We noticed that you already posted all these images before here and here.
Honestly we don't remember you doing it before, and I am sure you must have your reasons to do so, but we would appreciate if you didn't do that in our community.
Reused images are not the type of content we want to support and see here.Hello @coloneljethro.
Are you saying we can't post B&Ws if we've already posted the color shots? I'm confused as fuck. I posted them before, in color, and then a couple days later went back and picked out the ones I liked best and converted them to black and white and edited them some more. If that counts as reusing I'll not do it again, but I did it because I thought we were treating them as separate edits/images.@monochromes
Some people do some people don't (treating them as separate edits/images).
I've seen users being tackled for doing it before and getting in trouble, so I decided to try to avoid having such type of content in the community.
Gotcha. Back when you were trying to wrangle everyone into posting in the community you'd told me it was acceptable (I was worried this would happen), was still operating on that guidance and was very confused.
That was a few moons ago.
It was acceptable. I did it myself while still posting from my main account and never saw any problem with it, as it indeed involves a completely different edit process.
I don't have to agree with it, but it became the Hive community consensus I guess.
It was. How has it been four plus years already?
Okay, just wanted to make sure you understood why it happened.
Lol, I missed that part but the same thing happened when single image posts became persona non grata.
The community account was created on February 2020.
Monomad is running since 2017/18. It started on that other chain we shall not name, lol.
The Hive ecosystem keeps evolving and so does what's acceptable/supported or not.
As a photographer the single images never bothered me at all either, as I understand what's behind a good photograph, but curation projects have another point of view regarding that, and regarding the type of content they want to see and reward in Hive. It was a necessary change and adaptation.
Besides that, single image posts are normally published by spammers/farmers.
Not saying there are not some good photographers doing it too here and there, but unfortunately that's the exception and not the rule.
