About Accidental Controversy

Have you ever posted a picture on a Flickr group only to have it removed for reasons you could never have foreseen by moderators? If so, this is the group for you - we want those pictures which caused so much unintentional trouble.

BUT... only if it was unintentional trouble. Nothing disgusting or offensive here, please. This is a group for innocents - people who bumble along through life (and Flickr), not reading the small print, and then feeling a little embarrassed when everything goes wrong. It's not a group for people who love causing intentional catastrophes, putting on Bulgarian Noise-Core anthems when grandma's visiting, having obscue parts of the genito-utuary system tattooed on their forearms, or that kind of thing. We're after pictures from people who included only camera gear in the "What's In Your Bag" group, or that 7-Up can in the "Dr Pepper" Group for example - not people who put a snap of a rotting bear carcas in "Fairy Cakes of the Rich and Famous". (I made that last group up.) Ironically, if it's anything intentionally controversial, I'll remove it. (And if you put it in by accident, I guess I may then have to put it back in again...)

Just for the record, I've never had one of my own photos removed from any group - it's just that I've been browsing recently and it seems it happens a lot.
