CC ethics

Not as far as I know, the whole approach of fb is comments without it wouldn't it just be a directory listing?

would be the same as a flickr page with comments disabled i would imagine.
just another image hosting site...albeit, a crappy compressed one...
 
Just in case people wanted to know, here's an example of the OP's critique of the FB post...

FB Post.jpg


Taken from this article.

(I'm aware that this is not my image, but considering it is widely spread throughout the internet, it seemed similar to the forum's take on memes...)
 
I would never walk into an artist's gallery, publicly critique his images in front of his potential clients even if I feel that they are "inferior" to my own. It serves me no purpose other than making me look like I'm more knowledgeable than someone else in front of all of his potential clients, and feel "superior". You'll never see a respectable artist does that to another, even when he/she has every rights to do so. I have very little respect for people that do that to another person.
 
As an aside:

We are now in the day of digital, online, social, global communication and international business and there is an etiquette. An etiquette that is just as important online now as it was in your days of paper, film and dark rooms. Stop thinking of digital as a lesser photography or a lesser business or a lesser interaction and catch up.

Now that's downright comical. Online and etiquette used in the same sentence. What internet are you using?

Damn.....that's funny right there. Hell, people have no manners in person, let alone online.

And what do you do with children who show bad manners?

You tell them why they're wrong so that they may eventually end up as decent members of a civilised society.

Okay then children........Quit paying Facebook to be your Robo Spammer sending out your unsolicited like me/see me ads. It's bad manners to do so.

Can we also tell this to every politician (and their idiot cronies/cults), religion, insurance company, and car dealership? I hate their ads all over television, billboards, phone, internet, etc... Well, I quite like the Subaru ads...

What I find funny, is that it's not bad manners. If you're using Facebook, you have to realize there will be ads on there. That's part of Facebook. Facebook connects you to things... some things are friends, some things are events, and others are businesses.

If you don't want ads on Facebook, then... don't use Facebook?

To me, bad manners means an impoliteness resulting from an ignorance of an accepted social norm (thanks internet! :p). For example, using a free social media site (say, Facebook) with full-knowledge of a particular pitfall (say, ads) and then go on to complain about said pitfall. It's a free service; they have to make money somehow. You knew it when you signed up for their free service.

(As a side note, if you're PAYING for a service, and you still have ads, well then you absolutely have a right to complain, IMO. :))

Would paying The Photo Forum owners to put an ad on the front page be a more acceptable option?

I hate their ads all over television, billboards, phone, internet, etc... Well, I quite like the Subaru ads... To do so just drop network TV, even better, I do not have one book in my house that has ads in the middle, not one blu-ray that interrupts the move with ads, not one song on my iPod that stops every little bit to play an ad. Netflix's doesn't interrupt my move with ads. Lots of choices beyond the sit there and shovel it too me method of entertainment.

Phone - caller ID. I don't know you, I don't answer.

Billboards - pay attention to your driving, not your cell phone, the person sitting next to you, the shops along the way or the billboards.

Internet-If you haven't figure that one out, unplug your computer or quite going to those porn sites. They you won't get all that unsolicited SPAM.

Facebook connects you to things... some things are friends, some things are events, and others are businesses. You also have to realize if you are using Facebook there are a lot of people that don't like the unsolicited ads and choose to object.. That's part of Facebook.

If you don't want ads on Facebook, then... don't use Facebook? If you don't want people commenting on you unsolicited spam, then... don't use Facebook.

To me, bad manners means an impoliteness resulting from an ignorance of an accepted social norm (thanks internet! :p). For example, using a free social media site (say, Facebook) with full-knowledge of a particular pitfall (say, people detesting spam and the spammers) and then go on to complain about said pitfall the backlash to their spam causes. It's a free service; they have to make money somehow. You knew it when you signed up for their free service and chose to be a part of the problem by adding your spam to the rest that not everyone would like it.

(As a side note, if you're PAYING for a service, and you send unsolicited ads, well then you absolutely have no right to complain, IMO. :))

Interesting that you should mention that. How about taking a lesson from The Photo Forum. Their ads are on the top bar and side bar of their page. NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONVERSATION. Wow, now there is a thought. Put it where people can look at it if they choose not sending it directly to their conversations. What a novel idea, pay to have your ad in the top or sidebar, not sent out as a robo spam. And it would be much politer than the new found "etiquette" of the young. (Not mentioning anyone in particular of course)
 
@gryphonslair99, your post looks a little messy without my quotes. I wasn't sure if you were agreeing with me on the Subaru commercials or not... ;)

That said, I understand your perspective. I'm going to politely agree to disagree. Hopefully you will, too.

Also, hasn't this thread gone on long enough considering the OP hasn't responded?
 
Some of the Subaru commercials are good. I also enjoy many of the Farmers insurance commercials. Mercedes does have a few good ones such as.....



Nah the thread can never go on too long, (just look at the coffee thread) just change direction since the OP hasn't come back.
