A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Opinion: posting shots of unidentifiable persons (alien.top)

Context: I recently posted a landscape shot with ant sized people on the distant cliffside (not the subject matter, purely coincidental). They were nude, but no body parts, face, belongings were identifiable, even when zoomed in.
I received a ban. Do you think this was justified?

I'm the big bad mod in question.

If you are posting a photo from a clothing optional site to post online, make sure that there are no people in the shot.

^ That was the message I sent to op, alongside a 7 day ban. Not sure how that comes across as being a two-faced arsehole.

To be clear, I believe people should be able to get their clothes off in appropriate places without the risk of being uploaded to reddit - no matter the resolution of the image in question.
