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.

Or they could be made to categorize their images. Mark them for storage purposes, or for sharing with the community.

Enough people are complaining about it that as a group, we have a legit gripe.

I think Terrence Howard put it best

"Every one of us is an artist, and as an artist, you really can stroll into any venue that you want, as long as you take your time to learn the etiquette of that venue".

The only way it will ever get fixed is if the community squawks about it enough.

But, not all of us feel it is broken and there is the maxim, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Yesterday I had to wade through 200 crap images posted by the same person before reaching something worth a comment. Its the same every day. TIME FOR A CHANGE.

I suggested to Ryan, who seems to be the head honcho of this site, that downloads be separated. Either select download for storage only or download for sharing with the community. There are a million and one different ways you could make this work. It seems like a good way to allow both types of members to be happy. At least to me, but I am no site administrator. I can only hope that I have a doable idea.
