Where is PCA 5? (The jetphotos badge)

[HKG_spotter]

You probably know what I mean if you're even a semi-OG jetphotos person, or when you flick to the most viewed photos on this website. The People's Choice awards for photos of outstanding quality "as voted by our members".

Recently there have been quite a few photos e.g. the electric plane flying over a volcano that, imo, fit the standards of a PCA 5 badge.

So I would like to ask, why was the system of PCA badges removed? And would a PCA 5 ever be implemented?

I think the PCA would be an award abused to no end, in someone's abusive shoes they would rally followers into voting their entries every time. but thats my 2 cents

ErwinS do you know why? given you are the jetphotos admin

As we already have people paying (cheating) for views in some dedicated groups, we just can’t bring the PCA back, simple as that.
