 ID: 183878 Posts: 1174 | Date: 2007-05-20 11:58 I'm constantly dismayed at some of the photos submitted for review. Is there any
way we could reject the photos with a comment as to why we rejected it?
I'm letting stuff through that I wish I could say, "do it over and don't do..."
and explain what it is they are doing wrong.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try! |

 ID: 185806 Posts: 411 | Date: 2007-05-20 12:19 I have to agree with you Charles....the quality of some of the images is just
apalling but can we really hold that against someone that doesn't have a good
camera and can't find a photographer to do some tfp work with them??like I know
there is a reject reason of poor quality but a lot of the time if these people
are submitting these images they're the best they have, so I tend to let them
through....but even for other reject reasons it would be useful to have a part
that we could fill something in to say in a little more detail why it was
rejectedWe Don't Take Risks to Escape Life!!

 ID: 185837 Posts: 336 | Date: 2007-05-20 12:36 I think that for a starting model or photographer we cannot reject because the
photos themselves are of a less than perfect (or even poor quality). Sometimes
that is the best they have. It is more baffling, however, when absolutely
terrible pics are uploaded in a batch with some poor or OK quality ones. In such
cases it would be good to be able to advise skipping some of them  ***** Spring approaches and soon the fairies will awaken ***** |

 ID: 182744 Posts: 1738 | Date: 2007-05-21 02:11 I have been in politics a long time and before that at a print shop that did a
lot of political printing. One thing my bosses in both arenas always said: Don't
censor. The people have a right to know how dumb their elected officials are.
I can translate that to this arena. Don't censor. The people have a right to
know who produces garbage and who produces roses.
Were this an art gallery or showcase site I would say yes, have some quality
standards. But this is a public magazine where recruiting goes on. Photographers
need to have thorough insight into the models we are firing and models need to
know what a photographer considers to be their showcase pieces. We start
filtering and we start getting a false impression of both the people we are
hiring and the people doing the hiring.
Jurgita pays the bandwidth so I say, if some pictures bother you, leave the port
and go onto another. There are lots of beautiful images on this site. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

 ID: 194271 Posts: 156 | Date: 2007-05-21 04:18 Charles I agree with you, it seems to be more a trend between the younger models
to just sit in front of their webcam and to take a few images pulling funny
faces. Some is definitely not serious about the modeling issue. I have even seen
a few profiles more resembling a family album. Not just the models but some
photographers included. Talking about photographers, how many profiles do not
have any photo's at all, or one photo of the family dog. Not a very good way to
advertise your photographic skills(not that I have any, but at least I am
trying) Who and what is some of this people??? Do you guys/ladies not sometimes
also wonder. Dark thoughts here.
Regards
Deon. |

ID: 183878 Posts: 1174 | Date: 2007-05-21 06:40 I think everyone but Carib gets what I'm trying to say here.
I'm certainly not thinking of more censorship, but allowing a way of giving some
feedback on some of the poor quality photos that we aren't rejecting now because
they just do meet the criteria of the site, as well as some of those we do
reject for stated reasons.
As moderators we are required to reject low quality, low resolution pictures,
those that have copyright issues, pornography, incorrect group or category,
naked photos of those underage, etc. Apparently Jurgita does have standards and
the moderators have guidelines that are published in the articles section. Those
rejection reasons are supposed to be provided to the person submitting the
photos.
In the above regard, we are already censoring content on the website, and must
do so to be open to the general public of all ages. Sometimes, I suspect, to
protect the person from submitting a photo that will end up biting them in the
ass. For instance, a 14-year-old who submits a shot of her spread cheeks with a
thong while she is posing herself in the "doggie" position. Accept or reject?
Carib offers lots of advice to any questioner. I believe that's a good thing. As
best as I can tell, however, the majority of amateurs post their portfolios (or
no portfolios at all) without ever participating in the forums. Don't you feel,
sometimes, that many of them have potential and all they need is a little shove
in the right direction.
A comment box for moderators to use when rejecting, not as a requirement, but
available if the moderator feels a need to supplement the posted reason with a
question or suggestion.
I obviously err in favor of the submitters because I lose points when I let
something through that an administrator doesn't approve of.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!

Ah, Carib--
Professional photographer, Journalist, Editor, Politician, Raconteur,
Philosopher, Sex Therapist, and only 42. Never had an editor who picked or chose
who to let shine or wither in the glare of publicity.
We should split a bottle of rum someday, if you drink. Come to think of it, my
own alcohol capacity is somewhat diminished due to cutting back to almost zero,
so make that a couple of shots <G>.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!

 ID: 166375 Posts: 521 | Date: 2007-05-21 08:06 Being a moderator does not mean an adviser. We allow many photos which are very
bad, but its their photos and we may not edit them. If you want to make some
feedback for young photographers you can make some topics, write articles and so
on, but it would be not logical if you contact each of them with your help..
Sorry, but they usually feel if they already know everything. I think if the
person want to improve, he/she will search for help in forums or articles not
expecting the help will come itself.Love to Love |
