Not to discourage you, but may I present the most obvious solution - talk to Admin about it.
Admin http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/user_profile.jsp?usernum=2

I did exactly that and I'm not discouraged at all. I can take it or leave it in the end as I can this forum just like everyone here can.

I've been here around four years and have seen too much of this here and I'm wondering if any of them even are photographer's. If that is the case then the true artists here should stand up together IMHO.

The Attic and Chit Chat are not about photography.... (show quote)

I agree with you but this post was on the Up Coming Topics Thread and was at some point yesterday moved I believe.

I very rarely vary from the Main, Gallery or Special Effects Challenge and have never been to the attic.

Besides the point is for real ARTIST'S to stand up and eliminate people who are here for only that type of interaction. Anyone new to this forum will probably be put off by such behavior. So it's up to the long time UHH members to do something or they can do as you suggest by just ignoring these people and this website will soon be full of them.

Aloha M.M.

This is being written to inform as many of you as possible what happens here when you give an opinion on a controversial subject such as politics.

I suggest you read "What I learned from the Democratic Debates" and the comments and also go to Special Effects Challenge to see my CAPITALIZED post.

This website is supposed to be about photography not name calling because you don't agree with someone's opinion.

I'll defend anyone's right to their opinion but will not put up with personal attacks as you'll see by my challenge to any of those people and the name calling which followed.

I've been through too much in life to put up with that type of behavior.

I, unlike them will now apologize to the dog with sunglasses as I should have just said "moronic" not moron.

The only way for this website to stay about photography is for enough people here to let the Administrator know that if it continues he/she will find most of us gone.

I don't have to stay here and there are other website's for real ARTIST'S. I like the people on Swedes Special Effects Challenge and others here and would like to stay but I have no problem leaving if this behavior continues.

Only when people stand up for what is right does anything get done.

BTW, Several people over the last few years have left because of this exact reason and we've lost very good artists because others won't speak up.

So I'll leave this in the hands of all of you to do what's right or not.

Mahalo for your time and Aloha,
MakuaMan

I'll be waiting for you but I'm sure you don't have the guts to show up. Although I wish you would.

BTW, This a PHOTOGRAPHY WEBSITE, It's not really for NON-ARTISTS like you.

Have a good night pineapple head. :mrgreen:

BTW, You and SBW were reported for your foul language. So you and him will hopefully be kicked the heck out of here. There are children that come on this site at times and people with mouth's like yours can be taken care of real easily.

Also if either of you would like to take my challenge which was not a threat, I don't threaten others, your welcome to come and get a lesson. Oh I forgot Cowards who call others names will never do anything because there not capable of anything but name calling. I won't sink to your level.

Be aware that you'll be monitored here weather you like it or not. Also I shared this with my friends here so they know who to avoid.

Experimenting with 16-bit ACR9.2 and PSElements 14 for reprocessing photos shot as JPEGs.

I believe I see material benefits from tweaking recovery and shadow detail, as well as a small shift in color and tint.

All thoughts welcome.

I agree, I'm seeing deeper blues in the tweaked one and maybe less in the green saturation. Been there once in the winter to play music. Too cold!. Nice image.

I've scattered a few of these around the forum but here's a few more for those that are gluttons for punishment. I apologize for those with less than optimal exposure. These are mainly just to show what amazing scenery is in that place. It blew us away.

All shots with Sony A6000 and standard 16-50mm kit lens. I initially didn't think this lens was worth keeping but find myself using it more and more.

Great shots and good composition. You do have spots on your sensor just like I do. I use the clone tool to remove them in PaintShop Pro X6. Photoshop has it also I believe.

Hope you had a great time other than getting sick.
