Black and White Photography

Small change to acceptance rules

Jason Ruth Jason Ruth 8 posts

no arguments from me as it is obvious from the groups name as to what sort of images can be submitted to the group

No arguments here either – I thought the rules were clear from the begining if not the name of the group!

I`m OK with that, It makes me wonder is some people are colourblind though

It always amazed me what part of Black and White or Duo tone people don’t understand… very sensible new rule!

Hi what picture are you referring to by question and not in any discriminatory way?

Hi Guyzimij,
I presume you are directing this question at me.
It wasnt a matter of any one image, it was more a case of multiple images all the time every day.
I am guessing at least 10% or more of the images posted here were being deleted because of colour content, some were borderline, some were subtle but still obviously more than duotone, some were selectivley coloured, and some (a surprisingly large amount) were pure straight colour photos.
regards
Garth

Only makes sense. You guys who run these groups for our benefit do a great job. Thanks.

specs…oops!
But the others…?They weren’t mine.Have a nice day .I still love the photos.
And I thought I was colour blind… in a B&W group.

Good Idea, we had to do the same in our group due to members not reading the rules.

And then I submit a shot. Its black and white. Follows all the rules. And yet its rejected because it apparently breaks the rules…

Alexander I rejected it because I see it as blatant advertising.
What did you say in the text for the reply to the first comment on this pic? ...”Alexander Edwards replied 11 minutes ago
Thanks… I wonder how long I can get away with using this concept… lol”

It’s hard being a host.
And being a submitter LOL.
But then, that’s the challenge in life.

I completely concur… I mean, I don’t see how people can get confused about the name of the group, “Black & White Photography…” It’s not like it’s written in swarhealy or anything…. black… &... white. Its as black and white as that… :-)

Sounds pretty obvious to me and a good idea.

Way to go! It is a shame that you had to point it out but definitely had to be done!
