For the "circle" challenge I have received (and I know I am not the only one) two opposite comments, where ,obviously, the second one is a reaction to the first one. Here they are:

1. For this contest everyone who has the word â��circleâ�� in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge â�� we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest â�� but scores are all I have.

For this contest everyone who has the word â��circleâ�� in their title is getting a max 10 score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I upgrade to 10 due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge need to be reminded of the topic of the challenge â�� we really need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will give a 10. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of voting â�� but scores are all I have.

Thanks shadow for your reaction, but I am sad we had to get there in the first place. Weren't we suppose to vote mostly on the image? If the image is absolutely great ( I am not speaking of mine, 'cause it isn't that great) why should we give lower points just because the name of the challenge is in the title? I know it is hard to vote one 549 photos, but this automatic method of voting just violates every common sense rule of this contest. You will just end up with photos scored on their title and not on what they really are. So, please, stop fighting and just vote on the picture!

I'm trying to get the message across, because I too, felt violated by the vote of the "hidden voter" (dare not even show his name, lol). anyway, my case is, i felt a HIGH when i see someone use the challenge's name on the photo title, and thus any photo using the challenge's name makes the photo looks soooooo good.

LOL, the "hidden voter" was a protest (as stated on his comment)
for "shadow" it was a personal vote and his personal preference ;) hmm, now we know its not only about coke bottles!

Shadow, when I woke up and read your comment on my photo, I got to start my day with a laugh and a grin.

You are my hero for today! ;-)
