and you pointed your camera at things and made it go click.

Well done you.

careful

your B3ta hypocrisy meter should have told you that this is a-ok. Stand down and get ready to wittily swipe at a new person for the same crime along with the thronging hordes.

HappyToast Groat froth, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:23, archived)

Friends liking their friends images

is hardly hypocrisy toasty. It's just human nature.
Also, Kk posts lots of stuff she's drawn, which I think makes people more tolerant of the occasional photo. Well, some people anyway.
Yeah, plus this person has contributed sweet fuck all except this pissy piece of criticsm.

(

mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:26, archived)

no, I'm not knocking friends liking stuff

just the fact that Rob has "RPS is shit" written on the posting page, people know not to post unshopped stuff and yet when regulars do it (not picking on KK in particular at all) it gets a pat on the back.
But the same patters, will shout at a new person in the blink of an eye for doing the same thing.

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:29, archived)

Uh, maybe it's because I'm a regular

so people know I don't come on here posting photos all the time. I almost never do. And there are plenty of people who post photos (new and regular) who don't get flamed. So don't say you're not picking on me.

(

Killerkitti Like my coffee black, just like my metal, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:32, archived)

I am NOT picking on you

I am pointing out to sanityclause the hypocritical nature of the site.
Have I actually replied to your thread saying don't do this myself?
As the great michael winner has been known to say, calm down dear ~~it's only an advert~~

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:34, archived)

I'm perfectly calm.

I am just pointing out the fact that any time I post a photo, you jump in and say something. That's all.

(

Killerkitti Like my coffee black, just like my metal, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:35, archived)

nonsense

this is quite possibly the first time I've ever done it! And again, I was not saying anything about YOUR picture, I was talking to sanityclause.

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:36, archived)

Okay.

Whatever you say.

(

Killerkitti Like my coffee black, just like my metal, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:37, archived)

Sorry Kk,

Didn't actually mean to have a _proper_ go (as some of your defendants have alleged), just hastily posted a bit of a snitty remark against an un-photoshopped photo. No offence meant, I just remember the days when Sundays on the board were full of sixth-form photo projects of decaying wooden doors and trees silhouetted against sunsets.

(

sanityclause is waiting until, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:40, archived)

It's alright.

None taken.

(

Killerkitti Like my coffee black, just like my metal, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:42, archived)

I hear you

but to address your last point about n00bs, I do think there's more leeway given to people in terms of what they post if they've already posted lots of pics they've made, as in the case of Kk.
As for Rob's "RPS is shit": there was a time when Sundays were just a board full of dodgy sunsets. Rob made his feelings about it clear, and now it's changed. There has been at least one completely unshopped photo frontpaged, so they can't be completely frowned upon.

I'm sure some people would argue it was very funny. But it doesn't sound it :D

(

HappyToast Groat froth, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:44, archived)

I wondered at the time

if the "Unshopped" claim was just a joke, but I don't think it was. I also wondered (and I wasn't alone in this) if it was the posters own picture, but the mods are usually pretty sharp about that stuff, and if something gets missed someone here will have seen it and will point it out, jaded crowd what we are.
In fairness too I think it may have been funnier than my description of it makes it sound.

I hear you

(

mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:42, archived)

I think that photos are more accepted if they're amusing.

This is just a picture of a field. Fair enough if she's happy with it and wants to show it off, that's easily done by chucking a link or a picture in an existing thread.
It doesn't have to be a new thread and potentially push off work that someone has spent hours on.

For what it's worth

I at least partially agree with you, but it's really not such a big deal once in a while is it? My main point here is that she's a good regular contributor and the person initially being pissy to her is not. In fact I don't think I've ever seen them contribute anything before this.

(

mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:57, archived)

I see what you mean, but I don't like it when this site treats people differently depending on who they are, rather than what they do.

It's not something I'll often make a big deal of, but I can't see why they can't go in an existing thread. Everyone will still see it.

(

my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 20:00, archived)

The treating differently thing

is just human nature I think. After all, friends are effectively just people who we treat differently to strangers.

Yes, that's true.

actually, yes, I has an idea, hopefully I won't get stabbed to death by the local chavs ("He's not from here and he's not on fire!" etc...) :)

there's quite a bit of scenic crap nearby tho I suspect anything decent will end up on flickr, which I don't thinkI registered at actually

This sort of post (the original) warrants a reply along the lines of

"why am I looking at a picture of your dog"

Ive just come back from a week long trip to the middle of scotland with my camera, but Im not going to post the pics here because while I mostly post hand drawn images on the board I dont think people would like them taking up space.

Im not saying people should flame the regulars who post an occasional picture, but likewise you cant have a go at someone who does

I think you have made a valid point

(

Cocodaye Miasere likes chips and peas, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 19:30, archived)

I see a lot of stuff on these boards which I

consider absolute shite.

For the most part however, I don't say anything and move on, due to the fact that I don't contribute an awful lot to these boards beyond typing things.

Now, due to the fact that I have contributed a fair few hundred more pictures than you have, and still manage to keep this in mind, I don't think it's a lot to ask.

But then again, tis up to you.

It just looks like a field

also the perspective is wrong as its pointing too far down, making the field look like its sloping upwards (if it is, then you should be able to make it look like it isnt)

try getting lower to the ground when taking the shot, and if you can get something interesting in the foreground then so much the better
