Reply to: what is a photo?

yeah, my account’s flagged. i care less about that though than the general philosophical issue. if i wanted, i could get my account reviewed and probably unflagged on the grounds that only about 250 of my 1800 images are “non-photos” but i haven’t even bothered. i think it should be ok for my entire account to be “non-photos”.

though i was quite annoyed at their way of doing it without any kind of notification. you can really only tell if your account is NIPSAd if you go looking for your own images in public tag streams which isn’t something that i do very often (call me weird).

the whole thing really saddens me because i’ve been so vocally pro-flickr trying to get my friends and coworkers all signing up and pushing it at work, etc. now, they go and pull this kind of thing and make me really feel like a chump for supporting them.

They’re the chumps for instituting this policy. I sincerely hope they come around.
