I think that people should be better at commenting in general, and that people should tell people not to take a lot of shots of the same thing. Communication is the key to improving peoples pictures and in turn this site.

I seem to remember a time where Master Fel wanted us to police ourselves. So if a guy posted his 60 shots of the MOBAT sleeping in the motorpool, the members were supposed to get on his case and tell him, "Dude, too many shots!". Also, the members were to deal with the spam and trolls. But as it turns out, the trolls don't leave no matter how many people get on their case. Which is how I ended up in power. We needed someone who would be active on the site and throw down when needed.

It'd be nice NOT to have a limit on the amount of fotos we upload in a row BUT I've found that people will comment on those several shots in a row rather than say, "Dude, enough!"

too many shots
 

you want me to rig them with explosives set to detonate then? :o

I just wouldnt want a flame war ensuing if i told a newb he'd posted too many shots of the same crud. :D

I dunno Rich. It's all how you say it to 'em. I don't think a flame war would ensue. Or at least, you'd think there wouldn't be one.

I think 3 is a good number (although I'm fine with 4). I'm sure I have posted 4 or 5 a few times earlier on when I wanted to post a mini story, and before I knew better. I have enjoyed posting a single picture, and then a followup a day or two later. I think for me that is the way to go...

Better to start a story and leave people wanting more than to post too much, and leave people wishing for less.

You are talking about a "feeling" that some people don't have. Right now the photo section keep being flooded with 5 or 6 shots of the same thing.

I don't get bored to watch 5 or 6 good shots, from diferent poses, in sequence. I get bored to look at 5 or 6 shots of the same scene just from diferent angles and close ups.

That is a good policy.

Trolls are a special case, they get their jollies from having lots of people on their case thats why it is unfortunally necessary with moderators.
But thing is that people who post to many pictures of one thing and in poor quality are not trolls! Everyone who have been talked to have taken the hint. And without friendly pms from DaveCW2 and lots of other hints and tips on this site on in threads I would never have improved. You too once gave me some constructive critizism. We can set a cap on pics that works for me but I would like to stress the fact that people should be told in their coments on their pictures how many is proper.

Trenchy, I fully agree.

I'll tell you guys what. For now, the usual 5-6 shot cap is still in effect. But I ask that ALL of the members here step up and tell those who post too many of the same shot (not quite flooding, but close, y'know) that it'd be appreciated if they picked and choose the best shots to represent what they want.

Let's see how that works. Otherwise, I'll go with what the people want. 3-foto cap.

Sounds Like a plan.
 

Sounds like a good plan G. :cool: we'll go with that. :D

I see this is being followed, right now the first 10 pics are from the same person.
