Q: Writing.SE clamours for graduation

Writing.SE has raised the issue of our desire to graduate a year ago Here it is: we're tired of being a beta site. We believe we have been a consistently successful site, we've been around for more than eight years, we have over 1,000 avid users, we have 100% answered questions, and we get over ...

@gparyani permissable.

@chx it seems crazy, I'm sure travel.se had lower stats than expats when it graduated

maybe not all tho

@gparyani I vote for just no pets - so no pet lions either ;)

How about some bounties, people? we have 9 active ones.

Okay, so let's settle it: theme is "animals interacting with humans or human-made objects", with the restriction that photos of animals that are owned by you or someone you know personally aren't allowed.

@MarkMayo @Willeke What do you think?

I think own animals should be allowed, those of friends for certain. Lets exclude cats/dogs/usual pets in normal pet situations. But include hand reared wild animals.

If you exclude animals owned by OP or friends you exclude a lot of good photos.

Yeah, I forgot about Yvette's

But there's no travel correlation if the animals you're photographing are your own.

Dirty-flow

you can travel with your pets

gparyani

Actually...@Willeke I think we can remove the restriction, and just broadly state that photographs must fit in with the general theme of travel

@Dirty-flow I think this fits in with that.

Dirty-flow

I think what Marc and Willeke want to prevent is tons of photos of cats and dogs

and I am ok with this restriction

gparyani

@Dirty-flow To be clear here, what is your preferred version?

Dirty-flow

No pets, no zoo-animals

gparyani

Okay, I think here's a good rough draft. Theme: animals, interacting with humans or human-made objects, pets and zoo animals disallowed.

No need to impose too many restrictions; submissions that go against the spirit will likely lose the contest anyway.
