Black and White Photography

Small change to acceptance rules

Garth Smith Garth Smith 542 posts

Hi everyone,
sorry that I feel its necessary for me to do this.
I have become increasingly annoyed by colour photos and especially selectively coloured photos being added to group.
Its quite simple what black and white or duotone photography means. A black dog on a green grassy background is not, neither is a yellow flower in the middle of a black and white photo.
From now on additions to the group will be moderated. Your work will be approved by a moderator before entering the body of work.

regards
Garth

Wonderful idea. The only way to make sure the group guidelines are met.

You do what you have to do….RB might as well have a “select all” check box for groups when uploading work…so many people do that!! They don’t understand what the hosts have to do to keep the groups together. Swell job Garth :)

Ok with me. Some people are so narcissistic they will do anything to promote themselves.

No arguments from me on this one. Sorry to have more work for the hosts of the group, though.

Well done, sad but necessary it seems, I am thinking of knocking back one of my groups due to a few flagrant rule breakers.

It’s a shame that people can’t follow the rules, so do what you have to do. Unfortunately it makes more work for you. Too bad.

Agree with that…

The only way to go. Most of the unmoderated Groups become a dumping ground for all sorts of Images that have nothing to do with the subject.
More work, but a good decision. – Ted

Yup sounds sensible to me, if people can’t be bothered to read the rules it makes your job more difficult, frustrating and time consuming.
