23. MW101 w/SIC🍀: {Photo etiquette} We've been seeing for some time now in the lounge, that we have become a little sloppy with the MW Rules and FAQs---that we are all so quick to tell new users to read. I thought it would be nice to review what Admin asks of us when it comes to posting photos. 🔴We are asked to refrain from posting photos that are not ours. I understand that we all often post something from the Disney Parks blog or the like when reporting exciting up coming events or news. In this case it is vital that we give credit where it is due. Not giving credit for others photos could cause problems for MW. 🔴Please remember that when posting more then one photo that is ether not yours or that is not live, please consider using photo collage apps (PicStich, Diptic and many others. They are great fun! haha). : ) 🔴We LOVE live photos and would hate for the efforts of those in the parks to get pushed to the next page and might not be seen. It states in the Rules and FAQs that any post not following the rules can and will be removed. Thank you so much for your time!! : )
Can we also add that not every post needs a picture?!?! - LilSterner

Please!!!!! - DisneyFanZoe 1099.6 #74 9:09AM
And now ban Throwback Thursday too? That's what Instagram is for. Just creates too many posts to sift through. - LilSterner 2686.2 #20 9:47AM
Yes and yes! - cesium55 531.2 #221 9:50AM
I'll add it 😊 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 10:28AM
I love the addition of the dots too. Helps to emphasize the different points! - LilSterner 2686.2 #20 12:36PM
Maybe we need another retro pic day for everyone to get it out of their systems. - Armenda 1057.8 #82 9:13PM
👏👏 gracias señorita 😉 this has been needed lately.. - MEHlanie_Mouse

😂😂😂I just saw it - Hendizl 1377.1 #58 12:50AM
A pleasant reminder - thank you :) I know that I have other apps (Instagram, Facebook occasionally) that I can spam with non-live photos (and I do, frequently) and photos of things not Disney related (shocker I know, lol). I know we all love to share with THIS family, because we really are something special - but somethings are better left off MW :) xo - Lola027

after scrolling through the lounge this morning i've come to the realization that 100% of the people who need to read this have not. - nicoleface

So it's ok to post my picture of a coffee spill I had yesterday that formed a hidden mickey? 😝 - Waites4DodgerEars 689.0 #153 8:42AM
you can just directly text me that picture. haha. - nicoleface 1325.0 #62 8:44AM

Do it! It was the most awesome! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1835.7 #43 9:54AM
I relized that a long time ago 😔. Figures 😄. But it's still good to post so when we delete thir post we can go, "bump. See, it was posted and clearly stated in the rules!" Haha 😄 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 10:22AM
Great reminder!! Thank you! - Armenda
1057.8 #82 11:26PM
If you really feel the need to post something not MW or Disney related, mousetopia is a great place to share with your friends. :) - Armenda 1057.8 #82 11:43PM
I think you just do it for the money. - Mouse4life

This has been a long time coming. It seemed that once the holidays began there was a free for all with non-Disney related pics which started with Halloween house decorations and it went from there. Thank you for reeling this in. - MyPark
946.4 #94 7:29AM
I would like to point out that MrsStrawberry posted a fairly lengthy and thorough plea to adhere to the FAQ guidelines on this. This was posted about 2 weeks ago. - MyPark 946.4 #94 7:58AM
It probably didn't have a picture, therefore missed and pushed down the line by photo spam - cesium55 531.2 #221 9:53AM
With GOOD reason - cesium55 531.2 #221 6:03PM
Well done and thank you! Now if only we had something on bumping old posts that the questions had already been answered. Although we should definitely make exceptions for madsdad and DV old posts. 😂😂😂😂 - MrsSchnooks

I feel like this needs to be the 1st post of the lounge all day today 😉 - PirateQueenBriezy

Thank you!! I can't believe what a mess a few people have been making of the lounge lately. - DisneyFanZoe
1099.6 #74 9:10AM
Thanks SIC, I've been cutting and pasting this the last few weeks too. So many newbies thinking MW is FB and not reading Rules-Faqs. Thanks again. - splashphotoCM

Unfortunately it's not just the newbies - cesium55 531.2 #221 9:55AM
👆Very true! ...And thanks for the effort SPCM! 😊 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 10:25AM

Thank you for your great information. I have been reading MouseWait 101 and have learned so much about this app. - DLandDan
198.4 #1693 9:56AM
Aw, thank you! That means a lot! 😊 : ) - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 10:26AM
Why hasn't this made best post of the day yet? But a "throwback Thursday" picture has??? - MousekaNinja
372.5 #379 11:26AM
I guess not enough people like it when you lay down the law! 😏 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 11:28AM
You read my mind! - ElectricMayhemMom 320.1 #538 11:31AM
I wish I could thank your post twice, but it doesn't work like that. - MousekaNinja 372.5 #379 11:33AM
Thank you! 😘 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 11:40AM
This was also posted yesterday and I believe that Best of the Day resets at midnight. - LilSterner 2686.2 #20 12:35PM
Maybe I'm not understanding, does this mean that Throwback Thursday photos are no longer permitted? - NotNKansasAnymor
184.4 #1846 11:34AM
They are generally frowned upon because they are not live. - MousekaNinja 372.5 #379 11:36AM
No, there is nothing in the Rules about retro Disneyland pics. 😊 A lot of people really like seeing them. - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 11:37AM
I suppose personally I would rather see tbt photos from inside the parks than any more nail photos. 😝 - MousekaNinja 372.5 #379 11:42AM
MSG you put it better, more along the lines of what I was thinking. Thank you. I stand corrected. - MousekaNinja 372.5 #379 11:44AM
Ok, I think that's where the confusion was. Since the FAQs say that photos posted in the lounge should be live. So as I understand it now...photos should be live UNLESS it is a Throwback Thursday photo posted on Thursday? Correct? - NotNKansasAnymor 184.4 #1846 11:51AM
But are you allergic to MSGBTMBF? - MissMolly 705.5 #145 11:52AM
*MrsStrawberry I will no longer refer to you by using your acronym. 😃 - MousekaNinja 372.5 #379 12:04PM
Throwback Thursday has made MW more like Instagram and FB. Especially when the throwback was from last week - cesium55 531.2 #221 12:41PM
Also, on occasion, admin has called up a "retro day" in the lounge. Those are the best time to post the authentic retro pics from your personal stash. - bluefairy 628.8 #176 4:52PM
Aaaaand...throwback or retro doesn't mean last week or last month, maybe not even last year. Lets have some standards, people! 😂😂😂 - bluefairy 628.8 #176 4:53PM
^^ Agree 100%.. don't be redic! - MyPark 946.4 #94 5:00PM
Standards! I love standards! - cesium55 531.2 #221 6:07PM
******No LilSterner, NO! Do not ban throwback Thursday! I love to see old classic pics of Disneyland! - MadameLeota
977.0 #91 12:59PM
I don't mind seeing old pics of what DL and DCA used to look like. I know I've one through my old pics and reminisced, but I don't think that people need to search for a pic just to post for "throwback Thursday" which was started as an Instagram thing anyway. But that's just my opinion. - LilSterner 2686.2 #20 3:18PM
As there are some who STILL are not getting this... I'm bumping this post. You're welcome! - MyPark
946.4 #94 5:25PM
I really hate lounge police - Deltachiq 973.1 #92 5:40PM
Wowzers. Without lounge police they'll all get up. It'll be anarchy. - cesium55 531.2 #221 5:58PM
After today I'm going back to sticking my head back in the sand and "turning a blind eye" to rule breaking, as one poor app review stated. Today, no mercy. - MyPark 946.4 #94 6:19PM
Am I the only one who can just scroll past the things I don't care to see and move on? I know there are rules for a reason but it isn't going to ruin my mood if I see someone posting a photo that isn't live or seen as acceptable. - lizzie2thelou
28.3 #4546 5:47PM
I scroll past things I do not care to see either. - VfxGenie 1399.6 #57 5:54PM
So do I,or just RP remove post option. I've done that a few times. - MarshaMouse 2935.4 #16 5:56PM
Love your profile picture - MarshaMouse 2935.4 #16 5:56PM
If you think I do these for my own benefit, you are greatly mistaken! These are meant to be helpful tips and reminders on how to use MW! And these are supported by Admin. You could have just scrolled by this as well! 😄 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 5:58PM
It's hard to scroll past when the whole first page violates this and MW I loading slowly to get to more posts - cesium55 531.2 #221 6:08PM
If anyone thinks I do these for my own benefit, you are GREATLY mistaken! These are meant to be helpful tips and reminders on how to use MW, and are supported by Admin. - Sweet_Irish_Cream
2705.8 #19 6:00PM
I don't think you do these for your own benefit, just putting my two cents in. I think that people are way too quick to judge new posters here, that's all. Thank you for taking your time to do this. - lizzie2thelou 28.3 #4546 6:01PM
I used to like turkey legs but then I stop. - VfxGenie

There is a reason why our high school and college English teachers drilled MLA format and documentation into our heads, lol: it's necessary in the real world to cite your sources! And there can be serious consequences for not doing so. The photos with irrelevant captions crack me up, too 😂 - Spoonful_O_Sugar
439.0 #289 9:19PM
I like the googled "memes" accompanied by pictures of words the most. 😂😂😂 - bluefairy 628.8 #176 9:51PM

See what's happening LIVE from Disneyland!
