I haven't participated in a couple years so I'm sure a few things have changed but I noticed last night after results came in for the abstract with people challenge that several images were removed. Is this by the user or admin and why?

Actually they are not removed. This occurs when 2 entries have the same end score.

Those were ties. It's how they're doing it now. Don't ask me to explain it, 'cause I don't get it, but nothing's been "removed".

So bizarre. So is there any way to see what the image is and who created it?

There is no "removed image". If you'll notice, there are two 7th place images, and no 8th place. The next place is 9th. The "removed image" icon is just a place holder for 8th place.

Its like in the Olympics, if two athletes tie for first place, they don't award a silver medal, just two golds and a bronze.

The images are all there. Look above the "removed" image and you will see two images with the same score holding the same placement.

On a related note: It seems like there's a thread about this every week. Maybe we should request that Langdon change the wording, because it's freaking people out. I fear it may not be a simple wording change in the code, because I think he may be reusing code that's designed for actually removing stuff, but it's worth a shot.

That was sure a blonde moment on my part. Thanks for pointing that out LN13 and aliqui. :)
