I've fallen into that too, the prom dress thing. I've watched my shots (which i post rarely) get booted back right quick. I just figure that's the nature of the beast.

When I emailed Mr Fel about the Collections Issue, I did ask that he create a new section for just collections. That would be a better solution than telling people to stop.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION A NEW SECTION OF PHOTOS OF COLLECTIONS IS A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO RESPECT FREEDOM AND CREATIVITY OF ALL THE MEMBERS'S.

Don't stop.
 

Waste of my time... clearly.. :rolleyes:

I guess I'm a prime example of what Fireflyed refers to as posters who upload "*explitive* pics of a wall of 25ths still in there package".... Well, I like that kind of stuff and think it looks cool. My two favorite posters on here are Randy S. and Soundwave. I like looking at MOC figures in a Joe room or a bunch of figures in a shot. Why is that so bad, but something like "Dart crouched on a rock in my backyard" is better? Anyway, if you don't like something then give it a low rating.

I have to admit, I'm not keen on collection pics in the photo gallery.

But I do tolerate them. Part of that reason why I tolerate them is down to the definition of the word diorama.

The meanings can be found here:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/diorama

Since this place is called joedios, in keeping with the title of the web address for this site, we should all tolerate these contributions, like them or not.

As G has already pointed out, this site is for pictures of all kinds, which are Joe related. So fair play I guess!

D :D

I guess..
 

Ok so I guess I should be more tolerable in future.. . what a ********

Ok, we rationaly figured out that people can post their collection pictures without a theme at the joedios photo place, but we can go one asking why people come here post hundreds of pictures and don't left one small coment to the others. What did you think? (and most of the time the ones who don't give a post are the same that post hundreds of pictures.)

First of all, Rich-that was COMPLETELY inappropriate...........I had hoped that you had a bit more respect than that.........at least for me.


Secondly, I know that we are all a bit frustrated, let's face it, when there's this much talent on one site-it can get overwhelming........ :p


I will continue to edit and/or delete as I feel is necessary..........if you don't like it, then I'm sorry........but that's the way the rules of the site go........I'm the one who gets shafted by those who don't like the rules.........and if I can deal with petty bulls**t, then so can the rest of you..........


If people cannot use common sense, then that's their problem........let's not make it everyone else's problem as well, shall we??


Remember, all of us who are bitching on this thread are NOT the ones who are (for the most part), actually coming into the forum to puruse the threads......... ;)
So we're just venting to each other.......and the problem is not being solved........all it's doing is letting off steam. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.....let's just try to keep it civil, shall we?) :)

Ergo, don't come to the thread and sh*t on those of us who make the attempt to 'play nicely together'.............and I'm not trying to single any one person out here..........take the time to either post on one of the person's pics who doesn't make and effort to 'get to know us' and 'gently' let them know about the forum and the etiquette rules we all try to follow........and if that doesn't work, then send them a PM.........


Does that sound do-able to everyone???


Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.........

I always love seeing collection pics. Especially army builder pics. I post a mix of collection and little dio pics. Sorry if i offended anyone with my collection pics. Someone even asked me on here to post a comparison pic of a night raven and phantom just to see the size difference.

let me just say up front that I am not trying to offend anyone, and if I did, I do apologize. I understand this a place for everyone to post pictures (and what a great place it is :D ) . Like scarlet, sonn and company said early, it is frustrating when you put a lot of time in to the set and lighting and posing just to have it kicked to the back really qwik, and its nothing against the collection pics at all, as far as blk dragon is concerned I actually enjoy the giant collection pics. As far as what gen. scar said, it is an excellent point, we are really just venting to each other. As I said early, I'm not trying to be mean or not accepting of the new guys. I was just offering a suggestion for a new pic posting thread :) . I'm sorry if I pissed anyone off, and I'm not trying to push anyone away from the site. And like the general said, it would be easier to tolerate the 20 pics posted at one time if we at least had some idea of who they are. So I'll follow what scarlet said and attempt to get the silent guys involved in the forums. sorry again, I just wanted to make a suggestion and may have gone about it the wrong way.

ps. don't lose hope rich, we need you here!
