Scott M Duncan is a group moderator Scott M Duncan says:

Okay here is the breakdown.
First, you need one of these to post to the group

Your photo has been appraised as a Platinum Photograph
We would be honored to have your photo in our group!
Please tag your photo with platinumphoto
(Questions?) (Rules)

After which, you may recieve these

Platinum Photography Stars
Your Platinum Photo has earned a Platinum Star!
Collect 6 stars to enter
Photo of the Weekcontests!
(Questions?) (Rules)


These next two stars come from an Admin or Moderator
They work like the normal star, but if you get one or more of these, you can post your picture in the Leaders choice thread!

Platinum Photography Stars
Your Platinum Photo has earned an Leaders Choice Platinum Star!
Collect 6 total stars to enter Photo of the Weekcontests!
You can enter the leaders choice thread with this star!
(Questions?) (Rules)


HOW TO: Post photographs in a group discussion thread


Now, if you recieve 6 total stars AFTER the invite, you are eligible for the photo of the week contest. The winner gets the front page for a week and admission to Superstars of Platinum Phototgraphy which is a step up group for those whose photos get 6 or more stars. Stars are the key to the group, so give em, get em, and have fun!

You need the invite and 6 stars to enter the photo of the week contest.

Admin and Mod stars count as a star towards the total of five

Bottom line, stars can make your photo a front page star, so give em out, and you just may get em back!

When someone sends you an invite that is only partially the invite code, does the photo you post get deleted by the sweeper?

For example, I received the following invitation (no spinning image):

Please tag your photo with platinumphoto

speech path girl  Pro User  says:

I just wanted to mention that I don't think it's very fair to not count additional invites as a star. I know to delete my photos from the 'request invite' thread once they've been invited (and I follow that rule), but sometimes I've received that second invite before I knew I'd gotten the first one. It seems harsh to rob me of an award just because I didn't check back often enough (I have a life outside of Flickr, you know), or because someone else didn't bother to copy 'n paste the other comment code.

Anthony le Bourlier  Pro User  says:

I don't see why we have to delete the photo from "invite"
if we were invited, well cool !

but maybe would be better to focus on something else than so many (too much) rules ? as ... make photos for exemple ?

ArtByChrysti  Pro User  says:

Joe ---

If noone deleted their photos, that thread would eventually become pages & pages long, and equivilent to a second pool. People who did choose to follow the rules, wouldn't have a fair chance with their own images. It's a rule that takes someone 2 seconds to follow... and a standard rule amoung flickr groups.

Besides, whats the point of leaving your photo in the 'need an invite' thread if it was invited? Wouldn't you want a chance to collect stars and enter contests? If you have enough time to add it to the group, you have time to delete it from the thread too.

If someone doesn't care for the rule... then it's as simple as not posting in the invite thread :-) You never have to worry then!

Groups with no rules on flickr don't tend to do well... groups with structure, tend to have high quality images, and active participants... they are in place for a reason... the beauty of it all is.. we have a choice as to what groups suit our needs/desires and what don't!

I'd love to have more time to focus on photography, and if people keep following the rules... myself, the other mods, and other members will :-)

I sent the mail to Scott M Duncan with the question - Why my photo was delited from the group? No answer. Now I repeat it. There was an invitation but I've got a stupid message from the admin "Your photo was removed from Platinum Superstars as it is a strict invite only group ". Why stupid? Because I never was a memeber of Superstars and my photo was delited from *Platinum Photography. So, WHY it was delited? Hope I will get the answer.
That is my photo

Scott M Duncan is a group moderator Scott M Duncan says:

Kuzdra, sorry for no response, I get dozens of emails liek yours each day. There was a glitch in the sweeper, and it was issuing the wrong removal comment. Responding to every email would be impossible. When someone posts an improper code (which is what happened with your photo) the sweeper does not see it. I will put a proper invite in your stream and I hope you understand. Feel free to repost.

themeowy,

Many many people use improper codes. The reason extra invites don't count is that many people pick up several in the want an invite thread. May not be what happened in your case, but it has to be that way, or the contest would become completely unmanageable.

This pool abounds in underexposed sunsets and mundane pics and wondering if admins do any quality control here?....sorry this sounds harsh and not admins fault and partialy my own for not paying attention, i just presumed u had great pics here but hard pressed to choose if catchy colours is a better choice on average...sorry

If you do receive four stars we also have another thread to post for "needed stars" once awarded six stars then you can advance.
