There's some confusion about posting pictures in the Lounge. I would much rather have people post Disneyland pics here then post links and send traffic to other sites. MouseWait benefits when people stay on our site and we do not benefit when people are sent from MouseWait to other sites like Flickr. I do not consider it spamming the Lounge if you are posting live pics, that is what the Lounge is for and people love seeing them. Of course, this isn't the place to post 200 pics of your recent vacation (mousetopia), but in my opinion if you are posting live from the Park, you shouldn't be afraid that you are spamming, especially if you are posting with good intentions. I do not want to discourage people from posting live pics because then we lose good content in the Lounge. There is a Remove button on every post, so if someone is posting too much then remove the post or block the person. You can always unblock later. Having said that, exercise good etiquette when posting, loading 10 pics within a few minutes of each other quickly fills the first page of the Lounge with only your items which is not good unless you are breaking a major news story in the Park. Hope that helps!
Oh, so live photos from the park aren't considered spam and we shouldn't refer to sights like flickr? Awesome, thanks admin! - ScubaSteve028

But remember - moderation is the key. Don't dominate the first several pages. In other words, share the road. - Experiment818 1598.0 #47 12:40AM
The FAQ says post in moderation. Live pics are awesome! But when the same two people have every post on the same 5 pages, because they posted one after another it's a bit much. I try and split my live pics between the lounge and MT. Unless I am reporting breaking news. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:46AM
Oh good, now i can bump this if ever yelled at again ;) - shadowgamer

Good! I enjoy the posted pics and that's why I come here. I'd much rather see a beautiful castle everyday than someones cupcakes from home! - 559MickeyLover 266.9 #856 1:09PM
Thank you Admin. The clarification is great. I love seeing the pictures and sometimes become tired of the useless banter. When you live 8 hrs away the pictures are your happy place. I always look forward to the pictures and somedays I feel there aren't enough.π - PrincessAuroraMomma

Thank you, this should stop certain people demanding that other certain people to collages. - Lelundrial

I have seen some fantastic collages. They are great when I want to show lots of different parts of the same thing like the one Caramiapooh did of TSMM. - SueBayou 2012.0 #34 2:17PM
The man has spoken. Thank you Admin!! - BaseballMickey_CM

Oh good, thanks for clarifying. Things were getting confusing. It's like there are official rules and thenΒ guidelines thatΒ members make up and they contradict each other sometimes. - Sheilamo

Thanks admin! As someone who doesn't go to the park often and probably won't for a long time live pictures are AMAZING! Edited or not that's what the majority of mw'ers want to see! - kritomiester

Yes, it is very frustrating to put in breaking news or important info when all you see are photos with every single post. Also, while the block or remove feature is handy we shouldn't have to resort to using that just because someone cannot use restraint in posting. - Dahulagirl

Yaay! Hopefully this helps all those experienced MWrs that suggested users use those photo sites in the first place. Although, I like the collage suggestions too! - 559MickeyLover
