Joz, it was to those who were upset by it....

I asked for the rule to be clarified because I didn't know exactly what it meant... whether it meant photos like she ele posted ( which she didn't take herself, but was a personal photo with her in it) or whether it applied more broadly to than that to any photo a family member/someone in the same house has taken.

 

This is the first challenge with the new rule and I thought it best to ask now, before someone makes a fuss AFTER the winning photos have been declared.

 

Besides that ,I think it was joono that raised the issue in a post a week or so ago, asking others if they thought posters should be allowed to post photos taken by someone other than themselves in the photo challenge thread, most of the replies to that was no, they prefer it to be posters own photos only.

The rules changed though. I think the participants of the past threads should have some say in that. Otherwise a lot of them may not bother posting photos again as it is not what it started out to be and the thread will fizzle out.

but there are so many posters who are now getting right into the whole photography thing, experimineting with different effects etc and expanding their exopertise etc - this brings them joy, contentment and their own opersonal challenges iykwim.

It's a shame you have to ask in every photo thread, there always seems to be a problem. Can't people just take photos and post them without a major drama? There are small children hungry somewhere...and cats without homes.

Definitely kudos worthy 🙂

Oops had to revoke, the kudos was for the pre-edit version.

I think just about anyone who has posted a pic (in recent weeks) that wasn't their own has said so. There have been a couple of times when this hasn't been so but I think that has been a genuine oversight. The rule hasn't changed insofar as the winning pic must be the posters own work. The rule has been altered to allow other pics that the person really really really wants to share to be posted. These haven't been many in number.

 

I guess whats always at the back of my mind is this is a public board. At the end of the day I have no ownership and no physical control whatsoever on what gets posted on the threads. I have to rely on the community to conduct themselves within the sprit of the challenge.

 

And now I'm going to have nightmares about starving homeless cats
