Thanks for taking the initiative! I'm happy with the group as it is, personally. As long as the rules are enforced, anyway.

That's been my immediate thinking also. The group has run quite smoothly aside from a couple abusive members ( you have no idea how much trouble removing 50 pages of spam photos from one guy is... ) and they have been / are being removed.
Will be looking to add a couple more admins (so this scenario doesn't happen again) and I hope to run a couple of banner changes and theme ideas. Otherwise carry on as if nothing has changed!

 Slightly Crewed:
If you go into Administration > Members and find the user, you should have an option to remove all of their photos at once when you select Remove or Ban.
I'm willing to help out, if you'd like.

Doug Ensel:
Been doing that, but flickr has had some hiccups and doesn't continue on with the removal. The first one took half a day. Working on the second one, but the auto remove is working (taking three hours) but working.
But thanks for the heads up. Run a few groups, so I do have most of it down thankfully. ;)
If you're willing to help, we are happy to have others on board! I'll send along a message.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with any scripting languages like Python, but the Flickr API (www.flickr.com/services/api/) is very comprehensive and fairly straightforward to use. I do all of my photo tagging/group & album adding etc using a Python script and it saves loads of time. You could probably do a lot of the maintenance including the file deletes from a script. You can certainly retrieve tags, comments, descriptions and exif data on which to base your admin decisions.

Been a hot minute since I used python back when I played with my raspberry pi, but it should come back to me. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.

Slightly Crewed: So glad you took on the roll as Admin. I just recently got back into film and started posting to film groups. My question is whether my path to digital conversion is acceptable? I send my film off to The Darkroom for processing. I then take a photo of the negative with my mirrorless and macro lens. And finally, convert that negative image using Darktable Negadoctor. I always list camera, lens and film info.

 MO Glimpses:
No problems with how you're doing it. You're not alone there either.. Just a little info in the description / tags / etc helps. Usually you can just tell. The questionable ones I'll look at and also check the groups they are submitted in. If it's all film type groups, then I just move on, the spammers usually add them to film, iphone, whatever else digital groups also.
Right now there are no plans to add more rules for submission as aside from a few bad apples the current setup works. But anything you can do to make the job easier is welcomed!
