Photo reform

I propose that we set some sort of rules for the photos.

Suggestions (just suggestions):

Uploaded images not automatically be submitted to the front page.

No uploading images For <50 post members.

Perhaps we can have a field to specifically request a photo be submitted for approval for the front page?



Edit: Less than! Less than!

that sounds good to me.. i mean, i love seeing trees and stuff up there, but, you know

Also, 50,000,000 pictures for ebay auctions...

Ahem.

No uploading images For >50 post members.

I think you mean <50 (less than 50) post member... Why shouldn't long standing members be able to upload?

I like the idea of the member saying whether they want the image on the front page or not... Would probably stop silly things being posted to the front page like e.g.

50,000,000 pictures for ebay auctions...

There is nothing wrong with a member posting pics of what he's trying to sell here at Techimo, but do they really belong on the Techimo home page or in the Gallery under most recent posts?

I like to check the Gallery several times a day for pics of our members or pics of subjects interesting to our members. I'm not really interested in seeing pics of articles that someone has for sale in the Gallery. They belong only in the thread where the member is selling these articles.

I don't know how hard this would be to accomplish and it's just IMHO.

Well instead of a checkbox for front page, how about a checkbox for 'Do not display in Gallery' ??
That way its available for him in his private gallery for him to get the URL's for his posts, but doesn't clog up the gallery?

I like the idea! I don't want to flame dragon slayer, but his pics are kinda annoying. Nothing personal man, I'm not aiming at you. I know you can't really help it. Perhaps though with the box you wouldn't have to take all the guff from other members.

I agree, people seem to upload the oddest things...from pictures of the outdoors, to pics of family vacations to pics of walls, etc. Alot of these could be hosted by web hosting sites and not use up space here. I think a few of the people here just want to have the most images uploaded. Since alot of the pics they upload have nothing to do with this site...maybe change it to unless it is related to this site or a post you need the image in, it shouldn't be uploaded? I don't know...the way it is now is crazy!

As a <50 post member, I have a couple questions about images on this site:

A: Can anyone direct me to a resource that explains the rules for posting images?
B: Is there a way to attach more than one image to a post?

Basically I wanted to contribute to this thread:

http://www.techimo.com/forum/showthr...ight=morrowind

I am wondering what are the protocols for posting pics and if it is possible to post more than 1pic per post.

Thanks.

edit - after looking around a bit i have come to the conclusion it is only possible to attach 1 pic/post... sorry for going OT with those questions...

Do you have a website? Those all look like they are hosting them theirselves.
If you want to upload to the techimo gallery (links up at the top of the forum index page) just go to the gallery and select my gallery and then upload photos. A mod will either approve them or not. We do not allow any kind of obscene pictures to be uploaded. PM me if you have a problem
