hi marianne, martin
i agree that the travel pics posted should relate to the place of travel and i am ok with your suggestion on picture rating, tho' i personally follow the rating as suggested by rudi every time i look at a pic.
i personally feel that member's private or family pics should not be posted and if they are, perhaps at the travellog or perhaps andy can create a separate category where one can upload up to 40 private or family pics and only to be accessed by prior approval being granted by way of a secret password.
hope that helps!

Apology for delay in responding
Marianne's guidelines are perfect for me: I will have no difficulty in using them for the future. I have read all the other suggestions with deep interest and have benefited from them.
Rudi's point about personal opinion is very important- opinions are not lacking in merit just because i am not an expert. Almost by definition, experts are always a minority. ---

Hi All,
I'm also in agreement of having guidelines. The way it stands now members can upload any picture they chose, whether its travel related or personal. As far as I can remember there is now where when signing up to be a member it says ‘no personal pictures’ (I could be wrong). But they are only guidelines and we could choose to ignore them or which I sincerely hope, use them as a personal critic of what pictures should be uploaded.
The way I see it, it can only enhance the site.

Amanda,
When Globo started, Andy supervised the quality of the photos himself. If he did not approve he would send a message telling so. But Globo has grown and Andy is no longer able to do so.

I agree with these guidelines, but I would add that personal pictures don't even belong in the travellog section. I can see adding a picture of yourself in front of the Statue of Liberty, but pictures of pets, homes and such don't really belong on this website. Get a free website at Geocities if you want that stuff on the net (I know I have one).
It may sound harsh, but this is a travel website not a data storage website...I wouldn't log onto a website about pets and post my pictures of the Eiffel Tower, so why should people do that here? ---

Fraud!!
i have just experienced the rough edge of the new protection software. A picture from Sakhalin because of a succinct title (full of historical information)attracted from me an out of range rating. Could the response please do without the word fraud? ---
