Reputation for pictures

I'm just saying that we users should get the option of giving rep on pictures.

As a general idea (i.e. having the option to give rep points for good pictures), I think that is fine, and something that is definitely worth discussing. No problem there. My only concern has to do with rep points being assigned to an individual when they are posting photos of the work of the entire team. It just seems to me in those cases that the rep should be shared by all members of the team, rather than one person. I readily admit that I don't know how this could be done under the current set up. But that is why I made the post - to discuss it and see if anyone has an answer to that particular issue.

Please DON'T!!! We want your $0.02!!!! (and for that matter, if anyone can loan me $1.49 for a few donuts....) The only way to make meaningful progress is to get good ideas and implement them. One of the best ways to find the good ideas is to have everyone throw out all sorts of ideas, and then discuss them all to find the one really great one that pops out. We need all sorts of ideas posted to these forii, and we will all find a way to muddle through and sort the good ones out.

Edison was once asked "how do you come up so many good ideas?" to which he responded "for every good idea, I have 99 bad ideas first."
