hey, I'm glad you asked. yeah we're getting a member portfolio soon. working on that now. but besides a "highest rate" we are going to have "featured image" that will be selected by jury members. the reason for this is, when we had voting at the old site determining the top images, cheating on the voting was common. the bad guys were affecting the outcome by giving really high scores on their buddies and low scores on the images that were higher than theirs. I want the score to be helpful to the artist, to see which areas they need to work on, and which areas they are good in. so this way everyone can be honest in their vote, knowing that it will not affect the placement of the image. so we're eliminating the motivation to cheat.

there will be TONS of goals though. we're coding the featured images section right now. a selected jury will nominate your image for feature. when, for example, 4 out of 5 jurors have chosen your image, it will become feature. so only the best images will be on the feature images page.

you'll also recieve badges and titles when getting a certain number of featured images in certain categories that can be displayed with your name on the site. there will be points awarded for submitting images, voting and commenting that will increase your rank on the site. you'll even have a comment effectiveness score that is based on how helpful your comments are to the artist.
