Your proposal solves some problems regarding image content on POB.

For downvote rules as in general, they will get a downvote if they post pictures on Google or take other people's pictures.

Do you mean images that are NOT original will receive a downvote? How would users indicate they took the image?

• In @onealfa's posts, he indicates the type of camera or camera/lens he uses.
• In other posts people would make a blanket statement that they captures all the images and list the camera they used.
• I use the above as standards of whether or not to vote on an image.

I think one or the other standard would be fine.

• Also, I like your word limit as it doesn't end up being just images slapped in to a post.
• I would love to read about the thoughts the photographer had or WHY they selected the images. \
• 300 words doesn't seem that bad.

So, can people take pictures of whatever they want? What about image quality? Ah, I'm reaching at this point. I like your proposal. The proposal part would be your request for either funding or curation trail support from @proofofbrainio. It will work, man. Once you get all the kinks worked out, then you can start running contests.
