Aster-oid
An Oxford Street Christmas
I have been notified by Flickr Administration that this photostream has now been labeled "moderate" as a result of a Flickr member reporting some photo of mine as offensive or whatever...
I am not the first one and I am not the only one in such a position - some of my best Flickr friends and contacts have gone through this in the past.
I strongly object to this kind of action. If someone, anyone, has a problem with any picture of mine - or anyone elese's for that matter - they should contact their author and state their objections and maybe convince that author to change the picture label himself.
On the other hand, Flickr Administration also should not take unilateral decisions without consulting with the Flickr members invollved first... and, also, in my humble opinion, they should refrain from labeling a whole photostream of about 4.000 pictures as "whatever" based on the content of a single picture.
For those interested in participating in an open discussion on this extremely important issue, I have opened a thread in the Flickr Help Forum:
