RE: Torn - What To Upload

Well, in that case we have different understandings of the word "artist", I don't like to use it in a futile way.

RE: Torn - What To Upload

"It sounds crazy to me that Photography is considered by many people here not to be an art."

It can be art, of course it can, even aviation photography can be, but don't elude by calling yourself an artist, not every photographer is an artist.

If all the problems in the world would be as simple as yours... why don't you just upload what you like?

P.S. advice, don't pretend to be an artist, go with the flow, time will speak for you.

RE: A Thread To Prove The Screeners Are Fair

I really don't care that much about views, if I did I would have "imploded" a long time ago. But I'm not blind, I visit this website every single day, I see the kind of photos that are listed on the most popular section, and I'm not a machine, I have my own behave.

RE: A Thread To Prove The Screeners Are Fair

I don't agree with different upload times, that's a kind of getting "paranoiac" about it. What I don't agree also is the idea that good photos will be viewed, that's naif and in reality it doesn't work that way. Does this photo deserves 629 views? <center><font color="#EEEEEE" size="1" face="ARI...

If you have something to correct use the adequate solution, granted it's 100% correct.

I'm not saying to ban, rules are rules and in the future this should not be allowed, that's all. If I have respect for the rules so others should have.
