The Sept challenge winner was won by someone with 1 post. Someone who's entire post history only includes two words: "Sounds Great".
I seriously think the challenges should have a minimum post requirement to keep people from joining, and just submitting an image w/o contributing to the community. At least something like 200 posts.
Am I the only one who noticed this? I just find it disturbing that anyone trolling around for things like this can just waltz in, drop off, and bounce.
I don't see the rationale in this, nor do I see you present any evidence to convince me otherwise, merely the flimsy argument that is just plain bothers you. Maybe you could expand on that a bit as to why it bothers you? I can see that you're a big-time regular here, thousands of posts, and you're probably interested in preserving this tight-knit community you're so familiar with? Sure, I understand the sentiment but still have to ask: what's the big deal? Wouldn't you rather have more photos to vote on than fewer, and don't you want to encourage participation in this contest and on these forums? The sort of restrictions you propose only serve to limit the persons who will spend time here, which I (though a newbie) completely disagree with and am at a complete loss as to why you feel it necessary (I truly hope you're not afraid of some competition?). Besides, this is still about the photo, right? Who cares who submitted it, lets just try and make the best photo win. Just my 2 cents.
To make it clear, I understand perfectly why there should be a post quota to vote in the contest and completely agree with it. However, I do not see the rationale in a post quota for submitting a photo to the contest.
