The 11th+ images would be included in the poll just as all the others are, but only if they were added before the poll was created. Again though, I don't think this would have prevented the 11th addition in this particular competition.

I don't know how these things work on your system. I would have thought the best thing is to have a slightly different thread setup for mini-comps. Each new post in the thread would have a flag set when it detects that an 'IMG' has been posted (but not where it's part of a reply). If the post doesn't have an IMG then it must be a comment post, and the flag would not be set. When 10 flags are set it could trigger the bot immediately on filing the 10th post that contains an IMG and set up the poll. That would prevent too many IMGs being posted.
But I guess that may not be possible?
