Hi all,
I think it’s time to explain the bases of Scramble and this forum cause people are miscommunicating a lot lot lately. I’m only reading nagging and nagging but no-one explains why.
First of all, i don’t give a f*ck what is see at the Scramble forum, i check what i like and i skip what i don’t like but lately i only find bashing and nagging and „MISScommunication” almost every topic i open.
Scramble is all about movements and reporting unusual stuff. A topic named 14-12-2010 EHAM Schiphol will be checked for rare movement or visitors. (That is the purpose of that topic title) If someone is looking into that topic and finds pictures of regulars they are likely to react like ("Boring zzzz”, „Nothing to see here” or whatever harsh kinda feeling comment) because the pictures are not created in the right topic. There is nothing wrong with the pictures but you could translate the comment like „nothing to see here” as follows:
"Hey, that’s strange, i opened this topic of Amsterdam to check the unusual stuff present today but all i saw was some shots of all the regulars at Schiphol. That is not where this topic title is for. They should use another one instead. This is so totally NOT interesting as unusual or rare, in-fact this happens a lot lately. Oh well, i just write „nothing to see here” and maybe they get the message.
or
"=censored=, i post a rare visitor and no-one comments on this but instead i find all the regulars clogging up the topic, why don’t they just call the topic „Regulars at Schiphol Photo testing or LARGE photo post” What happened to the good old days people just used the correct topics for their messages? ==> 1 day later „Good lord, the topic exploded with all kinds of great pictures of planes and my post of that rare visitor just vanished in the constant waterfall of cool pictures. Oh well, i just remove my post and try another day.”
At the moment a lot of people think „ Hey this is the photo forum (correct) so i can post my shots here" (also correct/-use the right topicname) There are a few rules which sometimes get thrown in by the old school guys but maybe the new guys don’t really understand why it is that every time people start posting pictures, some are yelling "Boring” or whatever not expected comment.
Topics like "Airshow 17-7-2007 EHVK Volkel” or other NON regular topics (
) never have these problems because everyone understand the purpose of that topic title!!
"Ah, my pictures of the open days, i can post them in this topic, wow a lot of great or not so great shots, i hope someone comments on mine”
I hope this makes a few things more clear cause i just want to read fun stuff and look at pictures.
Greetz,
p.s. I am just using some examples here, nothing to do with who-ever posted it in the past.
It's so easy... Leave the "EHAM Schiphol 12-12-2010" topic for the spotter kind of shots, like rare stuff and make a more specific one for shots like we see the last few months.
which is also a big part of 'creating' an image, and not making. But who doesn't do that ocassionally?
