I am not sure if you are saying test shots should be posted at 100% crops or if they should be posted at full resolution (though the forum will resize it).
Can you clarify?
And maybe to help out people that are still confused about 100% crops and what not, could you post a picture in both scenarios?
Thanks!

I mean that somehow we should be able to see them (display them on our monitors) pixel to pixel as taken (through third party sites maybe?). Any resizing destroys resolution information (and other information of the lens IQ).
So I see greater or lesser photographs posted here that they say little about the lens taken.
On my 800X600 digital frame, photographs taken with my Pentax can't be said apart from ones taken by my poor olympus. On the contrary is very obvious when viewed on my computer monitor at full resolution.
