Rest your head, Jack. :-) If a photo receives 12 nays before reaching 60 votes, it's automatically out. No beating of dead horses. If a photo receives 20% nays after reaching 60 votes, it's automatically out. Those horses will no longer be beaten either. More votes (>60) does not work against any photo per se, it just means that the percentage is drawn from a larger sample of votes. So the surplus votes are not beating dead horses, but rather firming up the percentages for the keepers. Of course, an image could encounter a batch of nay-votes late in the process, making it tip the 20% balance. But the more votes, the more likely is that percentage to be representative for "general opinion". :-) Anyway, it's the three weeks' turnover that is the real problem. My guess is that the gallery requires more human attention than Pentax anticipated.
