If they wanted to do it properly, they should monitor the popular vote of each individual to see if they tend to vote in a similar manner to the judges. If they see enough consistency with specific individuals, then they could rely on the rejection of the popular vote. But that would take much more time and effort on startup and that is what they are lacking.
Perhaps what they actually do is have a ceiling and floor for consideration and rejection. The image starts at zero and each vote increments or decrements until either floor or ceiling is reached. At that point, floor images are rejected and ceiling images are held in reserve for the judges final decision. The first day of the artist judging a couple of my images suddenly became rejected. The next day, they were back on waiting for review. They are still there, but a few others have been rejected. I suspect they fine tuned the voting as it got started. -- Bruce Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 8:57:39 AM, you wrote: A> That's my impression too, Bruce.
