Flickr Group Limit Awareness
Note: I'm now only participating in groups without the new limit in place.
This is an awareness post for group moderators and group users as well.
By default, Flickr groups now restrict photos that are posted to them by reducing the number of groups the photo can be posted to. You can opt out of this with a quick setting change..
Flickr did not go out of their way to let group moderators know about this change which, in my opinion, is an arbitrary and unnecessary restriction. I think Flickr thrives when it is least restrictive. Group moderators can still choose which photos appear in their group using the posting limits and approval settings that are already available even without this restriction.
There is a very long forum thread about this here: www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157687569376472
