It is called photo peer review, so this would mean fellow members have reviewed the photo as well.

It is a majority based system, and one of two possible outcomes happen when you take part:

• The majority see the same as you and the photo gets classified the same

• The majority see it differently and the picture is then classified differently to your view

"What if it is a mistake and my classification was correct?"

Feedback for future blogs:

This is something that could be answered or resolved if put constructively to the right people. Airing what may seem like frustrations in blogs in a not too objective manner will get a mixed response, some of it you may not like. If you don't like it, do what you need to avoid it, blog about something constructive or upbeat instead.

I would recommend you take on board part of a comment i made in a previous blog of yours - blogs like this may give a false representation of you. When it is out there and read by others these blogs are going to be a source for others to try to understand you - make it count!

I certainly didn't intend this as a rant and am sorry it has been read as such.

To clarify, I have absolutely no problem with you personally. I think you're a great guy. You have a well written profile, I loved your posts about WrestleFest, appreciated your comment on my blog.

My comment might have come across unnecessarily harsh, and I do apologize for that. My annoyance is not directed at your person, more like the general trend in negative blogging. You were simply the last to post where I could not sit idle anymore. I'm hoping to read about your good experiences or your constructive criticism. While I'm not involved directly with the site anymore, I know some of the people who are and I'm sure they do everything they can to make this the best site it can be.

The key to complaining about photo classification (or any other rant, really) is simple: be vague, spread misinformation, and never, ever be constructive.

• Vague: Never link the specific photos to your post. Ever. That would perhaps be useful for tuning the system, or expose your own mistake! It would be useful! Never do that in a rant post!
• Misinformation: The "admin and team" do not do photo classification. It's a peer effort. Everyone is participating. Spreading misinformation is crucial to a rant post. You position yourself as a poor little guy downtrodden by the establishment. (In reality you the other members of the site have disagreed with your classification, but you should never admit that.)
• No constructive content: Goes without saying. Your post is perfect.

You got this down to an art form. I give this a five-star rant post.

I must admit this was my experience too. I just let it go and decided that I must be getting it wrong, so I don;t do it any more.

Maybe I'm being thick but how is the final classification worked out? If one members says A and another says B, who arbitrates?
