It's a good idea, the only thing I like about knowing who posts what is the improvement factor. A lot of the time if I see an image from a member that has improved from his last images, then I think that deserves a vote. I know Im one of the few people that uses every vote and tries to look at ever image, but improvement votes are still a good thing.

You forgot to tell us how much that is in UK £ Sterling.

Oh and, for completeness: Euros (€). Even though I don't consider that a "real" currency...

This is bullshit. If anyone should be for anonymous voting, it should be me. I often wonder how many votes I dont get because of my "hurtful" and "confrontational" comments on members' entries. How many more votes would I get if people didnt know it was done by the "evil Showcase with his tactless comments"?

We tried anonymous...it didnt work. The good pictures still got all the votes, the lazy images got a few and the newbies have to stuggle to make a name for themselves...as always.

You'll be ok, Bud. Have you thought that maybe you dont get votes with you alias, Plug, becuase its an alias and you've made it known? Maybe you should give up on your mission and just post good images with your 16ozbud name?

Your problem these days is people dont vote for the kind of stuff you do...they're all artsy fartsy and shit now. You dont even need to chop an elaborate idea well anymore. You just need to make an honest "attempt" at chopping it and you get the vote.

not by the color of their names but by the color of their postings!"

Calm down Showcase - You should know me by now, Im Mr anti-establishment

I agree with Blue Lurker about why the posts should not be anonymous. I wouldn't mind in the least if nothing about voting changed at all... but if it had to, I would "vote for" anonymous voting... NOT anonymous posting... just the voters remaining anonymous... at least until the close of voting. There are pros and cons to every suggestion, and I can think of several of both for mine.

I suspect one of the biggest annoyances to people so concerned with the current "system" of voting... is that there really isn't one. I, myself, vote for different things for different reasons. If eveyone agreed with my choices, then only the entries I voted on would have any votes at all! Nothing will please everyone all the time. It's probalby best to leave it alone...

i think we should transfer money to the author of an entry instead of voting. at the end of the year all the money comes together in a pool, and we all have a giant party at the home of the winner of the year (for example: 2005 party at anfa!)
