Hi, AskPhotography community! Several months ago, based on feedback from users, we made a rule change related to critique requests. The idea was to continue allowing those posts, but only if they were detailed and specific.

As we probably could have expected, monitoring that rule now consumes the largest share of mod time on this sub, and it's not clear that it's actually helping. If anything, the number of critique requests is increasing, and most of them don't follow the new rule.

At this point, we're inclined to simply refer all feedback requests to r/photocritique, which is an excellent sub that exists precisely for these kinds of requests. Users here will still be able to post photos that are relevant to other questions (e.g., exposure, noise, focus, etc.), but general requests for feedback/critique would no longer be allowed.

Please use the poll below to let us know your thoughts on this change, and of course please feel free to comment with any other thoughts or suggestions (either on photo critiques or any other topics). Thanks!
