About Pay it Forward - Explore A Photostream
IDEA:
The idea is to pay forward the exploration and appreciation of stranger's photostream. From the book and film of the same name. I'd like for us to really surprise people and make them feel honoured and special :D
HOW?
1. Find a totally random stranger's photostream and explore it - DO NOT USE THIS POOL TO FIND YOUR RANDOM PERSON, OTHERWISE IT ISN'T RANDOM AND IT ISN'T A SURPRISE!
2. Leave three USEFUL comments on any PHOTOS
3. Use the invitation code below to invite those THREE photos to the pool
4. It isn't enough to just use the code, please tell them why you like their photo, why it caught your eye.
5. Re-read number 1. Do not use the group to find someone - it has to be random or else it's not a surprise. Don't worry if you later happen to notice that your random person is a member of the group, good for them! Just remember that the group isn't the way to find your random stranger.
WHY?
Why not? Paying it forward is a lovely idea and a great surprise for the recipient.
ONLY THREE / WHY THREE?
Three is from the 'Pay It Forward' philosophy so you only need to comment on three. You may, of course comment on as many as you like, but please only add the invitation code to three photos as only three invited photos are allowed in the pool per week.
ONLY PHOTOS?
Currently this group accepts photos, screenshots, art and illustrations.
CAN I FAVOURITE ANY OF THEIR PHOTOS?
Go for it! That would be lovely.
IS THAT IT?
Yup, just pay it forward.
HOW WILL THEY KNOW?
Use the invitation code below on three of the comments you make so they know why you have found their photostream and made the comments.
WHAT GOES IN THE POOL?
The pool will become a trophy cabinet for those people who have had their photostream explored and shows just how many people pay it forward!
WOW I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO POST THREE PHOTOS HERE, WHAT DO I DO?
Congratulations! Post them and pay it forward!
I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO POST MORE THAN THREE PHOTOS BY THE SAME PERSON, WHICH DO I POST?
Wow, congratulations! Just post the three you like the most.
I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO POST MY PHOTOS BUT THEY ARE NOW IN A QUEUE, WHY?
This is so that we can ensure all items in the group follow the roles, e.g. invited, safe, etc.
MAY I COMMENT ON PHOTOS IN THE POOL?
Yes, of course you may, that would be lovely. BUT that is not the reason for the group - the reason for the group is for you to comment on photos in people's photostreams THAT ARE NOT in the group, and to invite them to post those pictures to the group.
ABOUT THIS GROUP:
This is family and work friendly group, please be nice and follow the rules or you will be banned - once is a mistake, twice is trying my patience and third time is a ban without notice. Please do not invite or post photos that do not follow these rules.
