someone's voted for yours and gave you a good score for each of them.

So how come 1 has a score of over 10, its not possible.
Posted by tranced
system mistake. a lot of 10's may cause this.

I've fixed it
I gave it a "1", and it was fixed

Photo @ 2 should be 1st

Its crazy. I think somebody is sabotaging it to get all their photos top. The other day I noticed one member's photos in the top and told him and congratulated him in a forum post and within a day they had all been voted out.
Obviously someone is getting jealous or something.

Oh and how is it that a photo from a DSLR camera gets to be top in a PHONE PHOTO section? Thats a load of crap and its unfair on those who put an effort in with their phone camera!
I think those photos from dedicated digital cameras need to be deleted from the system.

YES, I am also SEEIN' the very SAME photo ENTRY bein' RATED twice or thrice, is this what they call: History repeats ITSELF

Yeah I've seen that too. Can someone rate that digicam picture out of the top spot please?

Looks like it's esato-itself who is RATING the ENTRIES . . . computer-generated or what . . . well anyway, if those photo-UPLOADS are bein' rated by: humans . ..
then I would suggest that they some basic-photo-appreciation-SEMINAR 101 to 1 million sessions with: marlonksi, chili, tranced, carkitten and muhammad oli 
! Even my BEST entries did NOT land in the 100 TOP Photos even Picasso's paintings are NO match with those !

Seems like someone wanted to reach the top so much that cheating was the only way.
Many Esato accounts were created just to push one member photos up the list. The same person also voted competing photos down. I have banned the 20+ Esato accounts and will watch out for similar suspicious behaviour in the future. This have been going on for a long time.
I have tried to remove the count from false votes, but have probably missed one or two.
Thanks to the member who sent me a PM about this.
