Some people don't visit this forum. Feel free to pm the guy and tell 'em what's up!

I went with 3 but have been guilty of going over in the past. What I don't like is all the off topic photo's that go up (ie. Star Wars, Marvel and so on). I collect alot of these myself but figure there is a place for them and its not a Joe Dio Site. Just my two cents.

This has come up before. I don't like non-Joe shots either, but I recall Hammerfel saying that he's cool with all that stuff, so we just have to put up with it. Do what I do and just ignore them and concentrate on the pics of Joes.

If that was how you feel these situations should be handled, why did you bother making this thread?

I don't want to come off as a jerk, but 90% of the time there's a problem with photo flooding it's by a new member (who usually post a bunch of shots and then are never too be heard from again)

Would it be possible to place a "Joedios Etiquette" thing on the front page? Ya know just saying "In an effort to be fair to all members please limit your self to uploading *insert cap here* number of photos, be receptive to criticism and feel free to comment on photos by other members"

It'd solve a lot of problems this site has (photo flooding, no one but the same 8-10 people commenting)

I kinda like the idea of a JoeDios Etiquette, but would suggest at the point to upload. For instance, you click on the "upload" link and are taken to a page that has the etiquette message. User clicks the "I agree" check box and the page continues to load all the normal upload things.

we do already have an etiquette of sorts.. but it's between those who actively participate at the forum.

I'd also like to think that the majority of vets here now know about the photo upload thing. I've limited myself to 3 now as I think this is a reasonable but fair number. I've been actively commenting alot on peoples photos too, i figure that if i am not contributing photos myself I can at least comment on the photos i do like

One more thing, this etiquette is between us all, veterans, recent members and contributors and lurkers.. this site would be alot better if we were honest with each other and pitched in with the front page more.

I'll suggest one thing here, and that is that the etiquette or brief guide rules with photo uploading be posted at the beginning of this thread and also pinned to the top of the message board. I will help out where I can by Pm'ing anyone that blatantly floods the forum, and then provide them with an instant link to the etiquette.. this will then give graham the chance to sort out the trolls and other general forum maintenance.

Just thought on, you could actually leave this thread open for general discussion and just sub head the etiquette under the rules and regulations thread.
I will then point the said member to that thread.

I went with 3 as well for many of the reasons others said usually when it's more there are out of focus shots are many boring shots of the same pic from different angles I like seeing original pics are if the pics are close there better be a good story with them

I think this point is exactly right. How does one police themselves if the photo flood is from typically not active member. They don't really have to care about etiquette.
