... My Idea ...

I think we should have a dedicated Lens Flair Hall of Fame thread. Basically you can only have your photo put here if it's voted by 5 regular members (Say members with 250+ posts)

Why ? There has been some out of this world photos posted in the Lens Flair thread that are now lost amongst the 8 million odd pages of Lens Flair. It would be sweet to have a photo's only thread (No comments etc) of the best of Lens Flair.

C&C ?
 
Good idea :thumbsup:
 
I think its a great idea.
 
Aww still a looong way to go!
But yer on the right track there matey, im likinmg the idea!
Yeah im just a bit drunk so you can ignore this..post
:bangin:
 
Nice idea. :thumbsup:

1 problem I see. How do you want people to vote, while keeping the thread closed? :dunno:

I guess a lot of us (including me) are not professional photographes. Hence, it also might get a bit difficult, as 70% of the pictures in the lens flair are simply awesome for the avarage visitor.

What might be a good idea, is say have 1 thread per week(or per 2 weeks), where all the pictures from that week posted in the lens flair are collected, and people vote for the best (or best 3) picture(s). Winner picture(s) get into the hall of fame, which would be a sepearate, locked thread.

Just my 0.02$
 
Too complicated, all's you need to do is post in Lens Flair saying "pdanev that is a cool shot, I vote for it for Hall of Fame" for example, then Iben comes along and says "Yea, HofF for sure" etc etc until Renesis comes along and "Shut up. Your all banned." :lol:

If you look through Lens Flair you'll see that every now and then some photos get great recognition and praise and others simply slip by unnoticed even tho they maybe good shots.

I'd hope for it to be tough to get photos into the Hall of Fame, thus make it more rewarding for when people get in, and make us all better critics and in turn we can all improve as photographers ...
 
I'm not sure is phpbb supports it, but on some forum systems theres a option to rate a single post out of 5. That would be the simplest way in my view.

Slashdot as example :)
 
it needs to be harder to get into the HALL OF FAME though
if its only five votes thats not good enough
then its just the hall of oh thats kinda cool

i say 10 votes
but thats unrealistic
so maybe 7?

and this 250 posts thing = garbage
postcount does not equal photographic knowledge
i think there should be a prepoll vote for the PHOTONATORS
the guys that pic what go in the forum
top 5 ish
then those guys can ensure its good crap

and they wouldent be able to put their own pics on
another PHOTOBATOR would have to put em up if he thought they were good enough
just someideas
 
10 votes is a lot but I think it would prove that the photo is more worthy.

Drop the 250+ posts thing.

No need for extra threads or polls, Just try to keep this as simple as possible ?

Shall I open the hall of fame ?
 
I just thought of something to implement the voting system because just posting in the thread would be impossible to coordinate.

Most of you should know, I have a coppermine photogallery from lens flair pics on

http://www.xenonzone.net

it can support a voting system and maybe I'll build a pHpforum as well so people can discuss, I just need to gather all the pics and upload it, but if I get a green light from members, I'm on it.
 
okay... but now the problem is.... we need to find someone who saves all the pictures to date to send it to me
 
I saved mostly up to page 140. then the remaining 10 pages should be easily acquired.


(second agenda: trying to see how many post i have).

Oh i wish i can be in hall of fame, that'd be rad.
