| Apr 9, 2021 at 19:31 | comment | added | Willeke | Over in Travel Stack Exchange our photo competition prize is bragging rights. You have more of a prize by being put in the special photo spot. But it does not stop people from posting photos every month. (Been running for more than 2 years now.) Besides our 'most upvoted' photo, we can have a special prize, 'the virtual prize' which is often just being named that. But still people enjoy participation. | |

| Apr 7, 2021 at 0:31 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @whackamadoodle3000 Secondly, I don't want to commit to that sort of maintenance on the photo contest, or set a precedent of that type of commitment for other mods to follow in my absence. Thirdly, I think "acceptance" of an answer is a genuine opinion. I can't square the concept of "randomly" accepting answers with my genuine opinion of being "most accepted", even for a short period. What about submissions I genuinely don't like, or don't think are good, or are possibly offensive? Am I obligated to accept the fate of the RNG and accept that answer, no matter what? That's a can of worms. | |
| Apr 7, 2021 at 0:23 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @whackamadoodle3000 That's an interesting concept. But I see a couple issues with it. First, I'd be subverting the intended design of the SE system. By analogy, consider that in general use, once a voter upvotes or downvotes a post, they can't change their vote unless the post is edited. So to change their vote, the voter edits the post themself (with a trivial change) and then alters their vote. That's subversion of the SE voting system, and not allowed. So similarly, I think it would be wrong of a poster, especially a mod, to frequently change the accepted answer to churn top post. ... | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 21:25 | comment | added | whackamadoodle3000 | @scottbb you could accept a random answer everyday to help equalize how much publicity each photo gets, so people who post later still have some chance to gain votes. | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 18:32 | comment | added | Tetsujin | That's the problem with the term biweekly, it means either and both, unlike biannual vs biennial which each have distinct meanings (even if people still cannot distinguish. :) | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 13:24 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @wilkgr every 2 weeks. | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 13:10 | comment | added | wilkgr | @scottbb Just checking - by biweekly, do you mean fortnightly (every 2 weeks) or twice a week? The latter seems unlikely but just wanted to check because...English :) | |
| Apr 5, 2021 at 21:34 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @RobbieGoodwin the prize is placement in the Photo of the Week sidebar (currently top two, as the contest is running biweekly). Of course, as I'm typing this in the SE mobile app, I'm just now realizing the PotW sidebar isn't visible, so.... yeah. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | |
| Apr 5, 2021 at 19:55 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | @scottbb I confess, I have no knowledge of how often this comes round, or what prize is offered and surely if each member of this group asked one local photography club to take part, there'd be many more entries… | |

| Apr 4, 2021 at 0:47 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @RobbieGoodwin I like your enthusiasm, but 29 entries (so far) seems pretty great to me! =) | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 22:42 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | I don't understand why there are so few entries! I myself see "unsupported by the ground" as rather weird and still, why are there not many more entries? | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 11:49 | comment | added | Tetsujin | You can choose how the information is displayed, but you can't set it globally or for everyone. See - i.sstatic.net/ceQj5.png | |
| Apr 2, 2021 at 7:51 | comment | added | MiguelH | @scottbb Thanks for the clarification. I'll keep a look out on meta from now on! | |

| Apr 1, 2021 at 17:41 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @MiguelH But what you’re describing is symptomatic of the reputation-based Q&A model in general. When a new question is asked, there’s a bit of a “land-rush”, where early answers tend to be more highly upvoted than later answers. That’s why I changed the recommendation for upcoming themes from being in the comments of the current competition, to being in their own long-running thread on Meta. That way, people can plan for an upcoming competition. It doesn’t help happenstance posters, but at least some can plan ahead. | |
| Apr 1, 2021 at 17:33 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @MiguelH There’s no way to do that. This site runs on the Stack Exchange software that was designed for Q&A, not really designed for things like photo competitions. Considering that the Stack Exchange network went through a redesign a couple years ago in order to reduce differences between the different Stacks, and to normalize and unify the site customization process, I doubt Stack Exchange will modify their core functionality to accommodate Photo-SE’s mis-use of the Q&A model. | |
| Apr 1, 2021 at 17:09 | comment | added | MiguelH | Would it be an idea to occasionally randomise the order that these photos are displayed in? As it is the top voted pictures are always first and therefore more likely to get an up vote. Late comers rarely get a chance to obtain as many votes. Perhaps an ordered sequence of photos by vote number on even numbered days and randomise the order on odd numbered days? Just a thought! | |
