Hi, AskPhotography Community! We have a couple of new rules to share in our ongoing effort to improve this subreddit as it continues to grow.

First, in an effort to combat the worsening bot situation, we are now requiring flair for all posts. We've updated the flair options, and there are plenty of choices, so please just pick the relevant option and flair your posts.

Second, we have listened to all the recent feedback from this community regarding posts seeking photo critiques. Some of you want to banish those posts entirely, while others are fine with things the way they are today. Many of us are somewhere in the middle, and that's where we've landed in an effort to strike the right balance.

Starting today, requests seeking critique must be detailed and specific, explaining the intent behind the photo and asking for feedback on specific aspects of the photo ("Thoughts?" will no longer cut it). We will also be looking for OP engagement with those who respond to critique requests. Any critique posts lacking detail or follow-up engagement will be removed.

Thanks, and as always, we continue to welcome your feedback.
