@Adele: Hi Adele, thank you, cannot wait for our next common session!
@alexito: thanks for feedback, there are two shots only, no cgi used, composition created using just photoshop.
@NVIDIA: Hi, the proposal for like a photo for anonymous sounds good, this is binary value. Members have much more options, I would consider this as good solution. Thank you Stephen, please keep up great work you are doing here for us, creative folks!
Hello all - yes, we recently enabled people to rate/comment on images without logging in. The reason for this is simple - very few of our members were making use of these features. HIgh quality images with extremely high numbers of views were getting very low numbers of votes or comments. The login requirements were seen as the main hurdle limited user engagement on the site. So, as an experiment, we removed this requirement. Honestly, I don't see the down vote impact of this - for example this image has 15 votes and an average rating of 4.9, which is very good. Feel free to email me at sklett@nvidia.com with specific concerns relating to this issue, with examples of where it has negatively impacted your photos if you can and we will re-assess. I can only encourage members to make use of the ratings more, and to take the time to comment more often on submitted images. Thank you. Maybe we simply enable non-members to "like" a photo, rather than rate a photo, which would require a new mechanic but would be relatively simple to implement.
I know the feeling they changed the site a bit since i started posting pics. But i would prefer a member vote or comment and not just some annoymous person to rate my photos that could be somebody that doesn't think about how hard some of this can be. Also the community section would be nice to have like it use to and the people i follow were at the bottom again that was great. I didn't have to search for things.
NVIDIA,@Dianne: Agree with Dianne, I am always prepared to hear criticism, what to improve, but anonymous openness of this site is against such a share leading to better content submissions. Thank you !
NVIDIA: STOP THIS ANONYMOUS VOTING! Again a number of photos have been down graded by this phantom voter(s) you should not be able to vote unless you sign in!!!!!!
