Posting Guideline Update

All postings to this group must be original content taken by the poster. Any content that you did not take yourself will not be allowed unless you have permission by the original owner and give credit in the notes.

This is not just the policy of this group but also part of Ipernity's Terms of Service to all members of Ipernity.

From TOS:
3.4f Upload, post, e-mail, or otherwise transmit any Content that infringes any
patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of
any party.

6.2 Be reminded that both the illicit exchange of protected works and
recordings, and their pirating seriously damage the artistic work. You also
acknowledge that the non-respect of laws in force, notably those protecting the
intellectual and artistic property, could lead to prosecutions and sentences.

It is the policy of this group to enforce these guidelines. Any content that you do not specifically have the right to copy and/or reproduce will be removed without notice.

Basically, IF YOU DID NOT TAKE IT, DON'T POST IT HERE

While it is this groups intent not to allow postings that do not belong the poster, it is practically very difficult to tell if a poster was the owner of the image or not. Sometimes it is very easy to tell with a "photo by" still on a image. Sometimes you may recognize the image from having seen it in another group by a different member or from a different photo sharing site.

If you see any image posted here that belong to someone other than the poster, please notify this groups admins and that image will be removed. Repeat violators of this policy will be removed from the group.

I am confused. Many of the photos I see on the first page do not meet the theme of the group as you have described it. Some don't even show a person, and many show people standing still, or walking in the street.

The original idea for this group was simply to show people in movement. That would include those of people simply walking. The pool started filling up with mainly candid street shots of women (to many groups like this already). When I eliminated all the people walking from the group back a few months ago and screening posts I wasn't getting very many new posts at all. So now my thinking is that the people just need to show that they are doing something other than walking. They could be posing for a photo or taking the photo, picking something up, showing movement with blur like hiking, fishing, or carrying something. At least "Doing" something. I have let a few in that would indicate motion by the structure of the elements in the image like descending stairs or diagonal line elements. Primarily to introduce a little variety and letting a photographer stretch the boundaries of the guidelines.

I know that this is still not very clear but I am trying to find a different set without being overly restrictive.
