I only used the example of robot pics to show the kind of pictures that I would give positive points for. I think anyone who shares pics of their robot is worthy of positive rep, so I would personally give them it. If your team member was distributing info not meant for release, you may want to give him negative rep (and discuss it further in person, no doubt ;-).

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

Sorry for the confusion... I'll keep my $.02 to myself next time......

Dave and me kinda understood that. Our concern is just that why one person get all the reputation? One person takes the pictures(maybe someone else posted it up), many hands went into building the actual robot(they dont get credit either). Your idea is really good though. We just need to make it a little fair for everybody...

but cheif delphi isnt about getig points for building robots... its about sharing the experence. i think that if someone went thrugh the trouble of posting a decent picture, they should get reputation points. because thats waht its about.

and about this... its a novel idea and ive seen it implemented on many sites. however i think that there is a reason you dont find it here. you cant have a rateing system based on quality of the picture. it just doesnt work. people get judgemental and start judging content. and i personaly believe that you cant tell the best robot from the worst robot by looking at a picture. or see what a team is all about. or basicly anything productive that would be worth rating.

however a LARGE | Medum | small gallery sorting wouldent be bad. or even a thumbs up/thumbs down. but i like the pictures by date on the portal, and i hope it stays that way.
