Re: Photo Competition 52
 

There has been a small change to the competition rules so please read them:D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I still don’t have a link to use to upload.

If I email my pics to you like last time, would you please place them for me?

Thank you!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I dont have one either:(......WHY NOT????

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

It’s discrimination that’s what it is.

Have some consolation in the form of Karma.

It would be nice to be consoled also.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Try it now - I think I may have fixed it.

:)

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

oh cheers jambutty:thankya:

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

yehhh i got me upload button!!:p, cheers len;):alright:

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Yeee Ha!:)

I’ve got an “Upload Photos” link too.

Thanks to the gremlin that has turned over a new leaf.:cool:

Cheers panther.:hothothot

Now where’s those photos?

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

The interest in these photo competitions is so great that people are falling over themselves TO KEEP AWAY.

Just 3 votes far and one of them is mine for Crossy42’s “Balloon festival”.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Few people vote until the download deadline has passed- logical

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

The more votes that are placed the more it is likely to encourage others to vote.

I had a look to see how things were going and with only two votes cast to date, the thought crossed my mind, “What is the point of voting if no one else is?”

And you can always change your vote if you want to at the last minute.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I never vote till uploading is finished but I do vote:)

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

me too, I always vote and nearly always enter.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I prefer to vote when uploads have closed...... its not fair to vote for someones pic then change your mind

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Why not? When you vote, you vote on which is the best at that time.

Then if something better comes along you get the opportunity to change your mind.

Maybe the rules should be changed slightly?

Remove the ability to change your vote or better still do not allow voting to start until after posting is closed AND remove the ability to change your mind.

As it is now a person can vote and that then shows them how many votes each photo has received. Thus it gives you the chance to vote again for your friend if their vote total is less than the current leader.

What if your friend has two pictures in the gallery and because it is your friend you want to vote for one of their pictures. But which one? So you vote for picture “A” and then find out that picture “B” has the same number of votes as someone else’s picture who is the current leader. So you cancel your vote and put it for picture “B” and your friend wins.

Of course no one would ever do that. Would they? Yeh! Right!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Well, you might do that but I wouldn't.
I vote for the picture that I like the most...regardless of who posted it.......and I haven't ever changed my vote.
After all it isn't as if there is a huge prize at stake.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Is there actually anything on this forum that you are happy with ?

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Jambutty, it seems as if everything is a 'war' to you......you take something which is supposed to be for fun and turn it into something else....and not only that you infer that we all operate in devious ways.
it is time you saw someone about your paranoia.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

If you think that highlighting an anomaly in the rules is starting a war then I am lost for words.

One thing that I do know is people. And one thing that I do know about people is that given the opportunity people WILL take a pecuniary advantage over their fellow man/woman and then swear black and blue that “it wasn’t me guv. I don’t do that sort of thing.”

I’m not suggesting that any one particular person does rig the voting. But I am saying that it is possible and people being people there are bound to be some who do. So close the loophole.

Ah! Yet another psychological report from a self proclaimed shrink.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Jambutty, you are never lost for words, as the above post proves.
And as far as pointing out flaws in the rules...if you think the rules are flawed then you can locate a moderator and put it to them,(for the consideration of perhaps being changed) and also, if you think the rules are flawed...you need not enter the competition.
I don't particularly like the aspersions you cast over the members of this forum...we aren't all the same......you may not like some of us, but there is no need to lump us all in the same category.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Spot on Margaret, JB is allowed to cast aspersions on us, thinks we are going to flout the rules! He can insult peoples intelligence, and ethics, doesn't just post his opinions, but carries on and on ad infinitum about why he is right and everyone else is wrong..

JB... when I came back to this forum, not long ago, I actually thought people may have been picking on you a little, but having read through your endless diatribe, I'm beginning to see it for what it is. Quite honestly I see YOU as the bully. :(

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

What a load of rubbish to infer that we all vote for our friends photos. I always have and always will vote for the photo that I like best. As for changing my vote so a friend of mine will win, not a chance. It is a bit of fun!!!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Ahem ... here goes ... :hidewall:

I do understand where Jambutty is coming from and agree with every word he has said so far. The only problem is that it is just fun and not worthy of such eloquent criticisms. There are instances sure where people vote for friends, but this competition is mainly what floats your boat and how you relate to it ... not technical at all. Who at the end is going to win Hyndburn Honeys or the Baby Competition ? .. probably those with the biggest families !
Don't think this always applies to our little friendly competition though. Well, I haven't got a large family or many friends .. LOL ... and won it 3 times !!

I do not vote until the entry deadline, because I am lazy and could not be bothered changing a previous vote.. :rolleyes: If it were a National Competition, then you would not be able to vote until all competitors have uploaded their entries. (You have heard the buzz .. "Lines have not opened, so do not vote yet") The fairest way would be to do this and no facility for amending your vote .. however, not sure if the programme has this facility.

Well, at least it is getting our attention and may lift it from a down turn of interest. So come on folks, upload now, whether we vote with our heads or hearts gives us an entertainment over a couple of weeks.

By the way, haven't got around to taking my 'After Dark' pictures as yet, but have a couple of ideas ... so hold yer vote for now ... :D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

No touting please :p

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Nothing in the rules that say you can't, is there ? :p:D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Jambutty, I wonder if you're perhaps taking things a little too seriously and assuming that we're all friends beyond this board. Yes, a few of us know each other but not enough to cheat in somthing that is just for fun.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Awaits Mick's reply.... cos there might be soon:D lol

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Well if there isn't then it's about time the government got to grips with the situation.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Don't you start madam !! ... nah, all this will be going over Mick's head I expect, unless he thinks 'tis serious enough to amend ... notice last sucking up sentence.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I admit it,

I Vote For Friends!

Mainly because the people on accyweb in general are my friends.

That doesn't mean I would deliberately ensure that one friend would be favoured over another, usually after I've uploaded a piccy, (might be a bit late for this one I'm afraid of the dark), I look at what is already on, (notice, what not WHO!), then I vote, I will nearer the close of the voting have another look at what is on and decide, is there something I like more than my first choice or am I happy to leave things as they are.

It's nice to see a picture from a close friend at or near the top of the poll but I and most normal people look at the photographs on their own merits not in some, 'mean and spiteful, they can cheat so they must be doing', way, if the butt uploads something worthy of my vote it will get it if it isn't then it won't.

Mick works very hard getting these competitions together and finding prizes, if anyone has problems he goes out of his way to assist all, he doesn't need anybody putting their poisoned views in and ruining yet another section of accyweb.

So please, if anyone else is thinking of turning a fun competition into a dummy spitting contest please for Micks sake don't.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Thought you only came out after dark??? :hidewall:

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Am only a madam when it suits:p

Yes, I can imagine Mick rolling his eyes:rolleyes: as he reads it
Just like most people probably will have

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Oh yes, you can laugh, you try being a vampire in a town full of hoodies and see if you don't get a little nervous going around attending to your nightly chores!
http://planetsmilies.net/angel-smiley-8413.gif

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Getting harder, isn't it Less, alcohol content, drug content, HIV's ... no decent blood stock these days . :eek:

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Not many hoodies carrying crucifixes or garlic Less! :D mind you, they may smell of garlic at 3 am in the morning.



Ha Ha! Nice one Kate! :D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Here we go again:rolleyes:
Look i have said this before the photo competitions are just a bit of fun we have had 52 photo competitions upto now without any problems, we have some basic rules and thats enough if the prize's where holidays or colour tv or a car then i would tighten the rules a lot more but its not its a bit of fun.
The basic idea behind the competitions was to get members out and about and get used to there cameras and software.
with a little prize at the end of it
so lets keep it that way please A BIT OF FUN
But if you want 3 pages of rules i am sure i can sort that out too:D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Let me see if I have got this right.

If I point out a loophole in the rules that CAN be exploited it is deemed as me casting aspersions over the members of this forum, is not OK and you object to it.

Yet an avatar that that actually calls every person stupid because they cannot see a non-existent picture is defended by most, I’m told that I have no sense of humour because it was a joke, it is OK.

A severe case of double standards if ever there was one. But then that is the case from some forum members.

Pray tell me, how was I to find out about the loophole except by entering the competition?

I responded to an appeal asking for more people to join the photo competition, discovered the loophole and decided to bring it out into the open to see what other people’s views were.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

The rules are in place for a fun competition on a local community forum, it's not the official secrets act that could be exploited :confused:

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Jambutty, you take the cake..you really do.
I bet you were what is the equivalent of a barrack room lawyer.
What I was pointing out was the way you have gone about pointing out what you see as a loophole in the rules.
You feel you can make snide and scathing comments about our(the forum members) integrity in voting....I find that offensive, because it isn't how I operate.
And yet you choose to judge me....and all the other members of the forum.
Yes...we do want members to participate in the competition, but not if they are going to question the motives of the participants and other members of the forum.

I'm sure my opinions do not matter one jot to you....a nd the fact that I feel offended by your attitude to my integrity...I'm sure will cause you no alarm either.
I think that if you feel so strongly about this competition then perhaps you shouldn't enter it...after all it isn't compulsory to enter...or for that matter, to vote.
This is my last word on this subject

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Ooooer! It looks like I’ve been rumbled.

Stumbling on the loophole like I did gave me the opportunity to attract attention to the photo competitions. I knew that some people would not be able to resist the chance to put the boot in so the thread would become active. As I stated, one thing that I do know about - is people.

Mission accomplished!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

If I saw a 'loophole' in any of the rules of this forum (not that I would search for them) then I would bring it to a mods attention in a discreet way via pm, not make sure that evrybody knows about it and could therefore (if they wanted) exploit it, I know a good few accywebbers personally now, and the winner of the last competition is one of my favourite accywebbers... but I didnt vote in that, simply because I was doing other things, had there been a general knowledge of this loophole, and it was being exploited, I think perhaps I may have heard about it. The 'stupid' avatar is also a bit of fun, and I, like many others here think jambutty needs to find something else to do than continually seeking to find fault with this forum and/or its members, for a start, I havnt been approached by anybody else on this forum seeking karma.. THAT is cheating, and cheap! I apologise for the thread wandering rant!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Maybe but I don’t have double standards.

You would lose your bet.

As I stated before if I complain about snide comments being made about me those comments are meant as a joke and I should get a sense of humour and I have to accept it.

But when I SUGGEST that the current photo competition COULD be exploited it is wrong and people suddenly take umbrage.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

That is because you tarred everybody with the same brush jim, you should have been more discreet! You will be attacked if you continually attack others and the forum in general, and especially the ones who work so hard to make it possible (or impossible for you to post on here), if there were to be a vote here to ask how many members would prefer you not to be allowed to post, I am certain the result, at present, would not be in your favour, I for one would vote against allowing some of your ridiculous rants, accusations and trivial snipes!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

As one of accywebs latest hobbies seems to be search the rules to fit your annoyance, I thought I'd have a go.

I know someone that breaks every part of this rule most times he/she posts.

a] he/she never seems to think.
b]what he/she writes is usually unacceptable to the members as a whole.
c] He/she is always offensive but claims someone else started it first.

Back on thread, will be uploading a piccy as soon as nursey allows me to stay up after dark.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Sorry! Don't know what happened but my post got posted twice.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

[quote=derekgas;635691]for a start, I havnt been approached by anybody else on this forum seeking karma.. THAT is cheating, and cheap! I apologise for the thread wandering rant![/quote]
When you make a Karma award, a window pops up showing the words that state something to the effect of; “Thank you for awarding some Karma. You may be lucky enough to receive some in return.”

Not wanting to breach rule 15a I cannot state what my comment was nor your PM to me in response other than to state I was not seeking Karma, just following what is stated above.

Yet you still deliberately set out to do a thread wander because you had a point to make.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Ummmm taste of own medicine JB :rolleyes: why dont ya like it? :D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Oooh look butt you'll be able to complain about double posting now, after all that can't be YOUR fault!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

An Apology!

Have the tablets started working?

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I thread wandered because I had a point to make JB, and not just because I wanted to ruin a thread, which is what you seem to do at times.
I hadnt named anybody, accused anybody directly or been snide, again, unlike yourself, but now that you have raised the point I was making, YOU awarded me karma, it was for quite an old post (that seemed strange, because it is unlikely that you missed the post originally), in the award, you made a point of letting me know you were awarding karma because I had less rep than yourself (which suggests that the karma was for a reason other than agreeing with the post), then suggested that I might like to return the favour! As you point out, the karma award system requests that you may be lucky enough to receive karma in return, as such, I dont need a reminder, therefore I see the award as phishing for karma, which is against the rules, is cheating, and cheap, as I said before, nobody else picked up on this Jim, except your good self, as I knew you would, and in doing so, allowed me to post, by return, exactly what you are about, now, what were you saying about walking right into a trap?

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

No! I don’t ruin a thread.

I have the nerve to post my opinion on an issue that is different to other people’s views and get castigated for doing so. Then if I ‘fight’ my corner people take umbrage and resort to name calling.

I wanted to award you some Karma for a particular recent post but was unable to do so at the time because I’d done my two for the day. When I was able to make the award I couldn’t remember which post it was so I sought out one of yours.

Phishing for Karma against the rules? Just exactly which rule is that? Oh! Silly me. You make up your own rules to suit your own purposes.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

If we were to have yet another poll, entitled 'does Jambutty ruin, or enhance the majority of the threads in which he posts', I am sure the vast majority would vote 'ruins a thread', we cant ALL be wrong can we? I notice the rules poll has ONE difference of opinion! Mmmm, wonder who's that might be?
Nobody objects to you having an opinion Jim, it is the way you put your opinion across sometimes, and seemingly have the opinion that that, is the ONLY opinion that should count for anything, and all others should be disregarded, fighting your corner is one thing, down right obstruction quite another, and that is why you are castigated and called names.
The post you say you wanted to award karma for would be available, providing it wasnt deleted, and would come up in my profile much earlier than the one for which you actually sent it, so that excuse dont wash with me either, you were phishing for reputation in my eyes.
Although I am sure I have seen something about 'phishing for reputation' here, I cannot see it in the rules, but would still say you are morally wrong to accuse others of possibly cheating, whilst 'seeming' to influence the issue of reputation for your own benefit, say what you will about it, you made it look VERY clear that you would like karma returned, that to my mind is wrong.
I dont make ANY rules, but I know when I see something as being against the rules/immoral or both.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Put your theory to the test then! Start a poll. But bear in mind that you are only likely to get something like 40 or 50 votes out of a membership of 14,000 plus, it can hardly be called representative. Unless you deem it so! But that would be arrogant in the extreme.

Wonder no more, it was I.

So if the majority of people are of the same mind then it must be fact eh?

Well once upon a time the majority of the people thought the world was flat and there are many other instances where it turned out that the majority were incorrect. Wasn’t there a recent case where a paediatrician was labelled a paedophile by the majority of his neighbours? Look what happened there. Just because the majority sing from the same hymn sheet it doesn’t automatically follow that the song is the right one.

Oh but they do object to me having an opinion that differs to theirs and because I stick to my guns with evidence to back it up and the other side does not have the nous to do the same to back up their view, they resort to name calling and questioning my mental faculties.

But in what way should I post my opinions? I choose my words very carefully and try to ensure that they cannot be misinterpreted. It is hardly my fault if someone comes along doesn’t read and understand what has been written and puts his/her own spin on it.

Show me where I have obstructed another viewpoint. I’d also be very interested to know how a person can do that.

For your information I did search through your list of posts to see if I could find the one where I wanted to award you some Karma. I was unable to recall which post it was and the searching did not jog my memory. So I can only assume that your refusal to accept my statement, means that you are calling me a liar. Now THAT is against the rules and also immoral.

I never accused anyone of cheating. What I said that it is possible to do so. But heck, why let the accuracy of my statement get in the way of trying to score a Brownie point or two?

Now if there is a anyone else wanting to give me a piece of their mind, then go ahead but you will be ‘talking’ to yourself.

I’m out of this thread because it has gone too far off topic.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Just for the record - I voted for a photo and I don't even know the photographer AT ALL!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Geez, glad I have nowt to do with it any more, I had enough stick when I run it, this would have topped it and I would have stopped it thats for sure - 1 little word FUN, and that doesn't need rules in my opinion

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

After removing the rest of the rant, Whose fault is it that it went off topic? None of the other 51 did?

http://planetsmilies.net/confused-smiley-17428.gif

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I am not about to start a poll, I said, IF, big difference, (who put a spin on that then?)the majority is not the 14000 you suggest, just the regular posters, and I still know how that would go, without putting it to the test.
We can quote misrepresentation all day, you say people thought the world was flat..fact! Hitler thought he was right!
I am sure noone (not even Less) objects to you having an opinion, but am also sure that most everyone objects to the self righteous, obstroperous way that you do it, just be civil man, and stop trying to belittle or deride people, all the regulars here CANNOT possibly be wrong every time, but when in a debate with you, somehow, you deem them to be wrong, no matter how many they number, people were wrong about the world being flat ONCE, Hitler was wrong ONCE, Jim is never wrong apparently, and that is obstructive.
I have never said I refuse to accept your statement, nor called you a liar, and will post your comment so others may make up thier own mind.
And now you want to run away rather than be proven wrong, I dont need brownie points here Jim, I think I am considered a nice bloke in the mainstream... Mmmm!!

Here is the karma posted by jambutty, this is to allow people to make up there own mind.. phishing or complimentary and honest!

You’ve got less than I have so have some Karma. Hopefully you might return the favour. – jambutty.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

As the competition is called "after dark" and after means following does that mean during light ? Another loophole !!!!!

Sorry, please please dont take this too seriously. Its fun...it brings people together to discuss and talk, and takes a lot of work by someone to keep it running. Lets all appreciate his work, get along and take it as it is...a great resource for interesting conversations, differences of opinions and above all light entertainment.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Eeew you right Banjoman ... LOL. Meant 'after the sun has set' or 'between dusk and dawn', but basically 'After Darkness has fallen and before light shows its glow again'. Anyway, think most have understood what I meant ...funny language this English 'innit ... :D:D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I cant upload a photo to the comp - anyone know why ?
help.......

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

its okay i have sorted it lol

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Eeew hek ! We are doomed ! Upset the Gremlins... :D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

lol I am sure there is normally a button that uploads straight to a comp - but i had to link it to the comp from the picture - i suppose it has changed i must have missed it somewhere - oh well - ( i think i should have stayed blonde lol )

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

OK, so I set out to Blackburn, after rehearsal tonight, to take what I thought would make a good photograph (well looked good when driving past).

Parked 50 yards away, and risked arm and limb in the pouring rain and wind (for heaven's sake, curled me hair !), plus trying to cross the road complex which seemed to be the pedestrian spaghetti junction of Bolton Road and strange looks from a police car. I am trying to be a good soldier honest !.

What a load of rubbish they turned out to be .... plus the blooming batteries failed on me again !! Back to the drawing board ... LOL.

Any advice on taking night photos would be appreciated.

By the way, some absolutely smashing photos in there.

Attachment 12650 It's a great structure though :D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Is that the new bridge?

If you haven’t got a tripod then put your camera on something solid and hold it still.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Katex as Jambutty said you need a tripod or a wall to rest the camera on for night shots as the exposure is a lot longer than normal and any camera shake will show up.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Thanks fellas ... don't know what that police car would have thought though, carrying a tripod at 10 p.m. ... might have finished up in the cells ... :D
Can you get fold up ones ?

Yes, is the new bridge Jambutty, I love bridges and think this is quite beautiful. I know I'm weird. Haven't driven over it yet, so haven't a clue where it goes. :confused:

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

we got a little one from the pound shop, handy for rare use and will go in any womens handbag along with the kitchen sink :D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Most tripods close down to a small size and you can get little table top ones so you can put it on a wall

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Wasn’t there a new type of tripod on The Gadget Show some time back where the legs were flexible and would grip onto posts, railings etc as well as behaving like a normal tripod, albeit a short one?

When taking night shots, try to avoid having bright lights in the frame. The exposure calculating gubbins in the camera will use them to calculate the exposure time and leave the bulk of the picture in the dark, so to speak.

Or you could fettle the picture by adjusting the Brightness/Contrast and Gamma Correction in something like Paint Shop Pro or Adobe to produce this.

You can have the picture if you want it.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

OK uploads close at 10pm tonight so if your intending to enter please upload your photo's soon thank you.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Failed miserably to get some of my own last night .. thought would take some of the viaduct .. but to get a good shot would have had to scramble in the middle of it ... night in the cells at least.

Have put some up that my brother (Tubbyless) sent me ... hope you enjoy them ... :D

Best of luck everyone.

Will collect me prize next week Mick .. promise.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

I put a comment on one of them pics Kate.... it's a cracker!

Have said on the comment too... looks like there is a story behind it

Tis just that kind of pic:)

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Uploads are now closed
you now have till 10pm sunday to VOTE!!

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Voted some cracking pics this time. Good luck everyone:)

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Sure a story there AccyLass .. didn't get time to subtitle .. eleventh hour so to speak.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Oh sugar Mick .. have entered 7 .. put one up twice ... :rolleyes:

What will you do ? :D

Didn't put up the one I thought the best either ... hopeless case me.. :o

For enjoyment only, thought this was lovely :-

Think in North Cyprus.

Attachment 12669

I am just about to vote.. hope everyone else is.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

That is brilliant and for me would have been the best of the bunch had it been entered.

It looks like Kyrenia harbour.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Thanks Jambutty, but will have to ask bros. He will have it marked .. more organised than me .. think had too many bacardi/cokes last night.
Loved your kissing one ... was it tongues ?.... :D:D

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

No it was proper kissing and being photographed doing so back in those days it was very risqué.

Also back in those days, the “French Kiss” was just a gentle touch of the other person’s lips with the tongue and was considered a request for sex, as was poking just the tip of the tongue out at someone. If you ever got a reply it was only a tease anyway. Nice/good girls wanted at least a ring on the third finger of the left hand before even thinking about going down that road.

Re: Photo Competition 52
 

Better not digress too much here Jambutty .. will get into trouble.
Still 'tis bumping the thread up I suppose ... :D

Thanks for taking that duplicate out for me Mick .. sorry. :o
