XTreme Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Some changes for next month onwards so we can finally end the monthly soap opera surrounding this poll. 1. All photos must be in Landscape format because portrait shots mess up the front page view by lengthening the page to a ridiculous extent. And it makes mobile navigation hard going. Plus, they're usually ridiculously small......we can display shots at 1500px yet Rich's is only 648px. That means there's huge gaps at either side....and it makes the place look very amateurish. If you want to see your bike on the front page then it's in your interest to get the best shot possible. 2. Any Photo manipulation will result in disqualification of the member for that respective month. 3. Any photos that are entered and found to be old photos will result in disqualification of the member for that respective month. 4. Only ONE pic can be posted.......you have the option to replace the pic if you change your mind later so you've got no need to post multiple ones. 5. @Buckster will be handling BOTM from March on......as he has the technical knowledge to pick up on any irregularities. It goes without saying that there's no point in expecting any flexibility from him. We want the absolute best pic on the front page (irrespective of bike) to make this place look attractive to new members, So try and do your bit to make that happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you've noticed I'm the one that's always nuking Spammers (3 in the last week) so I'm delegating BOTM to their department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Don't agree with no 2 there was lengthy debate about it a while ago and it fell in favour of allowing it. A pretty pics a pretty pic regardless of whether someone technicoolured it or not. Not that it matters to me cos I've never entered 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with brightening, or making minor adjustments to a pic........but when it goes to the point that some inner city hellhole is transformed into a scenic paradise then it goes too far. @Buckster can make the call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I thought BOTM is supposed to be a bit of fun that the members vote on so the pic that the members like best will be on the front page, sorry its all going too serious for me so i shall not be entering from now on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of it is what Pete has decided 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is the members vote on it so it doesn't matter if its Bucksters bike on the moon or a shit bike in a fantastic scene the members decide what they want on the front page by voting every month, if i want to enhance a photo and its not to someones liking then they don't vote for it just seems simple to me 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, and not wanting to sound macho-machistic or anti/in favour anything and running the risk of offending someone, if you want to atract more members you need pictures of girls scantily dressed draped over motorcycles!! More of those and numbers will grow exponentially!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
