Over a month ago, we alerted the Photography Lovers Community that we would begin to mute users that are still active on Steemit and Blurt. This was a tough decision, but the right one to make for our Community. We explained our reasoning and went over all the details in this post, COMMUNITY RULES UPDATE for PHOTOGRAPHY LOVERS, and even more details and explanation in the Comment Section.

To be fair and balanced, we gave a generous amnesty period where users could decide which path forward was best for them. This time was allotted so that anyone with funds over there could Power Down and liquidate their position without being in a rush. This time was also afforded so that some users would be able to make up their minds without pressure. This time is coming to a close.

If you missed the Rule Updates then please go read that post and the comment section to get the information you need to make the best informed decisions for your own future here, in Photography Lovers, as a user. We hate to have to mute anyone, unless they choose not to follow our Community Rules and Guidelines.

Since this change and community action is coming very soon, i would suggest getting your HIVE house in order if this rule change applies or affects you personally. Time is limited now, and the clock is ticking as we count down to muting those that choose not to abide here by this change of rule.

We will not be curating single-image posts, especially with little to no description. This community is focused on high-quality content, which includes what surrounds the images you share here.

While they are welcome in the community, WE DO NOT CURATE cross-posts.

Since we will begin to mute accounts active on Steemit and Blurt soon, it's time to pick a side. If you are muted from Photography Lovers, there are plenty of other Photo Oriented Communities you are still welcome to use on HIVE.

I understand that some are community leaders and have spent years building those and developing connections on Steem. I respect their decision to not abandon that hard work. However, we cannot have a double standard here and when we take executive action... they will be muted.

We appreciate your time reading this and want to thank all of you that have already made your choices and have decided to solely commit to your endeavors here, on HIVE. We love all of our community users and members and appreciate you all. Without you... there would be no COMMUNITY!
