Pictures Section

A thread here is a better place I believe to discuss this :

 

Maybe the admins could make a sticky "Read me first" post about how people should first post in the right thread if it fits (like street photography open thread for this one, could be stickied as well so it's easy to find) ) and avoid starting a new subject every time they want to share a single image?

 

If it was a project or collection, why not, but a single picture is not worth a new thread really it just clutters the section IMHO.

I don't believe that this is true in general. Shared threads are fine as long as you don't want to discuss a picture because any serious discussion will be interrupted by other pictures and posts. So you end up in a neatly ordered structure full of cluttered threads.

That is a good point you make.

 

Still I'm not sure what people want exactly when they open a thread for a single picture. Is constructive criticism open? If yes it is worth opening that thread imo or it would clutter the open thread as you rightly pointed. If not and only "likes" and "nice picture" comments are welcome, it is my opinion it does not warrant its own thread.

 

In the end the admins will decide, just thought I'd bring up that point.

We made good experience in other communities with this procedure:

 

- Default is „One Thread for One Image (or series)“ - open to discuss the image

- If you want to start an open thread you add a keyword like - uhm - „Open Thread“. In German it's JEKAMI - Jeder Kann Mitmachen (Everyone's invited to participate)

 

OK?
