ha of cause i hope u guys dont sabo me in my thread. but please do pm me if u find anything not appropriate.
cause if no one point out to me, how would i know if i make a mistake out of carelessness?

Fully agree. That's the way to go instead of creating threads and threats, ranting and cursing and the blur "call for authorities". Guys, it's about communication. Misunderstandings from the title or description of a shooting is communication in the same way as discussing improvements and clarify misunderstandings. I do appreciate that one organizer takes a stand here and discusses the topic clearly. Hope others can follow.

haha. i am kinda glad u didnt slam me considering how agitated u sound previously. and i thank you for that.
as i have mentioned, i wouldnt be bother or might even rebuke if i think what u guys say do not make a point and i am right.
but after thinking, i am indeed careless on that part.

Yup , the chihuahua theme is very original. Very creative. :thumbsup:
Like you have said, we are all grown ups we ought to work together in a more mature fashion. I appreciate your forthcoming in terms of the comments we have.

Again, we are not against any of the organiser, as we did not mentioned any names here, but with the title of the theme. (although that may lead to people finding out the organiser, at the least the damage isn't that bad :angel

All in all, we hope that CS is a good place for all photographic related entities to relate with...

The root of the "sleaze" issue lies with Organizers I feel. It is easy to see what kind of crowd and customers they catering to by their way of marketing.

But it's free market as some of you mentioned, only can PM moderator/admin stuff if you feel some posts has gone over the line.

Thanks ILoveBeaches for coming out and explain, you're brave and its so easy to get misunderstood if you dont. More Organizers should come out and speak their mind on this issue too, otherwise it will look like "I only care about the munni and the safety of the XMMs" and with little thoughts to the bigger picture, like the reputation of CS and other photographers, at least for me.

Must be alot more responsible, CS is not only for people to share stuff about P&P, but it also consists of landscapes, macros, sports and so on, and many other CS members there might not even know that a SLEAZE theme is slowly being attached to them, just because of irresponsible GWC.

tKL is political. this isn't its just prudish behavoir. while yes i applaud you for wanting to take the moral high ground, you're just beating the same horse without any good points to back up your argument aside from the old think of the children war cry.

what other new points can anyone have?

who made you the "moral police police"? if you want to argue about beating dead horses, go take a look at the newbie corner.. loads of people beating dead horses there. no need to pick on lunas, he hardly beats dead horses.

the irony of the pot calling the kettle black. everytime someone beats this horse, you beat your own dead horse. the best part is you also agree, and you end up beating the dead horse alongside everyone else. so what do you want? to appear non-prudish while joining in? sorry partner, you can't have it both ways.

 

[night86mare]

like i said. i should care about CS' image because? no offense to the mods and admin but many of the truly talented people have grown apathetic to what happens here because of how the actions of the few in this community have given this place a big fat black eye.

that's purely your point of view.

there are still many, many talented people who are not apathetic to whatever happens here. and since when did having "talent" mean that one had a greater say?

octarine -

let me ask you. who are the people going for these shots? not the people who take offense at the titling, the quality.

as far as i'm sure that organisers are good people, the money buys the heart. if i don't even attend such shots in the first place, what makes you think that my say will be even considered? and obviously, the people who pay money to attend couldn't be bothered!

the cleanup has already started, so lets not start a war of words that is counter productive to the issue

Yes it has started, thanks to some of the mods who are working behind the scene to PM the organisers and take the time and effort to go through each thread.

I grow with CS. Cs is the place I started with photography. There are many helpful people out there who has answered many of my questions, that has made me successful in photography. And I feel that CS is a good avenue for people to learn about photography just like I do.

My intention has no monetary terms attached, just feeling a bit displeased by what the forum has become...

Also without the support of the "pro photographers that are truly knowledgeable ones" CS may not be able to survive for long...Competition from forum to forum is just a click away from each other..of course I can simply leave and join photo.net. But I feel that as a Singaporean where CS is the place for Singaporean photographers to interact, I want to keep that as the "pure" foundation of CS and not let it be deviated by the minority.

It's time for a Change. And "Yes, we can!"

CS started as a photographic community for all liked minded photographers to share and grow their passion for photography.

This episode shows that if one is determine (from Razor in his earlier thread to lunas the TS) and speak for and with the community from their heart. The Admins will surely listen and take in good suggestions, afterall they build this community for all of us to share theirs and our passion with no string attached.


With this I think we can close this thread. And please, anyone can report any "offensive or sleaziness" in any of the photo shoots for the mods or Admins to take action.

In the meantime we have been informed by the Admins that they are working on further improvements and clean up of the photoshoot sections

Have a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year
