It was late when I logged on, so I might have missed some details. However, the site requires consent to your taking part in this project, by ticking a box. I was pretty tired last night, so I couldn't figure out what the consequences would be of not accepting the deal. Besides, I was curious enough to want to see what it was. :-)
You can skip the evaluation page and go to your own pics, your profile, etc. anytime you like. One curious thing I noticed was that navigating away from the evaluation page and back again would bring up a different set of pictures. Seems like the set you're presented with is selected by random. I think the jury's still out on the convenience of this function, but IMHO it's not a mark of good design when people feel obliged to wade through 50-60 images like Jack did.
