Garth, can you start a selective colouring group and tell the people that post b&w photos they can’t post there in an unsober, incoherent diatribe?

@Philip Golan – “LOL. Some will never learn, or read the rules and conditions.”

Agreed. Some here think they can post whatever they want in whatever group they want.

@Eve Parry – “I’m wondering if some people don’t understand what ‘selective colouring’ means.”

Eve, what part of B&W do they not get? Even if the group was “B&W with NO Color” they would still post them. I think the moderators will agree with that statement. ;)

Most of us (like me) like RB and the work the moderators do. Most of us show the respect and appreciation that we should to the moderators, groups and RB in general. It is the ignorant few that really make it tough when they don’t show the same respect.

I hear your pain Garth, and as a host too I am getting into the swing of not feeling bad about hitting that Delete icon! And that’s at Moderator stage!

There’s no known cure for lazy submitting, and moderating your images would be an extra burden in your Group’s case [popular or what!?] but here’s a suggestion:

  1. Add the phrase * or *~ NO F###ING SC! ~ to the Group’s name
  2. Provide for Expulsion in the Group Rules – you know, the page they don’t read
  3. Expel and feel the rush of that raw power!

:)

  1. Add the phrase No SC or ~ NO F###ING SC! ~

Thank you for the comments Peter.
I know exactly where you are coming from and its very very tempting indeed but I am not quite at that stage yet.
One bad day might be the straw that breaks the camels back though.

Well, JR, maybe people read the rules in the moment they join the group, but when they add new works, many of them merrily check all the groups they are in. I’ve deleted more than one person who continued to submit normal pics into our group of diptychs & triptychs. Many of those picture were very nice, but there are other groups for them!

BTW, there are many colourful pics in the current challenge…

Lenka, I have also kicked from the group I host. When I post a picture, I try and post so the moderators don’t have to keep seeing what doesn’t belong in the group. When you see B&W photography, WHY would anyone put a SC picture in there? The name (not even the rules) should tell them no f’ing SC!
