Ok, here we go :) I've seen it said in another thread I started (I do like to be popular) 'CGSociety snobbery', well although I could see some changes there, the basic idea of uploading anything you like to your personal gallery but only work of a certain quality to the public gallery has some merit.  I don't think that's 'snobbery', after all you are given the option of submitting work for inclusion in the public gallery. I'm not advocating that system exactly, but I don't see a problem with artists being recognised for putting more time and effort into their work than some others. That said, I don't believe that work should be relegated to an unseen personal gallery.  I'm putting forward the idea of two public galleries, one for any work posted, another for work that stands out. Sort of along the lines of CGSociety's CGChoice gallery. I've never made it into

that gallery, but one look and I know why, nothing to do with snobbery, just quality. 

 I couldn't care less what people think of me so I'm happy to be part of that judging process, and before anyone whines about how it's wrong to be judged, get over it, for those who create art for fun it's a good incentive to improve and sets a benchmark to aim for, and for those who have or want a career in cg then having your work judged is part and parcel of the job.  Btw, I have absolutely no experience in being a mod, although I did once have a parka and a vespa, my only qualification is my willingness to put my name forward. That and the fact that I will stand by what I believe to be right and back down and apologise when I'm wrong. As for my ability to judge other peoples work, who knows, I'm what I consider a good artist but not a great one(yet) what qualifies anyone to judge anothers work? Maybe it's just what I mentioned above, a willingness to give it a try.

NOW BURN ME BABY!!!
