I just tried to upload a Ford GT, it got deleted 30 seconds later.
Then, I saw this really cool orange late sixteys Elderado and it wouldn't let me post.
Then I tried again, thinking I forgot to hit submit, and it still didn't post!
what do you guys think.

Most likely your photos are waiting for approval because you've fallen below the quality score for automatic photo posting (something that should be displayed along with spotter rating!!). I don't know if the eldorado will ever be posted as idk how exotic that car is.

My rating hasn't dropped any!.
It has increased!

Your quality score is probably under 90. Mine is too.

How do you find out your quality score?

You dont. You'll have to ask an admin for it. At least i dont know how to see it.

You used to be able to see it but the admins hid it because people were complaining. It's strange that it won't let you post anything. Have you tried it again?

I'll try again now.

Success!

Great!

@andwreo and @djshift, is there a certain rating you have to be below to have your image uploaded right away?

Yeah, i believe it's 90 now.

Wait, i read that wrong. No there is not a certain rating you have to be below.

I mean you need a quality score of 90 for them to go up instantly.

Thanks , but that means that even though my rating is 244 it could be over 90.

The Quality Score system starts you off at 85 when you join. For every photo you post that the admins aprove, it goes up 1. For every one they reject, it goes down 1. When it gets to 90, they no longer need to accept your photos before they get on the site. You can have the ranking of 1 and have your quality score be 80. That really has nothing to do with the quality score. It's just a competition thing. The QS is for photo quality and rarity of your spots

. I had a quality score of 100 last year but then the admins deleted the GT500s and the AMGs and that took my quality score down to 80. Last i asked mine was at 87 but it's like 88 now so i cant post instantly either.
