I've read through all of the proposals here David, and first let me say that I
like the system as it is coming.

I agree with the choice of making an address optional, but IMO, you should put
some sort of disclaimer underneath it.

If I were to write said disclaimer, it would be "A home address is optional, but
if provided, will only be used to mail you a prize in the case of winning a
round.  This information may be provided later, if you wish"

In this manner, people know why they are being asked, and what happens if they
don't give it right away.  I just thought I'd make a point of this.

My second point, I think that the voting system in post one works the best.  I
always liked the system of voting in three categories, partly because I once
received an 8 in one category, while recieving 6's in the others.  Granted
that's not a big difference, but I think it allows for some flexibility.  Also,
I know I'm probably all not right in my train of thought, but, just my line of
the code.

As for the comments, I think they should be on the basis of optional, but highly
recommended.  I remember in one voting round with 25 images, It took at least an
hour and a half to write out all 24 comments (myself excluded), and I had
nothing else to do.  Comments do take a while, and I'll proabably still be
happy to sit out and write them for a couple hours, but there are those out
there who may not have time, and therefore be dissapointed that their votes
won't count because they didn't have time to spare to write out comments.
Again, it's just my line of code.

Any thoughts, David, or anyone else?
