I think: everyone or none. To decide that would be enough for me. There is a proverb in conversation theory: The fastest way to get unlucky is to take part in a competition. ;-) ciao, Joe --- ciao, Joe Reply    Reply with quote    Contact joe_schmidt   davidx Premium account Joined: Dec 04 Points: 34719 Posts: 440 Posted: 2007-10-28 12:21:00    I think Jorge's sequence of pictures on Russian dancing is an excellent example of some that should not be rated on their own (unless he wamts t nominate any for rating by not using an ignore button.) On the other hand they would make an excellent 5* album. I have not consulted Jorge about this and it's just my own opinion. It's not something I thought much about until I read the suggestion here. Andy, you said you were thinking about it. I hope this will influence your thinking. --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

I missed this event and discussion while I was travelling and do not want to generate any new argument. My views on rating are well documented in the Photography Forum: - arguments, discussion, diversity makes GLOBO interesting! - rating is important for the system to sort pictures - the more who rate the more representative & correct the average - rating helps show the best first at GLOBO - rating very bad material * helps hide our trash at the bottom of lists - the whole range of star system should be used not only 5*s for everything - if in doubt, add a star - for a repetitive series of pics rate the best pic top and others lower - not rating at all is like rating 0 Martin points out correctly that *** is still good and even ** a useful travel picture, some still don't realise that! I learned hard at GLOBO that no comment is better than a bad comment. Just rating says enough and is a comment in itself - no member should be forced to explain their rating. R'Rudi PS: anyone in doubt about what is wrong with their pictures can "contact" me or any active member for a discrete comment. --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   mortimer Premium account Joined: Jun 04 Points: 15075 Posts: 528 Posted: 2007-10-31 18:04:00    Rudi Do you really think the discussion under this picture is interesting? http://www.globosapiens.net/madness/picture-kocatepe-mosque-46905.html Martin --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!

The discussion horrible under that picture. I wish staff would always be notified immediately so that such unsuitable words/text be removed and warn/disqualify rude and aggressive members. That picture and this forum thread should be deleted. The picture should be reloaded for a new try. R'Rudi P.S: I have never met a "racist" traveller. Travellers (well say 99%) enjoy learning about the culture of others and respect the differences of opinion in the world much more than others! --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   Page: 1 2
