Does there need to be a new system put in place for the top viewed and top rated, because as I see it the first thing anyone coming onto this site see's are the links on the left hand side, hence they will probably always remain the top viewed. The top rated will have so many votes that it would take hundreds of negative votes to bring the rating down.
There are so many excellent pictures that deserve the top spot but do they have a chance? With so few votes on initially being uploaded just 1 negative vote can take a good picture straight off the top rated list!
We could do a top viewed by month, same with top rated. This could give new images a chance. Will also make getting the iotw updated more oftern (ie once a month) =)
