Yes, pictures speak louder than words, but without pictures, sometimes there silence and thats not good. :!:

This is to do nothing but to make everyone aware of the perspectives, both sides. For those not to be afraid to post without photos, and for those to keep the photos coming when u have them!

I agree, and I have made a few no pics comments in jest but I have also defended threads that had no pics too a few times. Still, I would never want to think someone would not wish to share because of no photos. A favorite recipe thay used even if the camera failed (Or whatever reason) but they wanted to let us in on would be enough too. Or any other information that we could find useful within our own experiences.

Phil, I propose we make a similar thread about Thermapens. I have heard people try to claim that any other color besides Orange is acceptable. I just don't know how much more of this I can stand!:twisted:

Fixed that for you.
 
I was reluctant to post for a long time because of the no pic things.My main helper at cookoff's wont post on any forum because of it, which is a shame because he cooks beautifully.
This is an awesome forum.
 
You painted a very clear picture of your feelings on this subject. :)

Pics are great, but don't hold back posting just because you don't have any.

You know I'm a big enough man to admit I did that today to Todd Ras and I apologize if it was taken offensively. I of course meant nothing negative it was all in fun and I hope my apology is accepted. I completely agree with Poobah and I do the same thing about not posting cooks if I forgot to take pics. I feel like no one wants to hear about it without seeing it as well. I will be a better brethren from now on.

i dont think your post was taken offensively at all, and I also did not see it yet. :) So please dont think this came about from your posting.


The moderating team has been discussing this privatly for a few days. It was THEY who looked at it from several different perspectives and brought it out. When i read some of their comments, i realized it wasn't just me and now we say something. I'd like to publicly throw some kudos at them for being proactive and not let this just fester silently.
 
Hey, I like the pictures for learning and for inspiration, but no one should feel like they shouldn't post because of them...well a few people should always post pictures- like Rick, Ross, and Jeanie :) But, only of pork - because only pork is BBQ :) <ducking mod>
 
ok, you guys asked for it. Wait till I show you my crappy looking stuff, you'll be pleading for me to not show again.

Yeah, I am a bad smoker of meat and man enough to admit it. I'll just live vicariously through those that know what they're doing.

I know what you mean PoobaH but many times (for me) pics speak louder than words...just saying.

You didn't just ask yourself for pictures, did you? :-D

BTW, I agree that pics speak louder than words, and I love the pics, but I also love the descriptions and procedures and ingredient lists, especially if it is something that i have never made before. In some cases, that type of info is more important than pics.
 
Phil,

So then what you are trying to say is that "sometimes it's okay to buy a girlie mag just for the articles?" :twisted:

Funny how I think about it now that you brought it up, but many times I've not posted either because I didn't have pics......I'm still working on pics for the caulking thread, but that's another story. You are right. Many new members might get the wrong idea or impression when they are ribbed for not having pron. We should encourage posting without pics also. I must say that your "Farking Fawoosh" thread would have even more enjoyable with said pron though!:wink::-D
Keep up the great Modding!

i got to tell you i was offended by the guy that said posting photos was lame.
 
Amen. And I thought I was the only one that just was kind of tired of that mantra.
 
Thinking out loud here.......ive been doing bbq on a Klose pit since 2001, been a member here since 05-06 dont remember.
I learned just a couple years ago how to post photos here.....middle age man.

I do quite a bit of bbq yet dont have my camera here at home as wife uses it for her work ocasionaly.

I too was intimidated during my first couple of years here not knowing or not having the equipment to post photos of my cooks.
We just got an air card a couple years ago which was a huge help in even posting a picture from time to time.
Hell I could not even view half the photos with dial up service here.

I believe I too was chastised for not posting photos but am glad I did not leave the greatest forum on the planet!

There are a few examples of why I did not post photos for some time, im sure there are others who are in the same situation that I was in.

Thanks Phil!

You know, I can take ribbing for not posting pictures. What hacks me off is when someone complains that I didn't post enough pictures of a cook - or that the pictures were not high enough in quality.

How did you know I was gonna post that before I posted it?

NO pics on the caulking thread!

i'm not talking about the caulking thread.

i intentionally didn't take photos and did not post text or photos of some cooks because of the rant on here and in a personal blog saying posting photos for responses was lame and the responses were lame as well. i thought that was the whole purpose of qtalk. maybe i just don't understand.
