As more and more people start becoming part of this wonderful community, there seems to be a lot more concern about negative votes and points.  Time to try and put this to bed.

Stop getting offended by receiving down votes. Some people have different interests. Some people just like to vote down to earn points. What is the difference. There have been some added features that you should take advantage of:

Start your own group or club with people of the same interests and post your pics to those groups. You'll probably receive less down votes.

Use that little check box so that your photos aren't shared with everyone. Since some people are overly sensitive about seeing women, fish, dead animals, etc.

For the voters, vote down if you don't like it, vote up if you do. Let's not attack people for their personal interests.

Points DON'T MATTER.

And finally, this is and should remain a fun site. If you're worried about what your kids might see on here, supervise their internet activity (you should probably be doing that anyway). People are getting hung up on being the profile police. It's a bit crazy. Slow the pump on the internet muscles and ease back.

In my opinion, some of the blogs and forums are getting stale, becuase people aren't taking the time to look at what has already been written. There are too many forums about negative votes, pics, etc. There are too many forums on golf balls, irons, drivers. Take the time to read what others have written and contribute your own info. You may find some people with similar ideas. That's the social networking concept.
