Sorry, I'm not following the argument (perhaps because my morning caffeine hit hasn't kicked in yet). > > Frankly, I would guess that the images are vetted by > Pentax(PhotoGallery) employees BEFORE they go to the "real" Artist > Voting stack (to make sure that nothing objectionable makes it in, > which could prove embarrassing to Pentax).

I've seen a number of 'objectionable' images during the voting process - objectionable only in the sense that they violated the PPG submission rules, including several nudes and a host of images with watermarks identifying the photographer. That suggests to me that new images go into the queue without vetting.
