Putting the foot down « on: November 02, 2021, 03:08:59 PM » Author: CreeRSW207
So a certain someone told me that some of my photos are possibly going to be deleted. This just pisses me off because one I think I do damn well taking these and my mom has been driving around on a broken foot. Meanwhile people are still displeased on good photos while some members are allowed to post about socks on SOX lamps when they’re grown adults!  My photos have taught members things and new members will probably learn from them as well as some of the fixtures and lamps are uncommon. So please, let the photos stay and the bullish!t end! Also, don’t bother to kick me for this. I’m only stating an opinion.

Deleting photos for a silly reason is like going to burn a house down because you simply didn’t like the looks of it.

Quite frankly I agree 100%. All I'm gonna say is something needs to change Before everything goes down toilet.

I totally agree! I was contemplating posting this but I knew it was the right thing to do, especially since it has gotten other members to come out and state their opinions. This can show just how we think of LG at the moment.

@ thelightingman - Can you give me an example of who has posted "perfect pictures" who end up having their photos deleted for no reason..? Don't forget that people are entitled to delete their own uploads for whatever reason they choose, a deletion doesn't always mean an admin has done it, indeed it's rarely done by us without discussion amongst the team first - we almost always try and remedy any problems with a member before a decision to remove a picture is taken.

The only time that a good quality picture gets removed is when the OP removes it themselves. And that is entirely up to them and has nothing to do with the admin team 'taking steps' to take pictures down.

The team are doing their very best to get things back on track.  Things have been veering off course for a long time and it's going to take a long time before they're sorted out.  Please, everyone give the admins a chance to do their work.  Let them fix one thing at a time, not the whole lot at once.  Trying to do that will mean that it will take them longer in the long run. [EDIT] When I was working my job was as a Business Administrator, and I know what can happen when things start to go wrong.  Unless you concentrate on one part of the problem at a time, you find yourself sinking even faster. Think of the situation as a leaky boat, you can either bail out the water or plug the hole. Try doing both at the same time, it can't be done.

Quote from: joseph_125 on November 03, 2021, 09:38:09 PM In years prior, I used to post mostly my collection stuff on here and post pictures of streetlights out in the wild on GoL instead since there was more interest in those pictures on GoL. Unfortunately GoL is pretty much inactive now with only a handful of members posting there. Otherwise I'd consider doing the same same. BTW, if you're interesting in seeing mostly older pre LED era streetlight pictures, I have a ton of them on my GoL gallery. (Link under my profile pic) I never did upload some of them here mainly because the upload limits would mean I would need to upload 10 a day for a month to get most of them over. Oh,and by the way, the site is not secure. I don't dare login to GoL without fear of getting hacked.

I joined here because I found it first. When I did find GoL it was all street lights, which isn't my interest.

Quote from: General street Lights Oh,and by the way, the site is not secure. I don't dare login to GoL without fear of getting hacked. That "not secure" stuff really means nothing .. its a forum & photo-gallery, not a site where you are buying stuff! Personally I prefer standard http sites (for stuff like forums). Eliminates all the compatibility issues that https crap causes with older systems. At this point I plan to continue my streetlight gallery on GOL. No plans for any more here.

As far as I know all the https does for a forum is make it harder for the bots to access the site.  At least that's my understanding of the reason.
