I think there should also be some clarification on what 2 means exactly cause it is not really clear. Is it 2 in the submission at the same time? Or is it 2 which make it to the FF and then no more should be posted? The last one is what I thought and it would make sense but I dont think it is clear for everyone
Yes, it's not clear enough. From FAQ : "You are not able to post more than 2 snapshots of the same movie and have more than 3 snapshots simultaneously in the category New Submissions." If "New Submissions" is taken for simultaneous shots AND same movie's shot, that means we can post all shots we want from a single movie, but one at a time in the NewSub part. So the Toy Story shots would be OK. A little bit repetitve, but allowed. Could we have an admin opinion, please ?
I really hope that it means 2 overall, otherwise it is the door open to all the series we see latelly. I dont understand how people can just decide to post the same movie over and over, how boring! I find it irritating, 2 shots overall should be enough and it gives the chance for others to post other shots from the movie at a later stage Btw, there should be a limitation of number of time a movie is seen in a month, really! I'm so tired of seen Toy story or Wall-E, come on, there were posted several times in the past days, what are people thinking? It is a bit like a competition: "I can post a better shot from this movie, you will see..." As soon as someone start posting a famous one, you can be sure there will be some that follows from others, this should be stopped, more diversity PLEASE!
you are all right, the rules say 2 snapshots (all time), but we haven't implemented a barrier for that yet.
and yes, @ chrisy, we're thinking of a way to only allow a certain amount of snapshots from the same movie at the same time @ feature films. It's kinda tricky because it will open the door to cheaters. A captcha in the upload section might do the trick.
I don't mind id somebody wants to post 10 stills from the same movie. I DO mind if these 10 are in one week. If there is a 4 week "barrier" for a user to upload the same movie... could that solve the problem?
I have found out that it's still possible to upload more than 2 shots from each movie... I may say that I'm guilty in uploading 3 snapshots from the same movie, I just thought that the rule not anymore was activated when I uploaded the 3nd shot...
I can not see any problems in people uploading more than 2 shots from a movie, when we already have the rule with max 1 snapshot/movie/week :)
Yeah I have 3 shots from the same movie with more than 79 votes each, so I don't think it's an awesome upload :)! Even though I found out that I have uploaded 3 shots from the same movie twice :P... Don't hope you will delete one of them;)
So awesome uploads don't count to the 2 shots per movie. Question: if my first upload from a movie will be an awesome upload, can I still do the 2 "regular shots" later on? Another thing: when you did 2 (regular) uploads and you try to post a third, i think the upload page give you the same message as when there's no upload slot available. Would be handy to see you already did 2 uploads of that movie instead of just the regular message.
The upload site does give a message that you already have two shots uploaded, but only if there is a slot available. If there are no slots available, that message gets first dibs to annoy you. So you can spend months trying to upload a particular shot and never get a free slot, and then find out that you have already uploaded two :D
