Hi Everyone :-) I wanted to leave a little note to say thanks so much for all the great comments and feedback! I really appreciate it and I am looking forward to hanging out in the Gallery ;-) I travel full time for work, and am trying to get a gallery up, but don't always have time for much more. So, I wanted to post a general note to everyone to say thanks for stopping by! :-) Cheers!
So, today I tried to upload 2 photos of my dog, in the PETS section. Because this is MY gallery and I want to be able to share photos of my dog. I've seen some pretty crappy "snapshots" on this site that have been allowed and posted as "art" when they are blurry CRAP. And quite frankly I am fed up. Because instead of having my images added to MY GALLERY under PETS, I got this message from some jackass:
Personal message from mayne [ 8/11/07 21:49 ]:
Scott, I have rejected your latest uploads under our snapshot policy. When an image has been rejected please do not try to upload it again in the future.
Thanks
HERE is my response:
let's just get something straight here. FIRST of all the image was approved originally and later removed because of some ignorant people. SECOND, the first time I uploaded it, I didn't realize there was a PETS section and I uploaded it in Animals. After I realized there was a pets section I figured that was the reason that the people that had a bee up their ***** was because I uploaded the file to animals instead of pets. I don't know what kind of shop you're running here, but maybe you'd better just REFUND the donation I made and I'll delete my images and account. Because quite frankly, I don't like what I'm seeing here. Either this is a place where people can share images or it's a nazi run **** site with closed minded *** holes. So, let's make that happen. REFUND my money. And I'll be outta here.

Unfortunately, I made a mistake and I misjudged this site as a respectable site. It's not. it's arbitrarily run by some ignorant people that don't know how to run a business. You can't allow one person to post utter TRASH, and stop another person from posting a QUALITY photo.
Why a so hard thread about two poor pets captures ?!?
Form Letter for Rejected Snapshots: 'Here at caedes.net we are interested in creating and sharing high quality images for use as desktop wallpaper. In order to make your desktop finding experience as efficient as possible we have instituted a number of policies intended to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the galleries. We feel "snapshot" type photographs are of little interest to most users of the website and do little to enlighten the artistic minded visitor. Therefore we have decided to discourage users from uploading such images. Your recent image upload was rejected for this reason.'
