[Meta] Important announcements for /r/ITookAPicture

Hello all!First off, I'd like to thank the community for all the great work that you've all been submitting and taking photos of! The quality is definitely improving in my eyes, so keep it up!But let's talk:We've noticed an increase in photos being posted where the submitter is not the actual photographer (which defeats the whole purpose of I took a picture.) So please if you see a photo that is a photo that you believe is not original content please report it and send us a message to the mods why you've reported it please! The action will be the post removed and the user banned, no exceptionsTHIS IS NOT /r/Pics! Don't just post a quick shot that you took that has no photographic value. From the side barPlease do not bother submitting if you are not going to reply to comments! Also, paintings, illustrations, and snapshots or images with little photographic value do NOT belong hereA lot of the space is being cluttered by honestly photos that aren't appropriate here and more strict of enforcement will be enforced to get rid of the garbage, because it is necessary. Again, do you see a photo that doesn't belong here and doesn't show any effort or is a simply snapshot? Please report itSubmitters: Please, post your camera details or EXIF data, especially if you use Imgur, as it strips all EXIF data. Also please check out the comments of the post because a lot of the time, the community has questions on certain things that they would like answered. From the sidebarOnly pictures taken by the submitter belong here, so users can directly interact with the photographer.Lastly, inappropriate comments about sex, race, religion, or anything ignorant or inappropriate will be removed and if it is serious enough for a ban, you will be bannedThank you for listening, and we look forward to the great content and better submissions and rules to be enforced! - Mod Team via /r/itookapicture http://ift.tt/Xdrwx2
