I started a discussion in the pointless thread, didn't actually wanted to start one but i did so i thought better to make a separate thread out of it.
It's about Pentax only images and that we should write down the rules that apply on this forum.
I'm going to quote two comments, one from fatspider (Alan) and one from me so that we can start off from there.

But i all honestly like I've said against John we should put the guidelines and rules that aren't in the terms of use clearly somewhere on the forum because because the situation how it is now is not clear not even for members that are around for years.
And in the past year there have been several discussion about the Pentax only rule.
Many find it superb that it is applied in the gallery sections and competitions but many also think this rule must be taken lightly in other parts of the forum.
I understand this a Pentax forum but we also have idle chats here and we also talk about photography in general and some leeway for that would be great i think, as long as we would not be comparing Nikons and Canons with each-other...
But this all is not something to discuss here so let it rest for a moment and maybe after the weekend start a little topic to see if we can make some clear black and white guidelines for the forum. Unless someone think that's a bad thing?
btw have you ever looked at the Chinees Pentax forum, they never have brand wars and things like that... hell some members even post photos they have made with their Nikon or Canon and all they get is good replies... Maybe it's we who need to change and be more open?
Are we Pentaxian because we used Pentax or because we hate other brands?
Just to prove my point link
Maybe we should all come together and smoke a joint, i'm sure that will help

Can we move on please. I suggest that, John and Stefan, if you could continue this disagreement could you communicate through the messages system, then we can just get back to inane useless banter here.
Please don't fall out, after all this is a light hearted thread (mostly!).
John and I are already having a beer while you're having a heart attack over the matter I feel I've just walked into a war zone!

All the points you raise Stefan have been discussed before.
Ask yourself this; do you want this to be a Pentax Forum or just "Another" Forum, because thats just what it would become if we allowed the display of images made with other brands, it would just get out of hand.
I agree that there are occasions when a non Pentax image slips in and is ignored by the moderators, they are simply taking into account the circumstances and the source/nature of the image and applying a little common sense.
I think this one on this page is a prime example link

You know how good I'm with words I like the term digital lens.
With digital lenses i meant lenses designed for digital camera's just incase you missed it

Well the lens was always called magical.The designer of the 31mm Ltd may never have realised that it didn't need to be sharp at the edges? Since it's mostly shot through the sweet spot nowadays.

That's a fair point but you will still make some losses... just test the focal length, if that works out for you i'm sure the FA 31mm would be a good lens.My other reasoning is that since the lens is so popular, it wouldn't be too difficult selling it.

John this the third time I bumped against this so I want to have it all clear now so that it don't happen again.
If I give it a rest then I'm pretty sure it will accidentally happen for the fourth time.
Actually if you go back in this thread i'm sure you can find that i 3 times if not more breached that "guideline"...

The copyright permitted you could copy and distribute it.
The only reason it isn't allowed on here is because it wasn't make with a Pentax or maybe it was... I don't know do you?
We already had this discussion before.

All the points you raise Stefan have been discussed before.
Never heard anyone say that we should write down the rules.
Ask yourself this; do you want this to be a Pentax Forum or just "Another" Forum, because thats just what it would become if we allowed the display of images made with other brands, it would just get out of hand.
There are some members here that also shoot with another brand and i would love to see the photos they shoot with the other brand camera (the person is more important than the brand right?) but i don't intend to follow them also on another forum just to do that.
That's how i see it but i'm here for the company of other Pentax shooter and for photography in general.
I accept that others might be here for other reasons and that's why I don't want the forum to change but making the members slightly more important then Pentax on the forum might not be such a bad thing.
Just look when somebody says here on the forum that they are changing brands on how some members react, it's very disappointing and i wonder if the forum has something to do with it.

This a part what John send me yesterday.
-comment removed as private message content not allowed in forum, it is always private-
This has already been discuss several times and from those discussion you read that many would like to see that rule is not taken so black and white when it doesn't concern the galleries on the forum or the competition.
