thats my 3rd highest vote getter won the contest, and it got a 2.0 rating?
personally I said it before, the 1 - 10 rating system is stupid, it does nothing but give 'guests' a chance to vote. Do we need them to vote? they're not paying or playing to be here. If people want to play, they'll play. I joined by looking for tutorials, I saw the contests, and joined. it wasn't because I could vote 1 -10 on images. (they didn't even have that option yet) It seems the only time they are now used is like it was just said... jealousy.
So really do we need the 1 - 10 rating system? It was originally set up to settle ties (which personally was already settled) by who posted first
I wish I could find that classic example of someone like photoshop master with a 10 on his entry
its a stupid system, and it needs to be removed IMPO.
