IIRC, the voting system *used to* work like this: - A photo required at least 60 votes. - A photo could collect votes all the time between submission and the next jury meeting. - Any photo that got 20% Nay was auto-rejected.
This resulted in three apparently different rejection patterns. 1. Early rejection If a photo collected 12 Nays before reaching 60 votes, it got an early auto-rejection. 2. Random rejection, usually between 2 and 4 weeks after submission This would happen when a photo exceeded 20% Nays after reaching 60 votes, but before appearing before the Pentax jury. This was also an auto-rejection. 3. The Needle's Eye When the Pentax jury considered the photos surviving the mob. It also, of course, resulted in seemingly variable acceptance times. If you were lucky, your photo could come through with only 60 votes at a meeting soon after submission. If you were *un*lucky, your photo could oversit one jury meeting, spending 4 or even 5 weeks at the mercy of the mob vote. AFAIK, Pentax tried to vary the rejection percentage and the number of votes required, in order to keep the frequency of their jury meetings at a manageable level. What's definately new in this incarnation of the gallery is the upload limit. I have no idea if anything else has changed at all.
