Hey, "Polsteam" ! Do you really have to be SO rude and start here, to assuming things which you for sure can't prove
I think this is least to be said UNFAIR to all admins who are doing their job in the freetime !!!!
Although I am not involved in this case, I think before you are getting that low, and writing nasty things, you should contact one of the senior admins, I'd say Clyde - and talk the issue.
The usual procedure is, that one admin is looking through the categories, then shifting the photo to the "for deletion" category, where a second admin is looking at the photos !! What I know is, that most admins are deciding in favour of the member, not against members and playing "god" on the forum. No, that not at all !!!
In that case I'd say, that photo has a good right to stay, it's a bow-shot and not insulting any of the rules given in FAQ.
I'll forward this to Clyde who is a very experienced and objective administrator.
Meanwhile, I ask you to keep the discussion objective as well and refrain from ranting in a sensless and emotional way !!
Here the FAQ:
SITE STANDARDS THAT APPLY TO ALL PHOTOS
1. Resolution (image size) must be between 1024 x 768 pixels and 4000 x 4000 pixels.
2. File size maximum is 4000 KB
3. Photos must be sharp and correctly exposed.
4. No silhouettes will be accepted
5. Full ships only. Foreground obstructions must not restrict the view of the ship. For side views, bows or sterns must not be cropped off. Bow and stern shots may be acceptable if they show the vessel from the waterline to the top of the superstructure.
6. The ship must be the main subject. Distant views and shots where the ship is a small part of the image may be considered for deletion. Members should understand the limitations of their camera.
7. If posting multiple photos, the angle must change by a minimum of 30 degrees between photos.
8. The horizon must be level. If not, use free Picasa (see FAQ) or other photo manipulation software.
9. The date and location for the photo must be included in the description.
10. When uploading, members must comply with copyright law. Post only photographs for which you have copyright ownership. Other people's slides or negatives can only be used if their name and permission is stated in the description. No scans of ship photographs from publications are allowed.
