About Guess Where Brisbane?

(This description is lifted almost verbatim from the Guess Where
London? group.)

THE GAME:
Post a photo of a Brisbane location and the other members will try to guess where it is. The idea is to provide entertainment to yourself and others, but to lose gracefully in the end, like a crossword setter.

RULES / ETIQUETTE
• Apparently we actually need to spell this out: NO GEOTAGGED PHOTOS. Feel free to tag your photos after they have been guessed.

• The pool is for unguessed photos only. Once your photo has been guessed, you should remove it promptly. Please post a record of it in the You Guessed Me thread - follow the easy instructions at the top of the thread. If you do not remove guessed photos promptly, the admins will post a reminder comment, and then remove them from the group. You might also consider geotagging your guessed photo and sending it to the Guess Where Brisbane? You Guessed Me! group.

• If your photo remains unguessed for a while please also remove it from the pool and post a record of it. Go to the Graveyard of the Unguessed thread. Again, if your unguessed photos loiter too long in the pool the admins will post a reminder comment, and then remove them from the group.

• Please respond to people's guesses whether they are right or not. If comments go unanswered, your photo will be removed, so try not to post if you know you're off on holiday.

• Please offer clues after a few wrong guesses, or a few days' inactivity on your shot. These may be geographical, cryptic, or photographic (in the form of wider crops, adjacent buildings, etc) or any other form of clue.

WHAT NOT TO POST
• Iconic landmarks.

• Photos with no guessable content. There should be enough detail to pinpoint the photo to a unique location.

• Photos with location data in the tags, titles, captions, sets or groups, or visible in street signs or on buildings in the photo itself.

Any photos in these categories will be removed from the group immediately. Batches of photos including photos in these categories will also be removed, even if individual photos are appropriate. Examples of unacceptable photos can be found here.

ADDITIONAL STUFF
• Don’t worry unduly about whether your shot has made a prior appearance, although you might want to check the latest page or so of the You Guessed Me thread.

• Locations should be easily accessible to the general public. This can include paying locations such as theatres, museums and galleries.

• Colour or B/W images are welcomed. While graphical manipulation to improve image quality or framing is acceptable, photos that have been altered to present a view not found in real life will be removed from the pool. It is acceptable to obscure giveaway street signs or phone numbers, etc.

• Please DO NOT post your photo to any other comment groups (such as 123, I Want 5, 1 on 1, Delete Me) while it is still being guessed. Please post your photo to no more than 5 other groups while the photo is in the pool. You can add it to other groups AFTER it has been guessed and removed from the pool.

• If you guess a photo, please post one of your own for others to guess.

Most of all, have fun, and try to play the game with due consideration for other group members.
