Deletion proposals

OK

While I am maybe a little intoxicated {sorry boss}, and Pandora is detached from HC, I am going to let it all out

I would like to clean the RL photos thread.  I have wanted to do this for some time, but was told that members here are attached to the posts.  I respect this, but would like to delete all posts and comments to posts that do not relate to pics that still exist, or deleted ones that were posted in the last 6 months.

It is really difficult to navigate all those 100+ pages...

It would also allow for a revamp of the index so that it is useful.

What says you, the people!

I'm so lazy that if I was a mod I wouldn't even CONSIDER cleaning that up...
I mean why not go out somewhere instead of spending the whole afternoon cleaning a primordial dusty thread?

Kooka, I was thinking of doing the index, I still have it on my HD, so if I have the time, maybe tomorrow, I can finish it for you, and it will be updated?

And I agree to the deletion of posts in RL photos, I mean, the irrelevant ones, and the spammy ones.

people think???? someone should tell those things, seriously...

Anyway, I'm mostly for cleaning up RL photos. Just not an automatic "if you're not a picture - you're out" deletion. Not all spam is worthless enough to delete it.

Great idea. There's a lot of fun chit chat in the thread but a lot of spam too.

I got something to throw in too. Filespace for photos to be hosted on the HC server. So if you can gather all the photos up and prepare them for uploading, it would be good. This way we can host them here and ensure they always stay up.

It would be good if you can perform the necessary image optimization on them to reduce the filesize, without undermining the quality too much. As a general guideline, we want to avoid images over 150KB. This is both to keep the bandwidth low and ensure fast loading.

Well that's easy... If it's a problem for the mods, I could do that, I have free time now anyway

Valeriy, if we wanted our pictures to be hosted on this server, would we have to send them to you, or would there be some kind of uploading process that we could go through?

And anyway, I generally do not like images going above 150 kbs, and I really hate .bmp image formats, they take forever to load.

awesome, a new era in RL photo history

I'm on holidays {} so should have time to do this in the next week or so, as long as we don't have an uprising, and/or it is what the mage desires

hehee

@ baklava, if you would like to resize pics that would be great

Sounds good. Baklava can be the image optimization master. Smaller is better, but with min quality loss. Let's set 150kb as the upper limit per image, but ideally most pics can be under 100kb.

Moderators will have access for uploading to the HC filespace, members will not at this stage.

Valeriy, perhaps if members with a certain number of QP's might be allowed uploading??

Just a thought, perhaps members with over 4 or 5 qps might be allowed to upload pictures, or maybe 3 qps or 8 qps.

I've got a better idea: how about only members under a certain numbers of QP will be able to upload? E.g. members with 2 qps or less (it has nothing to do with my current qp quantity).

There will be alot of work.
100 pages of replies from people you never met.
Pics that dont load anymore.
Funny rl photos that were not supposed to be posted lol.
Real events & pure spam.

I think you can use your good judgement & choose which replies should be kept & which is just pure crap.

If Val has another place for the photos.
My suggestion would be to save yourself sometime.

Why clean the thread if you can just move the photos to a place that Val described.

My suggestion is to go through all the live photos.
Gather them & place them to a place Val suggested.
LOCK the RL Photo thread & leave every reply the way it is.
It will sink down the pages of this forum.
It would save your time & history dont have to be erased also in the process.

I don't think they mean deleting all the spam ever created in the thread.

I think they might mean just the recent spam.

However, if they do mean the spam which is spread across the 100 pages, then that will be a lot of work!!!

Yea I know what they meant but why bother is what I mean.
Just lock it & use the filespace thangy Val was talking about.
It's simpler that way.

Simple.
Lock the thread.
Let the thread die.
Make that Filespace.
Pics go there.
If you want to have a Photo discussion.
Maybe make a thread called Filespace chat.

Just my opinion.
Simple quicker & photos wont take that long to find.

Good Idea

I've been through that thread and I can tell you that there are more junk posts than you think. After time, many posts that once had pictures linked are now filled with a red X.
