Your City, a Few Photos at a Time

[Chadillaccc]

I thought this would be a nice idea for a thread. It eliminates the pretentiousness (of which I've also been guilty) of posting 50-60 photos in one comment and allows everyone to be able to enjoy the pics without having to scroll through hundreds just on one page of a thread.


I'll start it off with three of my most recent captures of Calgary...

kwoldtimer is not the creator of the thread and is thus not really entitled to state the rules for it. Moreover, kwoldtimer did not state the rules; he asked a question about them:

The actual creator of the thread stated a "few" photos at a time and everyone has been following that ever since.

Without rules, "a few" means nothing. I could post 10 pictures and say that only represents a few but it would still be too much. As a matter of fact, the only ones who haven't followed the 3 picture trend/rule are yourself and Chad. What's the purpose of creating a new thread for less pictures if there aren't any guidelines?

Are we seriously having this conversation?

No one has posted 10 photos (or anything remotely close to that number). The most photos posted in one thread has been four (and on one occasion five). Thus, everyone has been adhering to the guidelines and spirit of the thread. Therefore, you are complaining about a problem that does not even exist.

But there are guidelines. They were stated clearly in the thread title, and everyone has been adhering to them. Has anyone begun posting 10 photos (or anything remotely close to that number) and violating the spirit of the thread? No. So what is your issue?

Exactly. And as creator of the thread, Chad is the one who defines its guidelines. His posting four photos in one thread twice should be clear enough evidence for you that posting three or four photos is perfectly consistent with the intention of the thread's creator.

Now, if you cannot restrict your worries to actual problems (as opposed to non-existent, hypothetical ones), and you cannot sleep at night when someone posts four photos instead of your preferred number of three, then why don't you create your own thread where no one is allowed to post anymore than three photos, if that will make you feel better?

Pretty much exactly. That's the point of the title.

But 3 photos still seems a good idea to me.

It is. And most users have picked up on it.

I like the idea of this thread, I don't find the other one pretentious - though sometimes it's more like a collection of photo essays - but often the page is unnavigable with a ridiculous amount of high resolution photos.

I can dig it.
