my entry for this month... at first didn't want to take part (upset with the top 100 thing and the 1 or 2 votes), but still after the trip to the oldest town in Siberia, Tobolsk, I decided to show its beauty. the river is still frozen, not much green around, but still spring could be felt in the air

Good decision
, nice photo.

@blackvodka: wise decision
, keep in mind, the top 100 has nothing to do with this competition.

Great shots, good for all!

...this is a temper of spring ... I think...

Nice shot tranced.
My proposition of Spring has come. Two firebugs.

To make things clear. No additional lens has been used. Pixon’s zoom is quite impressive.

@9_destiny: thanks. Yours is very nice!
@mariozlp: are they twins?
Nice ones yours!
I've taken new ones today. I think I will change my previous one.
Posted by Ricky D
@9_destiny great shot but didn't anyone tell you it's rude watch and especially rude to take photos of such an intimate moment!
Great pictures all round though. I may have to rethink my entry!

The "Do not disturb" sign wasn't in the door.

Great shots
I better get out and shoot some too.
Posted by rikken
Nice pictures guys
Posted by 9_Destiny
Very nice shot Mario
@ Ricky. At first I wanted to call it: Two Firebugs enjoying their time. I got even a shot showing 2 firebugs playing football. If you are interested I could put a link
@ Tranced. Good point. I guess they were exhibitionists waiting 4 such paparazzi like me
@ hihihans. Would be nice to see your entry. I encourage you to go out and snap some shot. You shouldn’t have problems with snaping spring if you’re from Netherlands.
I’m wonder why someone delated couple of the highest marks of this shot since my last log. Not only in that picture. Very, very strange. It’s not the first time when I’m loosing best makrs. Funny thing is that I’m not loosing the lowest ones at all. Only when I sent a PW to laffen to verify some of my pics but I’m not gonna bother him each time when I’ll get from 3-6 ones in a row. I don’t know what to think about it. Anyway if someone want to see more of daily firebug’s life I would be more than happy to show more pics but not necessarily via Esato cos I want to avoid all this circus with votes…
EDIT:
My bad. I've also nothiced that this time they've also delated some of the lowest marks from other pictures. Something good is happening...

I removed a several hundred votes yesterday. It was from the same user, but he/she was using several accounts when voting. These guys try to stay below the radar by voting on regular members like yourself, but there is patterns that give them away anyway. I won't reveal how I spot them, but for me, it is very obvious that these votes are done to favourite some users and vote down competitors.

Well done laffen

Here is my entry. I'm not that hopeful but wanna participate anyway

Participating is as important as trying to win.
Thanx Laffen.

The number of views should replace the voting system...

Well said hihihans.
@ Tranced - or simply number of likes/favs with possibility of comment each pic.
Posted by tranced
Exactly. Thought in that as well.
Posted by Ricky D
Great news laffen. I like the new nav bar in esato too. Is that your doing? It's much clearer, less cluttered but still compact.
Posted by laffen
Should we replace the rating system with a Like voting system? And maybe a dislike vote as well? If so, do you have an opinion of how existing votes should be converted?
Posted by tranced
That's a good point. What will happen with the existing votes?
Can we move to a new topic and start throwing in some ideas?
Posted by Ricky D
All votes 7+ == 1 like ??
Current rating system score can still be displayed on the photo info page but in the gallery just show number of likes and maybe a like button.
With a 'like' voting system it is important to not have a dislike (negative like) function only an unlike (remove like) or we'd end up in the same situation as currently with negative voting.
Posted by tranced
Excatly. Just a "like" option.

On mobilmania.cz there is solution that new members can vote after uploading 3 photos, and it is alowed to upload 1 photo per day. Here could be more strict, like 6 photos, so it will be more job for occounts created only for voting. Also, it is public who had voted, but votes itself can be hiden. I'm new there and don't understand chez, so don't know did they have issue with votes or is this working, but it looks like worth of try.

I made some pics today and it was hard to decide which one to post here as my entry... but finally I decided to try with lilac one because there is many trees already.
So here it is

Good luck to everybody!

Great idea! Let allow to rate only for those who have uploaded 6 or even at least 10 pics. To make our secret hater/lover more annoying life. We could easier verify who it might be when some new member will start to upload many pics during the ones marks campaign.

Dislike option would be just another tool for haters or those who would like to diss someone’s shots as it was with one marks. So I’m not sure of using it.
On the other hand only likes/favs would work in our hater favour. I just realized that he could be suddenly transformed into a lover
of his favourite pics and users.
Last but not least I got no concept how we could transform our marks on favs/dislikes. Maybe marks higher than 7 should be considered as like from 4 to 6 neutral. And all votes below 4 as dislikes but I’m not sure about it.
In my opinion emporium’s idea sounds the best 4 now. So we could still have old rating system but if someone wants to be a part of it he need to upload some shots. After investigating and banning his account he would be forced of searching new pics to upload and spent more time in his messing plan. Even if old users will rate from time to time a one note because of their own reasons it should be absolutely marginal cos’ most of us are lovers of mobile photography no matter what brand of the phone others got.
What you think about it?

Maybe in voting system if someone votes they have to leave a comment or their name comes up under the vote
Posted by tranced
Just like Lightbox, Instagram, etc.
