Can't do any leg humping if it's a sausage fest though.







My hopes of finding true love on a technical-discussion-forum-based-in-another-continent, crushed.

Question: So even with the skewed votes, how many times does it result in a female winning?

None yet.



Considering females usually represent about 20% of the total entrants, they ought to win about one in every five contests. In the summer contest, pnutkitten and 88bin were in the closely contested top-5 and had at least 90% of the votes of the actual winner.



Cmon though, some of the competitors really do put in a lot of effort into producing a quality photo. I think that they should be rewarded with votes on merit alone, I actually don't care about their gender. I really don't see why it's necessary for 'girls to stick together' in a photo contest - that same effort could be spent on producing a photo that's just so good that it wins on merit alone.



Consider this:

I could enter a photo into the winter contest on this account and get zero female votes, or;

I could make an account with the gender set to 'female', then enter a photo in the winter contest and get female votes




And that's my beef. What if the photo contests were run without displaying the usernames of the entrants? You could just vote on numbers and it would help remove these sorts of biases.

Yes, it's partly a popularity contest, but partly not.



No, You're not popular. Get over it.



Sincerely, 98.36% of HA members.
