[Ricky Q.]

As a photo mod, the process of going through these pictures is not so bad. The real pain comes when a discussion of a picture goes no where, such as discussing a picture of 2 people or a person in a place, etc and we have to move the discussion to Chit-Chat or watch it constantly to make sure people aren't posting back and forth and what not.

I am all for discussing robots in progress and pictures that have worth. But if someone is going to post a picture of a piece of metal and 20 people are going to reply with "Oh man what is that? I bet its going to be an arm, awesome," then our job becomes tedious and a pain.

Post meaningful photos and create meaningful discussions, but if its something that can be discussed in an IM or email, don't bring it to the forums.
