Brad, I have been gone a while - what's the deal with voting for yourself? If it's ok, and everyone's doing it, I'll do it too. Otherwise, I'll not vote.

Hi Eric. There are no restrictions that prevent one from voting for themselves and I assume the behavior is common among participating members.

Awww its a shame the pink panther didn't get placed

 

[millionsofchameleons]

i think pictures should not have the name of the person who it belongs to for the voting. that way voting can be completly about the picture and not who took it, just incase that may happen. just a suggestion
