FAIR
1) equitable treatment
2) light complected
3) a State Fair, County Fair, Street Fair, it's difficult for ME to put into words; a gathering of people.
I hope that the word man can help me out with #3. Dang! I'm glad I am not required to explain to someone who is not familiar with the English language what "fair" means because I would totally screw them up.

Oh look at that. My wife has sent you your very own pic just from her.
It is kinda discouraging at times, but it is what it is... If you think the women's side of the contest is bad, try the male side once... I've seen pics with 100+ downvotes before.

I just looked at the contest and another certain hottie on here has a pic she put up that has been favorited almost 150 times and yet before i just voted it hot, it was a minus 2, like give me a break
I understand K315's post but in my mind, when I go to the election polls, I vote for the candidate that I want in office, not who I do not want, right? As for using the [NOT] vote against another member that has spammed you or to show displeasure toward those that beg for votes, why?
It's awesome that there are SYD and SYC members who feel confident enough to enter their pictures in a monthly contest. A lack of votes should be a good enough indication of how well your picture is being accepted, should be adequate. Why would it be necessary to offer a [NOT] option?
Or in the way that admin's system is set up, thus far, 1) burning points is no longer anonymous AND it costs points 2) voting [NOT] on a daily upload picture, is not anonymous and it costs points SO why should casting a vote [NOT] vote on a Picture of the Month be anonymous or free?
That might be exactly how this contest should be tweaked, all [HOT] votes are free, all [NOT] votes are a cost of 5 points and the owner of the picture will be notified of the [NOT] vote and member. It might be nice to see if members would still be voting [NOT] if there's no anonymity behind their vote.
Every picture I've ever submitted in potm has gotten negative votes... it's a contest, not a therapy session. My confidence in myself is not affected by something so trivial.
Burning points isn't the same as a contest... I've always looked at point burning as a bitch slap. There's definitely some douchenuggets here who deserve it... And I've burnt the points of many assholes who I felt deserved it.
And voting on or against a daily upload post is different too. That is a reflection of personal opinion regarding the picture. It cost points to show appreciation and dissatisfaction. We can't all expect everyone to be satisfied with everything we do, or post, right?
And no, I don't think negatively voting in potm should cost points. After all, it is a contest, and the lack of cost to cast a vote is one of the things that keeps it interesting. If any aspect of in it had a cost, it'd discourage anyone from voting. Why should a entrant receive nothing but free positivity on their photo? Are they not level-headed enough to handle that someone thinks another photo is better? I understand the ego is a fragile thing, but damn.
And why should we know who voted negatively on a contest submission? Isn't that kinda unfair in a way? Being able to cast a vote in a contest is great, but when we start naming people who voted one way or the other, it's just an invasion of privacy... And since we seem to like comparing apples and oranges, would it be viewed as acceptable to give the winner of an election the names of everyone who voted for their opponents?
On months I don't enter, I usually enter someone else... So far only one person has gotten sand in their vagina over it.
Odd, to the best of my recollection, my picture was entered in a month that you were entered, too.
Having an opinion means to give a view on something,you just complain that something needs to changed cuz it doesn't suit you...funny how you are so involved in a topic when you state you've never put a pic in 'potm'....so you are bitching...
Why don't you enter 'potm' send a pm to all your friends(over 400 members at least,that's a fucking joke in itself)
You can win easily then,or is that begging for votes and deemed pathetic ?
You can't win a contest without having competition,don't like downvotes don't play...same as all the other games...
And yeah,guess what, I'm bitching...
But as a result it will become even more like a political election rather than evaluation of the pics.
True story, some time ago, I suggested that a new SYD member enter his picture in the Pic of the Month. He had been doing quite well as far as comments and votes with his recent uploads so this could be his next step. He told me absolutely not. He felt vulnerable, the entire idea that members could or would vote [NOT] gutted him and for that reason, he wasn't going to to take that chance.
I'm quite aware of human psychology and insecurities, and from a business point of view I should make this site all rainbows and unicorns, removing everything unpleasant. But I simply think it's a fraud and I should not peddle such illusions, despite that most others do this (facebook for example).
Also, did not you tell me once that my attempts to make this site all rainbows and unicorns make it boring? Why sudden change of heart? It will be more boring if I remove 'NOT', I assure you. And in the same time probably more annoying. You will probably beg me to do something about people begging for votes all over the site.
But it seems that you pick and choose what you want. You want everyone to be nice in public but then you are fine and promote negative voting. It seems like you're sending mixed messages.
Well, thinking of this, I should probably just make those negative votes cost points and introduce fines for cursing...
First it's the downvote and then toward the end of the month when it looks like the downvotes weren't quite enough, then it's the begging and bribery. Yeah, those are real admirable characteristics of a good competitor securing their win.
