They are categories for competition - any person can join some or all. Make multiple posts if entering multiple pictures. All participants get to vote on all pics, in every category.

~~Also, @ Traveled, Bigworm, Churpee Choozle, and Awfullotofshrooms - please add the MONTH and CATEGORY~~ (obsoleted by June 6 rules update) for your already posted June pics, please. Ok to change ‘em as well, if that’s what you want to do.

While the ballots are secret, I will spill the beans to say that, out of 13 participants casting votes, none voted for their own pic, which was pretty surprising to me.

This seems to me to speak of the innate generosity and charity within all of us, I think.

I wouldn't expect anyone here to vote for themselves that'd be crazy. I wouldn't say ban it but possibly make it a disqualifier if you win. like, if those three self votes caused you to win, no you didn't type thing lol

Yep, with the new way of voting, a person would only be able to cast one vote for any pic, including their own.

Why vote for all at once instead of just having one theme at a time though? My initial point was that it would be fun and challenging that you have to follow a theme to enter, not that we needed all categories at once :lol:

:lol:

this is also cool, more People will be able to join but I myself would prefer a "main competition" with a theme changing each month.

Also, about themes, we could add plants and such to increase the interest of this contest. Anything cultivation related, even cultivation gear and such, could fit as a theme. Not just mushrooms and this makes it easier to not "run out of" themes in the long run.

And once again I also think we should remove voting for yourself, or if we decide to allow self voting then why not push peoples' morals and have a public voting? So if you decide to vote for yourself you have to do it in front of everyone.

@flapping_bird: PLEASE PLEASE reconsider the multiple categories at once!
I think categories serve not only to steer the competitors in their picture, but to narrow down judgment between voters too.

That's what I meant by 'picking out of the hat' rather a randomised SINGLE category. The inclusivity of this multi entry is cool, but will be carnage I think...
Any thoughts about that?

I also disagreewith you @Skansk about including plants, growing gear etc. There are thread like "cult pic of the day" and "new tools of the trade" and round here people tend to post in the thread they're used to/where 'their people' are. So with too much crossover, threads die.
:twocents:

:twocents:

This competition- I think- would thrive on the simplicity.

Have a good one folks!

P.S I'm tickled by the self vote stuff, strawboy you damn jester look what you done!

Self voting, of course should be disallowed and is for dingalings. If you're voting for your own mushpic in a comp with other stunning shots?

I think the challenge is participation. There were only 20 in the general actives category. Imagine the turnout for a single "stones" category for the month.

Ahhhhh…ok, y’all are wanting month to month variety of categories, not multiple categories in a given month. Ok. I’ll amend. So, this month the category will be FRUITS (actives or non-actives, fungi only).

Nothing to be done about self voting, as there’s no way to monitor or prevent it unless we go back to manually tallied votes?

The category for this month will be FRUITS (actives or non-actives, fungi only)

I think the inaugural competition voting showed that most people will not vote for themselves in this pretty laid back, for-fun, friendly competition. But I understand some people's concern, I just don't think it's that deep. Let's just have fun with it!
