Topic: Charts and Awards / No offense, but...

This has been discussed here on several different occasions always with the same outcomes. The agreement that the ratings are inflated but continues none the less. This is one of the reasons why I don’t recommend this website to my students.

Topic: Charts and Awards / No offense, but...

I am in total agreement on this subject.I have noticed it is all about politics and not high scores,well that is what seems to be going on.My last effort weighed in at 14 perfect scores and I never got to smell the roses.Well win some lose some…I never joined this sight to get POD and really just enjoy sharing knowledge and artwork :-)

Topic: Charts and Awards / No offense, but...

I couldn’t agree more. there has to be a better way to weigh the balance of the scores. clearly someone who gets ten perfect tens should win over someone who has 5 tens and 7 nines… the resulting scores should weigh the judgement more than the total number of votes. Clearly someone who is just starting out has almost no chance of winning with an excellent pic over someone who has developed the relationships, followers and political acumen to know who to give higher scores to or to ignore great pics just to keep someone from winning. I think Photos should be posted anonymously to avoid the political aspects interfering with the voting process. with no names to consider, all pics are weighted on their merits only, and the creator is named only after the day is completed.

Topic: Charts and Awards / No offense, but...

This voting system is by far skewed. I don’t care about my pictures winning POD or what not, but I don’t even see the point in your voting system. For instance: Yesterdays voting included a pic with an average score of 9.5 and 11 votes. This guy’s pic had at least six Perfect 10 ratings. He lost to another pic with only one Perfect 10 vote because he had a total of thirteen votes. Twelve of which were a 9 rating bringing the average for that photo to 9.1.

You seriously need to reconsider your flawed voting system to make it fair for others who want a chance to get the POD. Again… I personally do not care about winning(or not). So please don’t take this as me being a “whiny baby” or “sore loser”. I’ve just never seen a system where people score higher and lose.

Topic: Charts and Awards / No easy 10 ratings from me

I agree completely, Some members throw their Dummy out of the pram & start getting personal if you say anything negative about a photo. I say what i think as you do rtorcato. Sending messages & writing personal comments on my photo’s. If they don’t like the opinion then stop posting…….

I mean everyone is scared to rate lower than 9.

Topic: Charts and Awards / No easy 10 ratings from me

The image will have to be perfect in every way. Not just HDR processing.

I’m gonna rate it as I see it. If the image is a 7 or lower I will rate it as such. Seems to be too many 10s getting thrown at friend’s posts on this site and too many people to rate lower than a 9.

Topic: Charts and Awards / Fake account and ratings

Hello everybody,
I have received some notifications about suspect ratings with the aim to win “picture of the day” (POD).

All of us could create multiple accounts (fake accounts) to increment the rating of a picture but THIS IS NOT FAIR.

I don’t like the idea to restrict ratings just for photographers with at least 1 picture in their portfolio.
An art critic can judge a paint without being an artist. Same way I can rate a picture without being a photographer.

So I’m asking you to respect other users, to be honest and not fake your rating.

Hope I can get your comprehension.
Regards,
Carlo

Tanks.

Prova a salvare l’immagine con un programma diverso o cambia il nome del file.

Try to save the image with a different image editor or try to change the image name.

Credo comunque di essere off topic

Topic: Charts and Awards / Top rated formula

Da qualche tempo posto le mie foto sul sito e ho notato una cosa: c’è una sorta di “voto di cortesia e ricambio” nel senso che se tu voti la mia foto allora io contraccambio e voterò la tua.
Ho visto foto premiate come POD che assolutamente non meritavano, però avevano magari 15 commenti.
Basta poi guardare i wall degli utenti per rendersi conto dei ringraziamenti reciproci.
Inoltre non capisco per quale motivo molti “amici” che si votano le foto reciprocamente “non vedono” errori grossolani tipo macchie di sporco sul sensore, cieli completamente bruciati, parti sfocate, ecc ecc.
Ho commentato una foto ad un membro del sito che ha quasi sempre le POD commentando TECNICAMENTE gli errori, la risposta è stata che a lui non piacevano quel genere di commenti e che avrei dovuto evitarli.

Topic: Charts and Awards / Top rated formula

@pandarino: m è una costante che vale 100.

Topic: Charts and Awards / Top rated formula

ho letto la formula in uso per votare la foto del giorno e volevo un chiarimento cioè il valore " m " sarebbe il numero di voti totale che ogni utente assegna ad altri utenti quando valuta le foto altrui oppure ho capito male?? grazie

next version should allow you to edit your comment/vote or delete them all together, which should take care of unwanted double and triple entries that could happen whenever the connections slows down or people get impatient after their mouse click. it also would allow you to correct spelling mistakes or wrong comments
if blind voting is still allowed in the next version, it should be at least possible to see who has voted w/o leaving a comment. This would stop the misuse of this feature, when one user just gives low rates to other user because he/she cannot take criticism.
… just my thoughts

Topic: Charts and Awards / Rate

there’s a lot of lacking functionality in creme actualy mark. i can list some of my observations :

• How do you check who made a favorites in your photo.
• How do you list the summary of all comments with rates of all your photo.
• How do you list all your followed users

And maybe some of others have an observation also, Hope creme will address all this concerns to make it better.
