I too, like Mary Ball's suggestion. How implementable is it? I don't know. The folks behind the photo.net site will have to decide.
I disagree with earlier comments I read asking to get rid of the "Top Rated" area. It is not perfect, but on a site with SO many images, (many, lets face it, not worth the download), it helps to have a place like "Top Rated". As for the ratings system itself. It too is far from perfrect, but it could be used by Mary's 15 member jury to select "guest" members (or say a 10 member jury to pick 5 guest members every month or so). The jury could look at ratings from photo.net users and decide on that if the people are being realistic, or childish, or whatever.
I would also like to see (forgive me if it exists and I haven't seen it) the ratings by folder. Even with a fair amount of gamesmanship in individual ratings, etc. I have to believe that a person with 20 pictures in a folder whose folder gets a high rating must have something worth looking at! I guess this is behind the "top rated", but I'd like to be able to see users by folder ranking.
