I like the idea of no more than 3 per week. Too many people seem inclined to load multiple variations of the same photo. Indiscriminate raters then rate all variations equally. The next thing you know, the variations of a single photo are taking up a sizable block of the top rated page, squeezing out others that much more. I would hope that this limit would make the photographer a little more discerning of his or her own work.
This is a good time to touch on one huge negative aspect of digital cameras(which I love). Unfortunately, digital cameras do not suddenly make a bad photographer a good photographer. They just make it that much easier for a bad photographer to get loads of their images into places like PN. I've noticed that a disproportionate amount of the most unrefined images on this site seem to be coming from digital cameras. I urge said digital photographers to be more respectful to the medium, despite their new toys. Sorry for the rant. cheers.
Should PN limit the number of uploads per person per day or per week...?
