About Street Aesthetic: UnCensored

This does not mean pornographically uncensored folks. It means when you submit your photo to the pool, you will get uncensored critique comments on your precious work of art. If your fragile ego can't handle a few inane, unintelligible, misinformed and otherwise stupid remarks, this may not be the group for you. Likewise, if you can't handle someone pointing out that you're a douche who knows fuck all about street photography when you call their magnum-esque photo a "snapshot", you might wanna look elsewhere for a place waste away your lunch hour on the internet.

I'm assuming by now that the majority of you will know how this game works already. But for the n00bs...

Heres the rules:

1. Pet the chickens on the way in
2. One photo per day
3. You have to vote on every photo in the pool at the time you submit your photo
4. Please don't post your photo in other voting/comment50/sparklygifview-whore pools when you post here. This upsets the chickens, and you know what happens when you upset the chickens.
5. Pet your admins on the way out. They like that kinda thing

How you vote:

The tags are saveit and deleteit

Yes, the idea is to give constructive critique here. But lets face it, the idiots are funny. Feel free to be honest about how someones ill-composed, horribly lit, artfaggy piece of crap snapshot isn't worth the folio. Don't worry, this is an uncensored group so you don't have to be that nice when you say it. Be sure to tag with your comment. If you are the first to vote the photo down, add the tag ‘deleteit’. If someone else has already added that tag, you should add one that follows it, labeled in numerical order: ‘deleteit,’ ‘deleteit2,’ ‘deleteit3,’ and so on. If its already got 10 votes, theres no need to vote again, unless you're feeling especially sadistic. Same thing goes for if, by some miracle, its actually a really great photo. Tag it and bag it with a nice flowery comment and a tag of 'saveit'.

While general douchebagginess is tolerated while voting, certain actions will result in having your photo pulled from the pool by the admins and their trusty chickens. For example:

1. Don't delete tags or comments while your photo is still in the pool.
2. No matter what they said about your mum, don't block members while your photo is in the pool. Your photo will be removed (though we may sick the chickens on the offending party if it suits our fancy).


And yeah, these rulez were stolen from another group. Whatchugonnadoabouddit?
