Every now and then, you see a photo on Flickr and think,"Damn! I wish I'd taken that!" Those are the shots we want to see.
When inviting photographs, members should not only be thinking "Damn! I wish I'd taken that!" but also "Damn! That's a HIGH QUALITY shot!"

Please review.

An over view of our rules here at Damn!!
While they are written in a humorous manner, they are very real and to be taken seriously. A few of our uptight members might find this to be an insult or outright outrageous, but it is only meant to lighten up the fact that there are rules everyone needs to follow.

Posting
Only post your Damn!! photos that have been invited with an official DAMN invitation (if you don't know what that looks like read the rules!) and before you ask, NO awards don't count as invitations so don't post a picture if someone gave you one instead of an invite.
Give your awards at the time you post your picture to the queue. Don't wait until it appears in the pool
If you post uninvited photos:
----They will be removed quickly and automatically by one of our admin team.
----You will be kicked, this does not mean you are banned from the group, Don't think you are that special, it happens 50 times a day, at least. It is a measure we take to ensure you realize what you have done. By rejoining the group you acknowledge your inferiority and promise to pay homage to the all knowing overlords.
----If you post an uninvited photo, get kicked, rejoin and post another uninvited photo you will be banned.
----You can be assured no matter how many nasty letters and threats you send, it will not get you back in. Begging, chocolate, and beer will be accepted with no promises of allowing you to return to the DAMN! kingdom.

Nudity
No Nudity - (including artistic). We want to be family friendly.
---Send them instead to Simon.Stickel (female pictures)

Re-Posting
NO Damn!! re-posting of images to get more Damn!! awards.
---If found you will be sent by FM one of our group form nasty grams and kicked from the group.
---If you make the overlords work overtime by having to do this more than 1 time you will be banished from the DAMN! kingdom.

Manipulation, Editing, etc.
Images that are 'made' do not fit into this group's accepted content.
Heavy manipulated images, mosaics and collages while they can be beautiful they are 'made' and not 'taken', therefore do not fit in this group. Images created with Maya or other 3d rendering software, while they may look real, are "made" and not "taken," also do not fit in this group.

No illustrations, mosaics, collages and images that have very heavy manipulation even if they are invited. Heavy manipulation does not mean no Photoshop but rather, no adding elements that weren't in the original image, all the elements must be photographic and original to the scene.
----If one of the all knowing overlords deems your image to be one of the above, it will be removed from the pool and you will be sent by FM one of our group form nasty grams.
----If you make the overlords work overtime by having to do this more than 1 time you will be banished from the DAMN! kingdom.

Extraordinary Image threads
We have a 5+ And 10+ award thread. The images in this Damn!! thread are exceptional and deserve to be there. Do not post your Damn!! photo unless it has the required amount. Would you want an inferior image of grandmas Damn!! HDR, sunset with a kitten at Christmas taking attention away from your once in a lifetime picture of the Dalai Lama levitating? No, you would not. So stick to the Damn!! rules!
----If you carelessly make a mistake you will be sent by FM one of our group form nasty grams.
----If you make the overlords work overtime by having to do this more than 1 time you will be banished from the DAMN! kingdom.

10+ Blog Thread
You can post in this thread once you have reached 10+ awards. Every week, on Sunday evening, is your final posting opportunity to make it into the weeks Damn!! Blog. We review this thread and make sure all the images have the required awards. You cannot post in this thread thinking you can sneak into the blog without notice. We personally check this thread periodically throughout the week and every Sunday night, before our Damn!! BlogMaster blogs the Damn!! Blog on Monday.
----If you carelessly make a mistake you will be sent by FM one of our group form nasty grams.
----If you make the overlords work overtime by having to do this more than 1 time you will be banished from the DAMN! kingdom.

Blocking
Blocking any Damn!! Administrator or Damn!! Moderator in our group will result in a ban from the Damn!! Kingdom.
----If the urge is too strong for you to resist, please be sure to first notify the admin/mod with one of your own dandy nasty grams so they can enjoy reciprocal blocking
