RE: Want Kind Of Forum Would You Like To Start?
I've actually got something in the pipeline that I'm working on called photomag. I'm going to base the content of the site on posts that have been upvoted by certain accounts. Human curation of the content, making the site more like a fully edited magazine (as in, "run by a group of editors"). For me at the moment, the only way that you can get a good collection of quality content into one place is to manually curate and moderate (similar to what we are going to get with communities i suppose). I just want a place where photographers can submit great photos, tutorials, articles, blogs etc without their work both, a) getting lost in a sea of shitposts and b) get rewarded for submitting their work to @photomag.
Nice! Have you looked into @photofeed? Maybe there is something there for you guys to cooperate with.
Yeah, I actually already vote on a lot of the photofeed stuff with my curie direct follow/photomag account. Even before the site is created, I'm trying to build a following and get some rewards out there for the use of the tag, but as I'm sure you know, it's a ton of work to find good, original and engaging content in the photography area. Any successful tag quickly becomes a river of plagiarism and shitposts in the hope of fooling people into giving a big upvote.
yeah...that's why we need some form of moderation interface to get rid of those people. That's what I'm hoping the Wordpress/Steem model will allow to ban and curb spam. Hivemind is going in that direction too.
