What´s the point having a score for pictures when no-one, it seems to me, follows it? Everybody gets a 10 score. Maybe it´s just me but if I want to give someone even "just" an 8, I feel it might be taken as a sort of insult! This is like the practice of giving bravery badges to kids after a visit to the dentist - even the ones that have to be forcefully held down or shot with a tranquilliser dart from a crossbow.
Why not simply have a facebook-like "like"?
The current picture of the week could be taken as an example - fine shot, no doubt about that - but to get the best of all possible scores - by everyone that voted, including me?
