Can we get a rule about posts asking for "whycome my camera does _________________ (problem) that they be accompanied by a photo of said problem?

Makes it hard for internet camera engineers to guess what the issue is without one.

How angry would you get at me if I made a thread for critiquing posts in the non critique thread?

Sorry if this has been asked before - I quickly searched the thread for some keywords and didn't find anything.

How would people feel about having a thread for local people to find each other. I'm mostly over in AI now, where there's a few different threads for different parts of the world. I've been meeting up with the New England AI people and it's been a lot of fun.

I was thinking of doing it like how TCC does (did?) it. I met some cool people from there years ago. We'd have one local thread everyone posts in something like this.

Name: OSP
Location: Boston MA
Shoots: Film, Digital, Digital Video
Equipment: SLR (Minolta) DSLR (Sony)
Interested in: Geeking out. Buying cheap equipment. Finding someone with a darkroom.

Just to clarify re: posting new threads.

If you have an idea for a thread and it's not like rules-bending or something, just post it. If it's good, it'll thrive. If not:

1) It will languish on page 2 with the Olympus thread
2) It might become the new Best Thread
3) If it's terrible I'll just no-probation-gas it or lock it

So really it's not that huge of a risk, there's no reason you have to check with me first (although you can if you want).

I mostly asked because I didn't know if it had been discussed / tried before.

I'll make a thread as soon as I make up a decent OP.

Did that, sorta. I still feel that people should be familiar with the rules of a thread that has existed for quite a while longer than Dorkroom even has, and has always had the same rule.

Where did this color/black and white photography thread come from? They seem to overlap other threads in the forum entirely. I don't particularly care whether it stays or goes, but I am curious behind the thought process that created the threads.

I made the color one as a joke after the B&W one, and SOMEONE reopened it after I closed it

Can we make an elite bling thread where we can only post images shot through Leitz/Zeiss glass? I feel like we need a safe place to talk about our custom soft-touch shutter releases made out of melted down Nazi gold.

Less dumb than the "post every b&w pic on your flickr" or the "post every color pic on your flickr" threads.

e. is voigtlander cool enough to fit in?

e2. we can call it "no poors allowed: the good pics thread" or "rule 36 is bannable here: good pics by cool people"

Because most forums are filled with idiot bitch fuckers, unlike the cool persons that post in this subforum?
