About We Hate Flickr Notes
We are an advocacy group that wants Flickr to let us completely turn off the Notes feature on our photos.
What are Flickr Notes?
They are those rectangles that are placed on top of a photo with a caption underneath.
Why do we hate them?
1. Notes are a defacement of art. Imagine an art gallery where people could draw boxes and scribble remarks right onto the art, often just inane quips. What artist would accept such defacement?
2. Often, Notes don't add anything beyond what could be said in the Comments section.
3. They're visually distracting; they distract from the main message: the photo itself.
Can't people turn off the Notes feature?
No -- not completely. You can turn off the feature for your own photos. However, if you add those photos to a Flickr Group, anyone in that group can add a Note to it.
What do we want Flickr to do?
1. We want Flickr to respect the Privacy Settings for Notes when a photo is added to a group.
2. There should be a setting in our profiles that turns off the display of all Notes -- on our own and other's photos. (The Notes would still exist; it's just that we could chose not to see them.)
