About Rules (No Photos or Discussions Allowed!)

This group offers relief to photographers who no longer have time to take pictures because they are spending all their time commenting on other people's photos and giving out awards and invitations.

The primary benefit of this group is that our rules are so restrictive that our members are not allowed to post photos here or participate in our discussions.

Your photo does not qualify to be posted to this group, but you can join as long as you agree not to participate.

PLEASE READ OUR RULES
You'll be glad you did!

1. No photos or videos that do not meet these rules may be posted in any group in flickr.

2. Photos or videos posted here may not be in your photostream.

3. If you break these rules, you must comment on every photo in this group. If you break these rules a second time, you must comment and fav all photos in flickr.

4. You are required to spend all your time participating in this group's discussion, even if no discussions are present. If you start a discussion topic, the Dictator or an Enforcer will delete the topic and put a curse on you.

5. If you join this group (why would you?) you must send at least one new rule to the group's dictator. Your rule may be added here.

6. If you somehow beat all known laws of physics and manage to get a photo placed in the group pool, you must immediately Fav every odd numbered image posed in every third Photostream on Flickr. You then must comment on every fifth image in every second even numbered Photostream on Flickr. Then alternately bribe every other odd then even image, beginning with the first oddly numbered Photostream after the third second even-numbered Photostream you commented on to vote for the Presidential candidate of their choice. This bribery should come from an overseas PayPal account, and only in even numbered, non-sequential, odd denomination currency of Zimbabwe.

7. No Whining. No Complaining, No Moaning, and most of all, No writing to the Dictator if someone comments on your images. You posted them here so, take what comments you get - especially if it's a nice comment...

8. See rule 1.1. What? No rule 1.1 posted? Well then, you just better be safe and act like you know what rule 1.1 covers.

9. No photographs taken with a mechanical device will be allowed. All photos must be natural and taken without the use of cameras.

10. Use of any type of image software, even to convert RAW to JPEG/TIFF is not allowed in this group.

11. An exception is made for photos taken February 29th. You may post up to 29 of these as long as they are remarkably similar.

12. Participation in this group must be exclusive. Once you join, you may no longer participate in any other group. That would be like cheating on your spouse.

13. This group has no 13th rule. Skipping 13 is a world-wide rule and we respect rules no matter what.

14. No portrait or landscape format images.

15. You must use this warning when commenting on the pool's images.

16. You are exempt from the rules of all other groups. Feel free to post as many images at a time as you please and do not comment on other photos in those groups, send out invitations, or give awards. After all, there is only one set of legitimate rules and you are reading them right now.

17. You must use our Invite/Award Code to lure in potential Followers:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is obvious by the quality of this photo that you are an exceptional photographer and that you should spend as much time as possible behind your camera. Commenting on other peoples photos, giving out awards, and sending invitations to join a group is a waste of your talent. Good news: there is a flickr group whose rules are so restrictive that you will not be permitted to post any photo or even make comments. Please check out The Rules Group and get back the time you need for your photography.

18. No positive or negative comments are allowed in this group!

Failure to comply will result in your color photos being converted to negative color.

19. No photographs which have been in or around Explore can be added to the pool.

20. Invited photos only. No one may invite any one or any photo to this group.
