Question A strange like

slowpez · 06-21-2020, 10:45 AM

I just received a "like" for a photo I posted for next month's monthly contest. Since the contest hasn't started yet I thought all photos were not visible until voting began. Don't get me wrong, I love likes and no comment was made so I don't think voting was affected. Just curious as to how it happened.

I'd say it likely came from a moderator (you should be able to see this in the post / in the user cp), as only moderators can see submissions before the contest closes.

Ah thanks Adam. The photo showed 4 views also and that caused a bit more confusion on my part. Guess I'm just showing my age. Appreciate your explaining.
