Rules are good only if they correspond to interests of the community.
Discuss and propose any rules in this thread.
Currently here are no rules except global ones.
I propose one rule though: shocking content is prohibited as long as it does not serve artistic intentions.
No.131
Also banners if you want them.
No.133
Shocking content is ill defined. If we're going to pick and choose which images are allowed the rules for those must be very, very clearly defined.

One thread of gearfaggotry and one for posting snapshits max. (to let out all the steam)

>>134 nailed it.
>>>>Spoilered 18+ content.No need in prohibiting it, it just should be overspoiled.
>>134>One thread of gearfaggotryI was thinking a bit differently: one thread for purely technical basic questions about currently produced gear.
But I do not think anything else should be incapsulated in this thread. Medium and large format? It is fine. Rangefinders? They are fine. Discussion of non-basic technical terms? It is fine.
Just not a dozen of 24-105 vs 50mm or 70D vs 700D threads.
>and one for posting snapshits max. (to let out all the steam)I think that it should be the recommendation, not the rule.

If we're still in the process of shaping the community here if like to suggest avoiding memes when people are seeking critique. Not "no fun allowed" levels of behavior but Hopefully this /p/ can be a bit more mature than the other and actually provide suggestions for why you might not like something other than "fuck ur mum m8 it's shit".
Also I agree about having one gearfag thread and one technical help thread.
No.158
Also, any preferences about maximum/minimum file size/image resolution?
I never understood what the big deal was with that back on halfchan's /p/, but I browsed it once on my phone and this faggot uploaded a 12 MP image. Then it hit me.
Maybe some sort of script is in order to resize the image to a specified width/height before it's downloaded to a mobile?

No rules. The more rules the worse this place gets.
Stop trying to tailor places based on what you like or don't like.
I don't like trips but others do. It would be stupid to ban something simply because I don't like it.
Stop trying to control other people.
Fuck all of you.
No.272
>>271>Fuck all of you.May I be an exception please? I do not want to be fucked in any possible way despite many suggest that I should.
Could you at least allow us to have the rule about "only one current consumer gear thread"?
The worst thing is not that you are serious but that you wont return here to read my reply.
>>155>If we're still in the process of shaping the community here if like to suggest avoiding memes when people are seeking critique. I do not get it. How memes affect the C&C? There is no need in restricting the way of comunication in any way. Why?
- Because people should express themselves well to get what they want and ignore what they do not want if it appeared despite their efforts.
- Because people might want to discuss something without clear invintation from OP, it is a discussion board in first place and I do not remember any rules about prohibiting off-topic on any site I visited recently (not off-board like /pol/ activity in /sci/).
Richness of discussion is of better value than friendlyness of information representation.
- Because it is already restricted by the fact that most people are still on 4chan and won't get here.
No.273
>>271>>272That escalated quicky.
Any thoughts on (re)posting content found on the webs that's not ours? Obviously specifying credit where it's due.
Off topic, I do think we might need some advertising. Are we even 6 on the board?
I generally just lurk, got used with being b& on halfchan.
No.282
Is it possible to get EXIF embedded in posts like on halfchan?
No.284
>>282It sure is and isn't too complex but it requires a bit of PHP coding and knowledge of board structure ("infinity" to be exact).
No.298
I really dislike threads like BEST CELL PHONE PICS. Seems like this only encourages any schmuck with a phone to think that whatever piss they shoot on their phone merits posting / discussion. Shouldn't this be a more quality-oriented board? Instead of gear-oriented? i.e. what the shit does it matter what you used to take the picture with?
No.299
>>298I genuinely believe those threads are started by shills, convincing blebs to buy their new shitphoneS, with 41 megapickles and interpolated slow-mo because that's what matters, right?
Check-in: winter came back here and I just finished reassembling an 85-210
what was that about gearfaggotry?; hopefully I can find something to shoot before it all goes grey.
No.300
>>298>i.e. what the shit does it matter what you used to take the picture with?I like this question, I love to ask it in this kind of threads.
But I still feel that it is an exagerration to introduce rules about cell phone threads - it is like there is not a single one here. The one about "old cellphone pics" is not related to what you discuss.
>>299>I genuinely believe those threads are started by shills, convincing blebs to buy their new shitphoneS, with 41 megapickles and interpolated slow-mo because that's what matters, right?Well, Nokia 1" and 1/1.5" sensors are quite reasonable. I was using camera with 1/1.5" sensor for quite long time and do not regret it. DR is also bigger than one of my camera. Nokia also produces RAW files.
Megapixels are just a bonus.
I also did not see any shilling in these threads, just pics and phone models, not from single brand also. Are you serious?

>>300Not talking about fullchan's /p/, there's hardly even posters.
Talking about how at some point on 4ch they managed to creep in, homologous to Chloe threads on /b/.
Also, on 8ch's /b/ I definitely saw a thread about iphone's camera vs a bridge. Good thing they didn't find us here.
No.306
>>304Lol.
So: you mentioned the barrier which makes all limiting rules useless.
It is also easy to fix possible problems: make very short FAQ where there is something like this: "what is better, canon or nikon - the one which fits your needs better", "phone vs bridge - what better fits your needs" etc. A short piece of text which makes people think that this is not the place for their questions.
No.307
>>306Maybe those discussions can be a separate gearfaggotry thread?
Also, I suggest we have a DIY thread with a bunch of cool projects and documentation.
I am about to make a pinhole camera and am looking to create some kind of home-made film. I have little idea as to what I'm doing so far.

But not one thread for all hear.

I do not like to see 5+ threads about gear news. But I don't think putting in the general gear thread is just. Maybe a biweekly news wrap up?

I think that EXIF data display is in the new infinity-dev project. Not sure if the current tinyboard fork can do that or not.

I have 4 photo threads on this board right now.
There's just no reason to waste time making the 5th.
The guy who took over this board from the original owner was plenty cocky about "making it awesome" but it's clearly not going to happen.
It's a shame too because I was sick to death of halfchan /p/ and had high hopes for this.

Problem with 'making it awesome' is that it takes more than one person to have a conversation.

Exactly.
That's why I thought it was cocky of him to make such a statement.
He didn't have a problem talking shit about the original board owner but he clearly can't do a better job himself.
