ninjas don't sleep, they

OH WAIT NO THAT JOKE HAS BEEN MADE TWENTY SIX TIMES IN THIS THREAD ALREADY WOOPS

these are the group tags for different screenshot photogrphy groups

originally the group: Ar7is7s of Halo had a few pics out with the tag {AoH} on them

then members of the group Screenshot Photographers (like myself) began posting a TON of photos with the tag [SP] on them... this is where it got big

these 2 groups are ***THE ORIGINAL TWO PHOTOGRAPHY GROUPS****, who initially put up these tags

now, smaller, recently created, and overall low quality (no i am not making assumptions, this is a TRUE FACT) groups are springing up all over the place... mainly to get to put tags on their photos

TIP is one of them (team ice photo) this group however is poorly organized, lacks experience among members and was created with few things in mind other than self promotion...

now more and more of these little groups keep popping into existence and there is seemingly nothing we can do to stop it...

hopefully this helped...

Edited out group link.

Wow. Now THAT is an impressive amount of hypocrisy packed into one post. And no, it doesn't "help."

I consider these "tags" to be nothing more than illegal group advertisements in the wrong forum and spam on top of that. The tags are merely attention-grabbers and for anybody to act outraged to the point where you are blatantly using this forum to insult users because they are in other groups besides yours and acting indignant that somebody else would tag their post (how dare anybody except members of YOUR group post attention-grabbing subject lines) is ludicrous.

I foresee that the group "tags" will come to an end soon, as they are getting out of hand quickly. I saw an entire thread in the Screenshots Forum today that had been hijacked with an argument about which group was "allowed" to post the stupid subject line tags.

Moreover, these groups seem to be forming "bumping" parties whereby members of the group are either obligated or encouraged to "bump" the screenshots of other group members. The subject line tags serve to help other group members quickly identify which threads to go post a "5/5 lol" in. This is not helpful or beneficial to the vast majority of other users who are NOT in these groups. I do not want to reach the point where I feel like my screenshot/map/gametype/film is going to fall off the first page within thirty seconds unless I affiliate myself with a powerful group that will help me out by bumping my post. That's cheating.

I am strongly opposed to these subject line tags, which cause nothing but trouble and serve absolutely no justifiable purpose.

I can see it becoming a major problem also. I wanna see what everyone thinks on this.

If you want to promote your stuff do as I am and throw it up on Bittorent. ( Is that legal?)



Also everyone of those threads always have replies.

Yep of course they do. It seems that a large function of these groups is for users to bump each others' threads. Which is what makes me even more annoyed at them, as I outlined in the last post.

By the way, I think it's fine to put your materials up on Bittorrent. People have been doing stuff like that for years.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Thank God I wasn't the only one who had that same thought.

It's pretty sad when the first thing that pops into one's head upon reading the first half-dozen lines of a post is, "This guy is so full of himself it's almost humorous..." Now I'll describe the Aeterna's post...

I totally agree with x Foman123 x, it may have been a good idea at first but this will get out of hand pretty fast.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Seeing how most of my time is spent elsewhere looks like now I have a nice little project. Group wars are not going to be tolerated on this site.

I do hope that these groups realize that if it gets out of control Achronos does have the power to take away the group and all the people in it.

Thanks, it's also good to know Achronos can wipe them out instantly if needed.

As long as their is no wars or intentional bumping, then I'm fine with it. But we also need to be fair to all users.



And next Monday my montage is going up on Bittorent.

There is no group war going on. Quite the opposite.

I am in [SP], and the{AoH] group and us are involved in fun contests. We are what you may call "loose rivals". It's all fun.

We are both organized and follow good leaders who are aware of things and keep things under control.

We groups that take professional pictures. No strech armstrongs, or NEW eggs!!! pics. So by posting a [SP] or an {AoH}, we are simply stating that we belong to this particular group and our pictures are professional. Thats all.

To Achilles: We have already contacted mods, and they have agreed to warn us to simply tone it down, or remove the tags, if issues arise. We are aware, but so far they have said we can do it. We will of course, listen to the community and adjust as we see fit.

>_> I agree with Achilles. You know, the part where he said "We're going to ban them all."

That was a sweet part...

What do you mean he didn't say that? Oops.
Sounds like the two groups are just bumping buddies.

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

And while we are on the subject most of the groups don't even have that great of photos, I've seen way better user photos, Not bashing his group (although I agree with everyone else that he seems full of himself) but before you come in here and bash the other groups make sure your pictures are good.

No, there is no group war, but you guys saying nobody else creates pictures as good as yours is a lie and proves what everyone else was saying in this thread. And I don't think group wars is the problem here. The problem is these groups bumping their own photos. Which kind of ruins the reason for the forum in the first place.

First off. The group does NOT condone new accts bumping pics. I have already reported people doing that myself and they have been dealt with.

Second, we are not bumping our pics. We are advertising and discussing them in the group and holding contests. We can't stop that occasional member who may join and break rules, like bumps everyones pics by copy and pasting "nice 5/5". We expect better feedback than that.

Again, we try to keep the group clean and make our members follow guidelines. We are very new still, and are still learning.

I think we should lock ALL threads with this garbage in the title, make it illegal then they'll get the point.

They should just put it somewhere in Post #1.


I'm getting tired of seeing a 100 reply pic with only 50 downloads, when most people never comment at all.


Also the above user ^ Deaf here, is telling all the other SP ppl to comment on his also. Don't make me link it.

Do the same with mine... - There is an example

So. Many people in general do that -_-
I never link though. You can't say only [SP] users do that....

Beside. We aren't doing anything illegal. I understand people are frustrated and have brought the attention to the group to limit this type of things. Don't worry. We know there is an issue, but it takes time to spread the word.

Well you better get it spread before you don't have the chance.

I'm not against SP or TIP or any of these groups, but this group thing will quickly spiral out of control.

I'm also not out to get you guys, but I do see a ton of bumping in those threads.


Just nailed a crossposter and bumper also btw.

Something seems a bit odd about that statement.
