Dear Host,

The capture dates given on some entries to this challenge are false: they have been manually altered to make the relevant entries ‘fit into’ your capture date rule. This is cheating. Each of the relevant entries has been annotated in its’ comments field. Need evidence? See http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50756164

Entries that do not comply with the rules of a challenge should, as a matter of fairness to other entrants and to those who did not enter, be disqualified. Policing rules that you set is an integral part of your duties as Host and your obligations to members who entered valid images, to members who have the integrity to act honestly and to DPR members generally.

Likewise, your failure, neglect or refusal over a period of two weeks to deal with Car629’s request for a ruling is, at best, discourteous in the extreme and it is also a failure of your basic obligations as Host.

Pat Curley.
