menu bar use HELP, Contact and open a ticket. General Inquiry will work. Tell them the Challenge, Title and image ID and ask to please remove the image. I believe whoever gets the question will send you an email making sure you want it removed and once you respond to that it will be taken out of the challenge. That is what I have done to get an image removed.

Oich, we've written back to you each time. Can you check your junk folder? Or unblock e-mails from DPC?

And you will be sent an email double checking that you want to self DQ. You then respond to the email stating that you really do want to self DQ. However, you cannot self DQ if you have had another DQ in your last 25 challenges.

Not to hijack this thread but I was wondering why someone would want to DQ themselves. Is it if they think they crossed the line? because help says the picture cannot break any rules. So is it to save from having a very low score or something else? Thanks.

You can self-DQ a photo if you don't like your score, your model changes their mind, or any other reason (or no reason) except for a rules violation -- your photo must be completely legal for the challenge or it will be a "regular" DQ.

As mentioned, you cannot self-DQ if you already have any kind of DQ in your past 25 entries.

The main difference is that self-DQs are not displayed at the end of the challenge results,

Thanks GeneralE, very clear now :) I'll keep it in mind next time I'm dropping below 3.0 ;)
