You may have noticed that the "Art Council" button is back on some images. We are continuing the testing of the art council nomination process for images to be included in the Main Galleries (on the left-hand column). The main change from the previous test is that we are now recording nominations and art council votes. We will use this information for two purposes:
1. By default, you will only be able to nominate two images per week. If one or both of those images is confirmed by the Art Council (8 people have to vote "yes"), then you will be able to nominate another image. Otherwise, you will need to wait 1 week before you can nominate again. This should add an incentive to only nominate images that you really think should be confirmed by the Art Council.
2. We will be looking at the voting history in order to identify users who are fair and have a good track record of voting 'yes' on quality images and 'no' on sub-standard ones. Over time, Art Council members who vote unfairly or inconsistently will be replaced by new members.
We will continue to refine this process as we get more feedback.
