Re: A new trend?

Yes, good lass: we could have a very small, elite gallery for people who were concerned primarily about photographic aspects of the pictures. The rest of us can carry on using the galleries as adjuncts for identification and correspondence. Tough for the mods though ....

If it weren't for the fact that it would create additional work for the administrators and mods I would suggest a further gallery purely of highly commended images which I think would attain the standard of the elitist gallery that you have in mind. To have a picture in there would be meritorious indeed

Re: A new trend?

It's all time though- The mods and editors work hard enough and have enough to do of a night, a comp would be very time consuming.

Re: A new trend?

As far as I can see, there was nothing going against him I'd not do that Mark, there's never any hard feelings when I'm concerned, I'm a soft touch

Re: A new trend?

I did wonder if a voting system would work for photos, i.e. the pictures with the most votes could go into the new gallery but there are two main flaws to that:-

a) time consuming for mods to set up and regulate

b) people would vote for their mates

So, best things left as they are, I reckon.

I think the system is fine with the mods deciding.
