If you create a new group, you are the one who decide about the rules of your group and only you will have the tools to administrate it. Follow these advices to keep a happy community:

  1. Invitations: The first step to have a well succeeded group is having members! Invite your friends or persons you know with photography as a passion.
  2. Visits: Visit your group frequently. Groups will develop with new photos, comments and answers from members.
  3. Moderation: To have success your group needs a good moderation. So, invite members to help you. Moderators don’t have total administrative power, but they can help you in the control of new photos and comments and they can suspend members who don’t respect the rules.
  4. Suspension: You can suspend temporarily members that are always making quarrels, but they can come again later. Some of them just need a time to think in what they did and then they will regret and change their behaviour.
  5. Expulsions: You can expulse definitively members who don’t regret and keep making quarrels in the group.
  6. Conclusion: If a member uploads or writes something offensive, he should be warning politely.
  7. If that member still has the same behaviour after the warning, he should be suspended.
  8. If he doesn’t change is behaviour after the readmission, he should be expulse definitively.
  9. Sometimes, when a member is expulse he creates another account using another name and come again to the group.
  10. That is acceptable if they don’t have the older behaviour. Meanwhile, people who try to offend, scandalize, siege, harm or irritate members shouldn’t be without warnings, suspensions or expulsions.
  11. These annoying people can destroy a community and sometimes that is their purpose and the best way to deal with is just ignore them.
