After lively discussion on facebook. I think it is time to ask in the jp forums. We had demands that jp.net should accept "interesting" photos (defined as subjects usually scoring many views) even if they have technical faults, that would warrant a rejection.
While I think views should not be used to define interesting, I think the general idea is worthy to be discussed.
So in a nutshell. Would you like to see a reduction in screening consistency and more influence of the individual screeners decision in exchange for more "interesting" (how to define this I have no idea) shots are accepted?
This would mean it will happen that a photo might be accepted, while your up-load (with similar faults) would be rejected, although you might find the accepted shot not interesting at all and your shot very interesting.
Typical examples resulting from the idea presented to us:
Delta 737 backlit and landing at SXM -accept
Delta 737 backlit and landing at ATL - reject
Plane X in a scrapyard and soft but first up-load - accept
Plane X in the same scrapyard and soft but third up-load to the db - reject
SXM shot with naked woman and backlit plane - accept
AMS shot of the same plane similar backlit but a man in full clothes - reject
The jp.net team is very sceptical of this approach, as it conflicts with some of our basic site rules, like to never (except hot photos) consider all photos in the database when screening an up-loaders shot and to only consider his portfolio. But still we would like to know, if our users want to trade consistency for more "interesting" or popular shots being accepted.
