Flickr Code v.1

view profile

c r i s  Pro User  says:

THIS IS THE FLICKR CODE v.1

It is just a fun 'insider' way to let other Flickr'ers know how bad you have Flickritis!
I'm sure there are more things a person could add, and if more come up enough they can be added to future versions.

I cannot take sole credit for parts of this. I am always willing to hear any suggestions you may have. Remember that + and – do not literally mean positive and negative. They are just ways to denote various meanings. I hope all this is used in the fun spirit it is intended!

If you like this idea, please put it in your profile and link back to this thread so others can not only decode yours, but figure out their own code.

( <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/flickraddicts/discuss/72057594068198831/">Flickr Code</a> )

My Flickr Code – F6 l c f+++! g+ m++ s(e)

F1 - I think my friend has a Flickr account.
F2 - I have an account, but my icon is still the default gray face.
F3 - I have a personalized icon, and just started uploading photos.
F4 - I've got plenty of photos and they are even organized into sets.
F5 - I broke down and bought a Pro account to better organize my photos. I've added my photos to some pools. I even check out some of the group forums.
F6 - I have had several photos make it to the Most Interesting Explore page. I check Flick daily.
F7 - My photos frequently can be found on teh Most Interesting Explore page. I browse Flickr several times a day.
F8 - I've tried to figure out a way to make money posting photos and moderating groups on Flickr. I would ask Flickr on a date if I could.
F9 - Flickr rules my life! I always have Flickr going in the background. I upload photos at least weekly. I sleep with my camera cradled gently next to me. My significant other had to talk me out of naming a child or pet "Flickr". And I'm ok with that.

Contact List
l++ I have 500 to 1000 or more contacts on my list
l+ I have 250 to 499 contacts on my list
l I have 1 to 249 contacts on my list (possibly only friends or people I know in real life)
l- I only made a profile so I could comment on others photos
l-- I don't add people as contacts

Camera
c++ I have a top of the line camera and all the gadgets that go along with photography
c+ I have a good quality camera but only a few gadgets that I can afford
c my camera is average, but it works well for me.
c- I don't need fancy electronics. I prefer the good quality cameras that have been around for a while
c-- I prefer to do all my photo taking and developing by hand. I'm a purist when it comes to photography

Favorites
f+++ I easily have 1000 or more favorited photos
f++ I have 500 to 999 favorite photos
f+ I have 250 to 499 favorite photos
f I have 1 to 249 favorited photos
f- I only made a profile so I could comment on others photos
f-- I don’t favorite other people’s photos.

Groups
g++ I belong to numerous group pools and leave comments. I am the Admin for many groups and have even started a group or two of my own
g+ I belong to many group pools and regularly leave comments. I even am the Admin for only 1 or 2 groups
g I read and comment in various groups
g- I belong to the groups, but I don’t leaves comments in them
g-- I don’t belong to any groups

Comments

m+ I frequently leave comments for photos
m I occasionally leave a comment if the photo catches my eye
m- I rarely leave a comment. It might only be because I knew the photographer
m-- I don't leave comments and could care less if anyone left comments on my photos


ADD-ONs

s(__) Maybe you have a style of photograph you prefer or prefer taking. You can designate so with the following. Add the letter(s) to signify a style or styles you prefer. I'm sure there are many more than the few I'm listing. If it's not listed feel free to write in the whole word (exam. Squircle would be s(sq))

bw black and white
mc macro
p portrait
l landscape
sq squircle
a abstract
ms mosaic
xxx private
lm lomography
e everything – any photo all styles

You can add any of these letters/symbols to better customize your code.

/ Perhaps you're not quite ready to consider yourself F9, but you aren't exactly F8 either. You could list yourself as F8/F9. For anything that you feel you fall in between two options.

? Maybe you aren't sure if you fit into the category, but you are interested in it. Perhaps, you might not consider yourself to fit into the category, but if you asked anyone they'd agree. (Exam. My friends think I'm a comment whore. :-) m++?)

! Perhaps you have one category that appeals to you the most. For example, you enjoy Flickr, but you REALLY enjoy reading group postings. You could denote it as such (Exam. g!)

To smallcommabig :

You have 250 to 499 favorite photos and for those favorites if they are macro you comment, also Flickr rules your life! You always have Flickr going in the background. Upload photos at least weekly. Sleep with your camera cradled gently next to you. Your significant other had to talk you out of naming a child or pet "Flickr". And you'r ok with that.

if you don't see a macro you don't leave comments and could care less if anyone left comments on your photos.

I think you need an F code for "so addicted I may loose my job since I spend hours each day looking at all of the wonderful photos"!!! And maybe a C code for "I had to break down and buy a digital camera just so I could easily upload my photos"!!! I fit into both of these. LOL!
