Please read the following newly-added rule:
Low Quality Posts. Replies that add little to a post (examples are posts solely consisting of comments such as: "Great Shot" or "Wow!") are fine, as we all like to lend support to other member's photos and postings. However, when these posts occur in blasts (flooding), or when they make up a significant percentage of the member's overall posting habits, moderators may take action ranging from post deletion or ban. (revision 6/12/10)
Low quality posts affect the overall quality of the forum's content, and our reputation as an organization.
None of you here should be worried or hesitant to make short posts that only say "Amazing photo!" or "Great news!". Such posts show support and acknowledgment to the previous poster. However, the flooding of the forums with these to where there are a dozen made within an hour, or two dozen in a day, cannot be allowed and is considered to create an annoying environment.
No one wants to log-in to see that there is one person that made the last 15 replies to every active thread, and did so with no more than a three-word reply. We've had one temporary ban initiated recently as a result.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if the rule requires any clarification or revision.
Thank you all!
