Had the poster in question accidentally posted a 1 not knowing how the rating system works that would be one issue (it's happened before) but a 3?

I've seen that excuse and I don't buy it. The rating system is from poor to excellent. How confusing can that possibly be?

I rarely rate or comment on pics but when one does strike me as being particularly creative, amusing or scorching hot I'll give it the highest score.

Actually, the situation has come up before, and mb knows of it. It was an incident in which a member, normally a fairly level-headed sort, was posting "1"s in all my gallery photos. It suspected that he was trying to get some sort of payback for some post of mine elsewhere on the board with which he took issue, and I posted about it in the Support forum. I was wondering whether that was an appropriate use of the rating system. If I'd thought it was genuine I wouldn't have mentioned it; if a viewer wants to rate a photo with a "1", I have no real grounds for complant, if he's actually rating the photo, rather than something else.

The offender later claimed that it was a technical screwup involving confusions between 1 and 10 (is it 1=good, or 10=good?). Perhaps I was in an atypically generous mood, but I accepted that explanation, and it may well have been genuine, as we've had no friction since.

So, it happens. Maybe.

Well, not if you only leave 10s on photos that you really feel warrant them.

I rarely go into the gallery anymore, but on the rare occasion that I leave a rating and comment at all, I only rate the ones I really like. I see no reason to insult someone who is just not my taste.

I used to leave negatives on photos that had taglines like "Here's my 15'' cock, is it big enough?" but I ignore even those anymore. What I really hate is people who beg for comments- if I WANT to leave one, I will. If I have not, I either haven't seen the pics or didn't feel moved to comment.
Well stated--







and now back to my usual fighting mode.
