Being hounded by another photographer

[tenplanescrashing]

Some websites have a policy that all photos are subject to critique. When a subscriber creates an account at them, they agree to that policy. I have no idea what the policy is at the website Barry is referring to. Regardless of the policy, online bullying should never be permitted.

Correct, nearly all of the photography sites i've been apart of had an open critique rule if you posted a photo unless you stated "no critiques" for whatever reason. This is the only forum where the rules are different.

You shouldn't. That's uncalled for and crosses the line from being helpful to bullying. Report the person and let the mods/admins handle it.

I did and the Mods did nothing

Not surprised at that occurring over there...

but sometimes I am overly fatuous for my own good.

Glad you are here at the cafe, but I would have about 50 hands if I counted the number of times we were accused of over-moderating, and maybe 50 more for being accused of under moderating. Fortunately, we are able to be hands off 99.99% of the time.

Thanks all for understanding and support. Really appreciated

Good reason to leave the site.

That's an indication that you're doing just the right amount of moderation.

If someone on a forum said to me " Hey, have you tried doing this, may help" to me is helpful

However this is what I was getting from him quote" If you EVER understood the main concept of photography, then perhaps one day you might understand " unquote. Virtually every photo I posted was like this or worse.


This was the last "attack" which did it for me. Really trying to put me down every time over a very very long time.

Why should I have to put up with this constant harrassing? well I had enough.

Just out of curiosity, what was the forum where this occurred? Just so as we can all avoid it.

I would suggest that Barry drop you a note, I am moderately certain about which site, (but not completely certain,) and the team here would prefer to not get into a comparison or discussion on the relative merits of one location vs another.

After all, a large group of us left dpr way back in 2005 because of the Wild West nature of that site at that particular time. (I offer no thoughts or - statements on that site at all in it’s current format, or on any other sites.). There are currently good and bad sites in my humble opinion and the team would prefer the membership to not actively list or rate any site as a specific place to avoid.

(private conversations have their place)

+ comments and + suggestions on good buying experiences, nice web sites etc, are always permitted, however, within reason.

I don't think it is ethical to mention other sites on any forum so I won't say
