In any community of thousands of people, there are going to be some people who don't like some other people, who in turn probably don't like the first group of people and who neither group likes the activities of the other. Of these thousands of people everyone?s motive for participating here, is different and how each one of us uses the site, is different. What we put into and take out of the site, is different. The photoSIG community will never be so homogenous that everyone will agree on all of the finer points of photoSIG etiquette, how critiques should be written, how many should be written or anything else, and it's impossible for us to create policies and guidelines for every possible situation. Let's say that there's somebody on photoSIG that you don't like and/or you don't like how they are participating in the site. You can handle it one of two ways. 1. You can look through the person's critiques or photos for examples of wrongdoing, call attention to the person's misdeeds in the forums. You can make sure you rush to hand out the red thumb critiques and unhelpful ratings you are sure they deserve for whatever they have done to offend your sensibilities. This behaviour will get you on the fast track to the banned list. We simply will not tolerate continued assaults by users against others. If you have had a couple of warnings from us already, beware, our patience for this is very thin and suspensions are in your future. 2. You can act like the mature adult that you presumably are and ignore the other person. Or, if you feel that the person is violating the Terms of Use or is otherwise causing problems, you can report the person to admin. This is the only course of action that is consistent with the atmosphere that we want to promote on photoSIG. 99.9 % of the problems on photoSIG are people problems, not software problems.
