GAME RULES - SHORT VERSION:
- Comment two photos on pool pages 1 to 3 with the star comment code below, and fave them. (Well, it's called "FaveMe!" ;-)
- Post a link to the 2 photos you have awarded and faved in the "I have faved" thread!
- Post one photo to the group pool
- Invite one top class photo of your choice to the pool.
Photos with at least three (3) group star comments (see below) before they reach page 4 of the pool are allowed to stay in the pool. And only those.
Be aware! This game can be wicked! Deleting photos that are invited to lots of invite-only groups is an everyday routine for the admins of this group. Choose photos which create the immediate gut reaction in other viewers for admission to this group, or your photo is not likely to make it! The majority of photos posted here will not make it.
RULES for each photo posted to this group:
COMMENT AND FAVE TWO PHOTOS ON PAGES 1 TO 3 ...
INVITE 1 GREAT PHOTO ..

Search for the 2 photos you personally find to be the best on pages 1 to 3 from the group pool.

PHOTO REMOVAL POLICY
If your photo doesn't receive at least three (3) FaveMe group comments before it reaches page 4 of our photo pool then your photo will be removed from the pool. Meaning only quality photos with minimum three stars will remain. Please give the FaveMe group comments to great photos so that we can keep the best in the pool.
What do you do BEFORE you post a photo to this pool?
- You have a look at the photos on the three first pages in the pool, and you choose the two photos you think are the greatest. You then give these photos a fave and copy and paste the comment code above into the comment field of that photo. You are encouraged to add a comment explaining why you think this photo is the best among all the great candidates in this pool as well.
INVITE CODE:
Search Flickr for a great photo to invite. Invite that photo using the code below between the lines below:
I invite you to add this great picture to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/faveme/">FaveMe!</a> Photo Game Group. (Please read the rules, obligatory commenting and faveing involved!)
Ten or more FaveMe group comments?! Congrats!
Be proud and post this SuperFaveMe! photo to the Super FaveMe! group.
You are naturally allowed to fave and give FaveMe comments to more than two photos in the pool and in the threads if you want to - also when you're not submitting a photo to the pool, of course.
NOTE: This is a game. Cheating (i.e. deleting a photo before it's reached page 4 and reposting it into the pool to get three stars) is NOT allowed, and will result in the photo being removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Also, reposting photos that have reached page 4 with three or more FaveMe comments to get more faves is frowned upon, and is NOT allowed! Getting the Congrats! comment from one of the FaveMe admin's is a mark of honour, not an encouragement to repost your photo for a fistful of faves.
All photos are going to the review queue first to be approved!
People found not posting two comments for each photo posted will first receive a warning. Repeat offenders will be banned - no excuses accepted. Blocking an admin will also get you banned. If you want to be part of this group, you have to accept the messages correcting your mistakes.
In order for this group to work, we're all dependent on people playing it by the rules. This means that you MUST give at least TWO faves and FaveMe group comments to photos on pages 1-3 in the pool for EACH photo you post.
This will be a very strict rule from now on.
If you think following the rules is too time consuming or against your general philosophy that's fine - but it also means this isn't the group for you.
