Each of the examples I gave has been validated. While my text description of the rules is based upon my own understanding, I'm pretty sure the overall SC voting would agree. Any other SC members care to elaborate or correct my post? |

to Atryste..... Yes
Excuse me, but I'm not sure respect to the photographer should outweight the benefit to members in all cases. I'm not advocating posting every DQ as an example, but there is a section explaining "literal art", why not other errors or misinterpretations?
IMO, the use of definitive precidents would reduce the need to redefine the gray areas every week.

Dan, in your last thread, you railed against the individual voice because it made things too unclear. And yet now your solution is to present, with your individual voice, the voice of someone who is not even on the deciding committee, inaccurate information to help clarify things? You speak frequently of logic and this just does not strike me as logical.
If you truly wish to help clarify things, perhaps you would like to make a draft of the rules as you feel they should be and submit them to the admins and/or Site Council. I'm sure we would appreciate your help. |
**********************************************************************
With all due respect my individual voice has the sole weight of one member. I am talking to other members. My voice is like a cry in the night. I have no authority nor do I dare to assume it. Mine is not an official posting. I am saying that as a member I share their frustration. Yes, many of you are much smarter than me and you know all the ways of DPC and the rules. To me they are not as precise as they should be. I just think we owe it to eachother to clear the air. Again, my voice is of no consequence. Again show me where something I said will cause a DQ? |

Because literal artwork was easier. Similar examples for Major Elements and Filters will be added eventually, but that will involve FAR more effort and discussion. |

I was more referring to the "20 pages of rules with 100 pages of supplements".
If this site ever got *that* serious.. I'd just have to sit back and watch the show.
Good gravy people, some of you act like there are thousands of dollars at stake here every week. |

Maybe because golf is more akin to science, and photography is more of an art (albeit with a good deal of science in it)... What we create are works of art, and art is subjective. IMHO, there should be room for individual interpretation in the rules. If you get a DQ every once in awhile, you learn your limits.
Edited to fix the quote thing, if it worked.

They have been working on golf for 500 years, I'm sure 500 years from now, DPC will have 100s of pages of footnotes, but right now if the SC is working on a few, then that is a good sign. |

Interesting you state that. You see one of my shortcomings in life is that I approach everything I love with a burning passion. I am proud to be a member here and if I see a weakness I give it a good try to correct it. This is not to say that the site is not working on these matters, but again, being a member I like to give my two cents. |

50-100k years ago, we discovered this ability called language. That means we all don't have to learn our limits through personal experience. |
