" Images must be shot after...

Perhaps click the complain button beside each one of them and let the HOST know? Send a message to the HOST and let him know? VOTE down every image with EXIF data outside the rules (and post a comment)?

Perhaps the host plans to DQ now that the voting stage has begun. Perhaps this is another hosst who doesn't care about his/er responsibility as a host.

Lot of questions here but one thing is for sure--this is a frequent problem. Just search this forum.
