Ok, I had to entice you to read this … yeah, the title is a little misleading, though not far from the truth.

I HAVE TEMPORARILY BLOCKED ALL SUBMISSIONS because we now have 114 pages of images.

I can only presume means that some of you have MAX’ed out your submissions to this group. Whilst you might wish you had unlimited and un-moderated uploads, I don’t. The idea of this group is to display Adelaide and South Australia, not your pet dog nor your flowers in your backyard (not that anyone does that, that is just an example.)

As you can appreciate, it is quite a challenge to go through the mountains, valleys, trees, jetty’s and landscapes that are submitted every day and night.
Since there are only so many hours in the day, my role as moderator has 3 steps to complete in a short time:
... 1. Accepting ALL the photographs that appear to be of our State ( I don’t always check the requirements, I rely on good-faith and the friendships I have with many artists ),
... 2. Rejecting all those that either animals from other countries ( Yes, even those photographed at the Adelaide zoo !),
... 3. Rejecting those that are subject-specific therefore would better suit other groups ( If you don’t understand, read the updated FAQ . )

SO YES, I HAVE TEMPORARILY BLOCKED ALL SUBMISSIONS.

This will enable you to help me with the “Spring Clean”:
... 1. UN-join from the group ASAP.
... 2. Then RE-join straight away. Please re-/read the requirements of artwork before pushing the “REJOIN” button!
This will clear out ALL your artwork. Once the group is clear, I will open the group again to enable you to resubmit your BESTESTEST artwork.

I look forward to seeing the group devoid of images within the next 72 hours. Those who have rejoined already, welcome this opportunity to view artwork from fellow South Aussies!

I’ve left and rejoined.

Will resubmit once the group’s devoid!

Thanks Stephen, onto it now. Appreciate what you do with this group that allows us all to show and communicate!

Thanks Steve and Marion! I am now DELETING what appear to be DEAD/INACTIVE member accounts to speed this along.

Done!!

No probs

Best go to bed mate, no hurry. Cheers

Sorry I haven’t been around, I’ve had too much work to do. You’ve both done a fantastic job of clearing out the “gallery”. It looks so refreshed and tidy!! Just like new!! Well done :D

O.K Stephen all done
