First and foremost, I must sincerely thank you Josh for taking the time to reply to my email which I posted several weeks ago after I noticed that several of my ratings were removed. Although, like many other photo.net members, I have no objection whatsoever to the removal of 'bogus accounts, I cannot but express my disappointment at the deletion of more ratings in the past couple of days. What I cannot understand is the fact that I haven't posted an image in well over a month and yet this situation has reoccurred.

Thank you once again for your time.

I have only joined photo.net about a month ago. Like several other people I am somewhat

effected by the ratings given. However, as important as these might be, I consider views

and comments a lot more essential. This is simply due to the fact that my objective of

sharing my images with fellow photographers is reaching its goal. Sadly, this is were

ratings come in. Apparently, (and this is my presumption) if a photograph submitted does

not receive more than 4 ratings it is then 'excluded' from appearing in its respective

category. This would therefore mean that, no matter how good that particular image might

be, it would not be accessible for others to view, rate or critique. Finally, I have rarely

commented or given ratings to any particular image simply for the fact that I do not

consider my self to be 'qualified' to do so. On the other hand, it is always good to have

people who are willing to express their constructive views and comments on photographs

submitted.
