Why this group changed and is not private now?

I saw that the seeting of group changed and now all people in Zorpia can visit group and copy all our own photos, and very easier. That means we don't have now protection of our photos in our own albums. Not need to be member to do that.
I hope this group come back soon in private

We want to grow our group faster. We believe that by changing our group from private to protected, more people will get to see our photos and thus joining us. We made the decision for a better group.
In order to grow our group, we made necessary changes. We hope you are patient and stick with us during our changes.
And I suggest everyone to add a watermark to your own photos if you don't want people to use it without crediting you.
Thank you for your support!
Monica

I think it's not a good solution, the group have more 690 members and just perhaps 10 take part (or taked part in group), have more members is just good for Zorpia or Wikipedia or photbucket, but sure not for the group. The group need member who give concils, or comment albums. It's really sure not for make the group better, but will profite to other. This decision is not the good for the group. It's sincerly my deep feeling

In my opinion this group should be public, so that, we could see more and more beautiful photos from other zorpians. The privacy policy in this group is as usual, like other groups in the internet. I believe restricting other zorpians didn’t mean that our photo is secure. None the less if this group is restricted for other zorpians then what is the purpose of this group???
It is true that we have 690 members and very few of them are active, so the group should take some initiative to encourage all old & new members.

Taofiq, believe me Monica, Mal and even Yannick and other friends here send messages to members to encourage them, but i'm with to contribute in this groupe or have the choice ( if i dont have a camera or else) to see beautiful photo....for the pleasure of eyes :)
This doesnt mean that non active members are useles!!! at the contrary i'm happy that they come from time to time to see albums and enjoy( which is one of the purposes of my groupe).
On the other hand, a public groups" in my opinion but i must be sure of that"could post non authorised photos, and we cant block him/her...and that ....i dont allow...at all.
Thanks for your contributions, with dialogue we improove this groupe...and thanks to that we are the most big amateur groupe on internet.

That will not change anything Taofiq if the group is public,be sure. The group neeed to stay private, not need members more, because they don't joint group to take part, just to meet by this way other people. The group need to have members who comment more in albums, give concils about photographs we take, "hat is good, what can be more good". Have 2000 members more? for what? more 690 just 10 take part, We must be realistic. It's my opinion.

The difference is important my friend. Now all in Zorpia can look our albums, and also in Wikipedia and other site. In private not, they must be member.

Hey Yannick, I kind of feel the same about others stealing out photos and such but what I am starting to do is putting my name or something on it so hopefully it will tell them "hey its mine not yours" that type of thing.
But I think it is a good move because I believe it is a good thing we are expanding. I guess it is the same on any other site, if you post pics on facebook or any other social site people could still take them. But I guess it is a thing we will have to get used to.
Cheer up. Smile lol

That is a good idea Mal, and i'm with the idea also to be not parano so much!
I dont mind if someone copy my photos, i'm not professional it is only for the pleasure and for the fun!
Maybe only 10 on 690 are active, but i know that a lot comes here each day and looks to albums....you dont imagine how much.
Thank you Mal for all the work you ald Monica did..

You are right Sam ,and I said exactely that. I dont care if my photos are copied, I am not so professional. And even my professional works I will share with my friends. Like this I will spread my photos. And with the others photos I learned so much!

Yes, since TWO years since i creat this groupe i didnt find anybody copying photos for commercial purposes!
In the contrary, i will be happy if someone copy mines for his personal uses!! why not!! i will proud of my photos!
plus our photos in this groupe have a signature ( date and time and camera signature) so i dont see where we can be afraid!
For whom their photo are so apreciate and so expensive to expose....i dont see why they expose them here where they could be stolen!
Professionals have other things than exposing them here.

I know I am not a pro at this either but sometimes on the really good ones I have and if someone takes it and says it is their own and they did not take it sometimes it bugs me, but that is just me. Hey! Back last summer I tried taking "human"pics of ppl so I will post them.... I dont know if they are good but i tried ahaha

My opinion is that there is no diffrence at all between making the group private or public from the poit of stealing the photos HOW !!??
If some one wants to steal it is easy to join the group and then steal what he/she wants and then leave the group.
So it is okay like that in my eyes.

You are right Khaled and we know that members can easily do that to steal the photos. As we are "cleaning" the group, we noticed that many members made an id in zorpia, joined the group and then, never more back! Photos on net are not safe at all :)
