The bits of rules mentioned in this thread are a summary of the original rules on the forum. The rules here are described in more detail towards the section and towards other specific things that apply here. The original forum rules can be found HERE.

Feedback/Criticism

When providing feedback or any type of criticism towards someones work refrain from blatantly flaming them or telling them their work sucks. Its better if you use the sandwich technique where you provide a positive about their work, followed by a negative, and closed off with another positive.

Flaming or Trolling of any kind is not tolerated, as it is not throughout the forum.

Photography is like any kind of art. People get better at it with time. You can choose to help them along the way, or shut them down without reason.

“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”
