am also just seeing this post now !!! Laughing this is definitely a problem and affects many of us.
Apart from being busy with life - this problem contributes to more than 50% of my loss of interest to PSC . .you would go all out and do a good clean chop, and only comeout with minimal votes but when you look at the #of views you see 100+ and you see the winning chop ... is no where near as good as the others.

its heartbreaking and time consuming to work on a chop that consumed a quarter/half/whole of your day and get no votes and see a winning chop that is way below the standard of other chops.
Its a desease!! maybe PSC should NOT have any usernames attached to the posts in the comps untill the results are out, cause i could swear some of you guys vote based on who posted and not the quality of work

Totally agree with you KayCee.
Some of the voters have not much artistic taste too maybe... I bet that many cannot make the difference between a good chop and a bad one. And they don't care, they consider it's just for fun.
But about the entries anonymity and the votes, also about the vote system, who can change the rules? Where is the Big Boss here?
Who is he?

Want to make it a little worse, Kay Cee?
It is a chop whose percentage of the given source was used more than 80% (if not 100%) on an entry and it ends losing for entries that used cropped parts of art made by other artists.

This happens often Daenerys, other people's work used on chops. Pity there are no real rules here...
But I think that the percentage of the original source which is used doesn't really matter, as long as the chop is original, personal, well done and creative. Wink

I used 0% of a source picture once. It was a cheeky joke, just meant to give people a laugh and I still got 1 vote.
