Upload mania - or quality?
« on: March 28, 2015, 07:31:29 AM »
Good morning, may I ask the management of this site:

Why is it necessary to upload tons of fotofiles of one vessel, (and is this a privilege of the admins.)

Example?

GRAND BENELUX - IMO 9227900
116 photos in the database, beginning in 2006 (!).
Last upload of SIX photos by Alex Lindstr

Parts of your analysis seems to assume that the site is one album.  It is not.  It is a collection of albums from individual members.

Provided a member complies with Site Standards, the number of pics uploaded for one vessel to his/her album is a matter for the member.

Many members have their own policies about using a range of locations and angles for a vessel.  Many self delete earlier uploads when a better pic is obtained for the vessel

I see no reason why one member should be restricted by the decisions of other members.

Best regards
Clyde

Hi Peter.

If you do not like this, I recommend you to look for another site. The people you've commented on, they have made this site great and popular.
And Aleksi, keep the photo's comming.

If you end your post with this
"Awaiting your "shitstorm" i am looking now for a safe harbour. Smiley"
It is not a serious comment, just a post to upset a few people.
again.

just delete this topic and prevent another endless, pointless discussion.

have a nice weekend

Stan

PHa, you did not read the rules,reckon.Although some members have more than 30,40 or more of the same ship which is not correct what I think.There are some limitation according the rules.
Regarding your questions and suggestions:
1.If photos already exist in database nobody else could show his photos.
2.Imagine how many members we got here!
3.One photo per ship is not according the rules.

Regards
