Posting Etiquette. An Appeal to the Community.
Lately I have been noticing members posting pages and pages worth of shots of the exact same subject in the exact same pose with the exact same exposure. They're mostly unedited and are mostly just pics of collections or (don't get mad please new parents!) infants. Here is my request. Please please please take the time to sort through your vast collections and share the most exceptional pictures instead of posting every single one! When you post several pages worth of unedited content, it tends to bury others who only posted one or two pics under a heaping pile of content that most of us wont take the time to sort through. I realize that this is going to upset and offend more than a few people, but I firmly believe this is becoming an issue that should be addressed by the community. So please, post a few well edited well composed shots instead of the contents of your entire memory card. Thanks for considering.

Things have changed in the last year. There was a guy less than a year ago who posted 10,000 images at one time. This is an ongoing topic of discussion.

10,000 is excessive in one download, even if the images are all exceptional and completely amazing. Mainly what I am annoyed by is the complete lack of content in mass downloads and how it tends to bury otherwise exceptional images several pages back where they may never be found except by the poster's circle of friends. It kind of defeats the purpose of posting your images if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically filter all the "fluff" out. But maybe the mods can take an occasional look at the daily downloads and start passing on the message to those who like to post hundreds if content-less images at one time that it disrupts those who take their photography more seriously and are trying to make an actual effort to share with the community.

I think the limit now is 200 per day which, in my opinion, is still excessive; but you're right. There are some who I think use this site to post proofs for their clients to look at. Foolish people do foolish things. You can't legislate common sense.

Maybe not, but you can legislate the site. Belonged to one site that allowed 1 image per catagory every three days. Needless to say, there were not any pages of junk to wade through.

Wow one per category? Well I guess there are extremes at both ends. But Im sure each picture was the pride of someones collection. Anyways, Nate, I notice the proofs and stock photos too.

To be fair, that guy was more victim than anything nefarious. He tried out the button that was supposed to pull his photos over from flickr and it pulled over the same photos many times before someone killed his account to stop it. Perhaps the code associated with the button was not as thoroughly tested as it might have been. I don't know if he joined again or not. The limit of 200 uploads appeared right after that, so I suspect it was a way of catching the code in case there was still an undetected problem after it was fixed.

I didn't know that was what happened. It was kind of funny, in a ridiculous way, while it was going on.

I think 3 pictures per day is more than adaquate. That is over 1000 pictures per year. I think I am an OK photographer but I don't even come close to taking 1000 pictures per year that are exceptional and worthy of showing the world.
When someone submits 15 pictures of one subject, being a baby, car, air show, child or a bug, it only goes to prove that the one great shot they took was a lucky shot.
I think a lot of people use this site as their personal web site they can tell all their friends to look at their pictures on their own site. I do not believe this is the purpose of this site. If it is, I will gladly leave. There is no reason to put 200 pictures on a week or a month, let alone a day.

I have only posted 120 or so pics since I joined this summer. And there have been more than a few occasions where within a few minutes, my material was knocked back to page 10 because someone else posted 200 stock photos or postcards.

I'm lucky if I post one image a day let alone a week which is a bit of an extreme lol....but I totally agree if you're going to post a image make sure it's one of the good one's.

This has been brought up before and even by myself so I agree with you 100 percent if it was not for the groups I belong to I would have left this site all together.
I do not use the main page anymore unless it is sorted surely 4 images a day is enough and they would get a comment rather than just ignored.
