I was a little surprised to see this image DQ'd for "added text":



Only text I can see is the time/date stamp, which the camera placed on the image. I was always under the impression that this is not "adding text" since it is a part of the original file straight from the camera?

That does seem odd... I will investigate! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Hmmmm.... there's an interesting one for debate!

I must say I agree with you Robert.

My guess would be the wrong explanation for the DQ. If the time stamp is correct, it's a date/time violation as the picture was taken before the challenge was announced.

Nobody agrees with you. Anything "In Camera" is supposed to be legal.

As far as I can remember date stamps were always disqualified.

Nope, I asked about it once and was told that since it was done in camera it would not be DQ'ed.

freakin-hilarious got it right.. date violation was the real reason. Just a clerical error.

Look at the date on the image. It's 3/29/2007, which means the picture was taken before the submission date. The photograph was taken out of the dates allowed. The announcement date of the challenge was not until 4/11/2007

You have very discerning taste. :)

That was brought up in another thread a while ago and it is something I do not agree with at all.

Date violations are cause for a DQ?
Not always

We don't go back and retroactively DQ images where we had no way to know or investigate the dates at the time of the challenge or a reasonable time thereafter. So yes, images probably DO stay in challenges even though the are out of date. Put simply, we start with the honour system and hope people read and abide by rules, and we have a more or less random check/reasonable suspicion system to monitor and enforce the date rule.

Of course no statement on DPC is ever 100% true... :)

DQ'd from the Landscape II challenge two months later...

I see nothing to indicate when that photo was DQ'd, but thanks for the super supportive post! I suppose "reasonable time" is a fixed number in your mind.

Welcome to DPC Bee! Better luck next time buddy. Perhaps a quick flick through the rules and such may be beneficial ;-)

That one was DQ'd because of EXIF tampering. That was the beginning of the "Cheaters Don't Actually Prosper" era. :)

Is it? Or is that her current challenge showing up in real time?

p.s. you should never violate your date unless they're into that kinda thing
