Imageshare Showcases/Story work

[JimboUK]

Good point. I am ambivalent on top images although would be nice to find something that showcases images with more diversity for all the various shares.

 

I do agree that there should be a limit, I've just looked at the Skyrim one and let's just say that one person is overrepresented and it's certainly keeping better images out, but checking the New Vegas one I found the top 27 had 16 different authors which seems fair enough, the FO4 one isn't much different and you gotta love the FO3 supporters section......

I know it's a "showcase and story tellers image sharing" topic but it quickly moved on the TI thing, so...

Make a "One image per author at a time" system looks like a good idea, but soon you will have a 27 authors circle who will do whatever they can to keep the TI for them and we will be at the same point : lobbying wins.

Today with an endorsement based system, no "anonymous" or newcomer good image author can have the 60+ endo needed to be in the TI (a couple of years ago anyone could be in the TI with +/- 25 endo. Then the multi account auto endorsement givers came ( not even banned when caught by the patrol...) and we reached the 40+ endo step, already hard to reach. And the monster is still growing).

You MUST be a member of the clan, meaning you have no other chance than paying the toll and give automatic endorsements to the first circle and maybe become one of the chosen (But only if you are not too talented. Talent is dangerous for them, it's like light and garlic you know...).

Sorry, when I talk about TI, I mean "The Ista and friends showroom"... saying the name and the facts will not kill me I hope, but I'm not the kind of person who says "someone" when I can give a name. And we all know who we are talking about here. I'm already more or less blackmailed here so I don't care about tar and feathers...

I have nothing against the authors and their court and I've seen one or two nice shots made by them every now and then, but what? 99% of their shots in something called "Top Image"?? nah...sorry, no way.

And now we have people who start to become what they are complaining about to get a chance to be in...

Some said I'm a good screenshot maker (I prefer to say I'm not a too bad one and it's already too much) and in 4 years, less than 10 of my images reached the top among more than 1000.

Please make a random showroom, kick that "Top" named narcissistic things away. Building something which is not based on endorsements and lobbying is the only way to have a bit of diversity.

We will see crappy shots in that kind of TI or random thing? Yes that's true, but come on... we already see crappy shots in the TI all the time.

Maybe I ask too much for what should be considered as a "Top screenshot" but today I don't see more than 5 really good images in the TI.

If a random system gives visibility to other authors, I'm in. A lot of good authors quickly stop to share because they don't get the feedback they deserve, lost in the robotic 10 pic/day spamming.

Having a chance to be seen a bit more will prolly make them keep on sharing and improve their art. That's the kind of thing I would like to see.

Now, coming back to the original topic, I love a good showcase, pictures based stories, but I've seen recently series of 50 and more extra images with links to authors "previous work" (again, just to get a bit more endos' ... sorry, I stop with that point)

Scrolling down for half a dozen of nice images is fine, but 40 or 50 and even more... Why? There should be a limit for that thing too imho.

That's just an "average user" opinion.

Keep up the good work guys but please change the rules.

If the spamming can be dealt with it would help, a new user can upload the best image ever but if it's buried under a mountain of garbage it's not even going to get seen let alone endorsed. Those who have been here a while will have followers who get notified when they upload an image, that gives them a huge advantage over the new guy who has to hope that some clown doesn't come along and dump ten images on top of his. That said, we should not be making huge changes to deal with one dysfunctional imageshare, this site more than just Skyrim.

It's not only Skyrim... The same is already happening on Witcher3 and FO4 image share and TI. Same people, same result. You see the exact same group of persons endorsing a couple of their "VIP club" or "happy few" friends.

Make a favorite system, no top. Who really need a top ? Ego ego ego...

It's not happening on the FO4 one, there are around 20 authors in the top 27 and the Witcher 3 top images only needs four endorsements to get into, if you only allow one top image per person the Witcher 3 top images will be full of rubbish.

I think overall it would be a great Idea to get an easy to access Guide compiled that covers both the technical aspects of what the Nexus is capable of doing in the Image Share section concerning Images in the Description / several Images in one Post aswell as possibly even Screenshot Taking Tips and Tricks and a Story Board Guide included in it; as for those the only "guides" on the Nexus I'm aware of are two comparably old and more or less rarely visited Forum Threads. I really appreciate that it seems that such a project is in the works as I think it might prove very usely for both new users of the Image Share/Nexus aswell as more seasoned Users that do not (yet) know how to go about making Sets of Images or how to best get started in a Story Line.

 

Now; while I can't say I have read every post in this Thread there are some points I would like to state my own opinion on. Beginning with the one that struck me most as I personally tend to link several Images in the Descriptions of my Image Uploads; at times going "slightly overboard" with it. Kaldaar did mention that a certain length limit should be added for the overall length of posts; and there I strongly disagree. All such a limit would do is force people that would exceed it with their Sets to post several posts at once; split up over the Images. As it; in my mind; would not discourage those longer Sets but simply get people to post two; three; four smaller sets in a very short amount of time and therefore adding to the overall speed of Image Section Flow instead of slowing it down.

 

I can understand that it might be tedious for a Viewer to go through a Set of 20; 30; 40 or even more Images in an seemingly endless Stream of Images - but here is the Thing - if such a Set is compiled by a User that User has the intention to post those Images - so imposing a "length limit" of say 10 Images would just mean that the overall amount would be spread over several Posts; which in my mind is even more "tedious" to watch if the Intention to watch those Images is present. I think the length of a post should be up to the individual uploader; and only to that Uploader. For those that do not want to; or can not afford to; go through such a lengthy post there is already a simple solution in place - simply skipping that particular Image Post once it is clear that it exceeds the Viewers "reasonable amount" of Images. At least that is my view on that particular matter.

 

Concerning the Limitation of 1 Image per Uploader in the Top Image Section - I personally think such a change wouldn't solve any problems; as already mentioned. In an active Share like the Skyrim Image Share it would widen the Amount of Members in the Top Section to 27 instead of 5-15 depending on the current Month/Day. With the overall amount of People posting Images that is hardly a change that Matters; in my honest opinion. Neither do I think any limitations imposed on the way the System works would change anything. As I see it - those using (and possibly abusing) the current System do so for one thing - Internet "fame"/"recognition" - with that in Mind; I do not think the Amount of Images in the Top Section Matters - having even 1 Image in there matters. From that Viewpoint it doesn't change anything. As I see it: As long as there will be any kind of "Highlight" System in place there will be People around that will find a way to use that System to get their "recognition" fix for the Day/Week/Month.

 

What I'm trying to say with all that is basically this: Any System that Highlights Images posted while being based on User Input; no matter it's Restrictions in Place; will be used the same way it is now; only with a marginally broader base of People that benefit from it. So in my mind there are two ways to deal with the Issue(given; it is only really an Issue in the Skyrim Image Share - but that is part of Skyrim's far more active Image Share): 1) Remove Top Images alltogether - do not replace it with anything - simply let the Images flow through the normal share. That way there is no system to be "inside the selected few" and no real reason to "abuse" the System that is based on User Input - as there is no "best circle" to aim for. 2) Leave the System as it is; as I think even a 1 Image per User Restriction will not fix the Image Share for Skyrim; but will hit the other Parts of the Nexus unreasonably hard.

 

Where I do however agree is that it might be necessary to overhaul or improve the Rules for Posting. I do in particular think that a List of Mods/Armors (in particular for Skyrim) that are not allowed to be posted should be compiled and kept up to date; easily accessable; as I find it a bit .. shall we say .. discomforting .. if one can not be certain if an off site Armor is allowed to be shown. As a User it is nearly impossible to keep up with all the "underlying" problems that might be relevant to a certain Amor/Mod and as such it can be like walking a Mine Field to post Armors/Mods that are not hosted here for whatever Reason the Author might have had to not host them here.

 

Another Point is that Nudity as such might need Revision; either under the Adult Tag as it is; or under a new Tag "non sexual Nudity" (bad name for it; but the point should be clear) - Images depicting Sexual Content should stay on the Supporter Side; but I think it is unreasonable to have Images of beheadings and generally Violence of some excessiveness allowed under the Adult Tag; but for example a Character taking a Bath after a Long Day of Traveling is an Issue? That to me makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe that is related to specific UK Laws; as I understand that the Nexus has to uphold those; which I as a non UK-based User am not aware of. If that might be the Case I would appreciate if those Laws in their specific Statements would be included in the Rules to make it easier to understand the reasoning behind those Regulations for the Image Share.

 

And before this gets any longer I will stop myself here.

 

Aftertought Edit:

 

Where I do however see a benfit in a X number / user restriction is overall Posting in the Image Share - specifically Skyrim. If say a User could only post once a day with a limit of 5 posts per Week I think that would slow down the Skyrim Image Share quite a lot; and therefore allow some great Images that are easily missed now a chance to be seen while encouraging the individual poster to only post what they see as their best - and not just anything just for the sake of posting - but maybe that might just be me who already doesn't post "too much" in regards of "time against uploads".

Well started work on a guide this week - whether it should be uploaded as a tutorial mod (what I plan on at the moment) or as a Wiki I am not sure. The mod I think has a few more options to be found versus the Wiki. But I need to learn more about how one updates a Wiki and such this weekend. No ETA though as I have many projects going on right now.

 

I like the idea of no top images at all. I suppose people will still post a lot of images to try and be seen but they do that anyway. Wonder if they could hide it just for Skyrim? or just get rid of it on all shares since I am not sure what its purpose is really (but I understand its Skyrim that tends to have the biggest issue being the most popular). I can see it for mods as it actually works pretty well for mods. But human nature and social connections tends to create more issues on the image share as mods are far more limited and something that is used versus viewed - so people are less likely to endorse or vote for a mod unless they really like it.

 

I also think it is important to remember quality and beauty of an image is subjective and everyone has there own idea of what constitutes a "good" image post - funny, sensitive, artsy, romantic, a story, a landscape, a mod highlight, etc. Not to mention the person posting it may see it as something beautiful even if some others do not. Or the simple fact that many folks like over-sexed well endowed females/males in barely any armor and always endorse those when its clear that the quality of those shots is very subjective. Note not saying anything wrong with that either. I am a very strong supporter of the Manly Monday posting theme myself :p

 

I have mixed feelings about random images being selected for the TI. On the plus side if they stayed there for a week or two it would be a great way to highlight posts without bias. Not sure how folks would feel about it being random as far as the subjective quality of the shots but it could be fun to just see what gets tossed up there every week. The down side is it could promote more spamming to try and increase the odds of being randomly selected and it isn't that different from just browsing the image flow to begin with.

 

I am curious what ideas people can come up with to combat human nature. I am not even talking about the negative aspects involved here. I am just talking about the fact that some people are social and friendly and because of that they make a lot of friends and thus get a lot of support. I don't think anyone should be hated on simply because they have the time, and inclination, to be social on the image share. Skyrim is a big community and a large part of that is the social aspects, both good and bad. The image share is very social area, at least for Skyrim, and people make friends there which disrupts the idea behind TI being just about the images. You get into issues of support, social obligation, and feelings. I have never really seen a good answer to this problem short of removing it or cutting down on how many images can be in it at one time per user - which I think would still help even if it doesn't solve the problem entirely. Ideally it should just be about fun; sharing your enthusiasm and enjoyment of a hobby you like with friends and the community.

 

Ah well no easy answers I suspect.

[Anataron]

Very well worded Wolfgrimdark; while I fully agree concerning the subjective nature of "Quality" I think there are some points to be made that are comparably objective so to speak - HUD Elements Cluttering the View - FOV choices that do not show any detail whatsoever in a shot .. to make examples - a facial portrait at fov 90 isn't the best idea and a landscape panorama style shot doesn't work too well on fov 5 ... a modded hud fully cluttering the image and hiding half of the Image - things Like that :wink:

 

I also agree on your points concerning the Social Nature; but I think a combination of several changes might work to "counter" that .. for one make the Top Images; if they are kept; not rotate on a monthly but a weekly basis - limit the amount of top images to 1 / user(edit: if possible only for skyrim to avoid hitting other; less rapidly flowing/active parts of the nexus from being hit unreasonably hard) - limit the amount of images to 1 / day + 5 / week .. that way the overall trafic is slower; already increasing chances that a greater variety of users get a chance to have their work seen; limiting the amount of spots a person can take up in the top images and having them cycle quicker through .. But of course all of that would have to be carefully adjusted - just throwing out a few numbers to make a point about Ideas .. but as you said; there is no real solid or easy answer for it ... If there is even a way that can not be used/abused in some way or another.. Guess we will all have to wait and see what the Nexus Staff will eventually decide on and implement :wink:

[StandAlone97]

I see that my random images idea was not explained properly. My fault... I meant every time you clicked on the random image section it would select a new group of photos from the past two weeks. So you could click it multiple times to see a variety of stuff, Much like a random playlist with music etc.

I suppose you could attempt to spam images to abuse that however I think with the Skyrim imageshare activity that would be difficult. However without the listing and competition effect that the top images generate I don't think this would be an issue.

 

The problem right now is Persona A posts an image, because this person has many friends they get enough endorsements to hit the top. Then that image gets way more traffic and soon it's at the top, anything they post afterword will naturally get more views from them having a set in the top. Thus it will get more endorsements and also have much higher chance of getting into the top. Snowball effect. There have been certain users at times that would post a set in and be in the Top images the same day they posted. Now when you combine that with some one who posts very regularly they began taking over majority of the spots available.

 

Wolf is right the issue is the social aspects of the Skyrim image share. The active people who have the free time to maintain a large social group will continue to dominate the top images as they do currently. So if you can't play the game... Just accept that no matter how good your set is a single shot of some glass jar with a butterfly in it will get 100 endorsements and you'll get jack.

 

Having looked at the other image shares, I'm inclined to agree with Jim I don't think any change should be done with those. The Fallout 4 imageshare will be more of a wait and see on how active it becomes. As there are some repeat authors but nothing overboard like the current Skyrim TI.

 

@Alex; Currently it's every two weeks. I think a weekly cycle and 1 slot per person would improve things to some degree.

@Wolf; The mod would give you nice gauge on if it was helping people plus allow an open dialogue for questions/additions in the comment area perhaps. However the wiki would be more readily accessible, information wise.

[wolfgrimdark]

Ah well a random image list like you describe StandAlone also sounds cool. A bit of a roulette. I think the idea of the randoms lasting for a week (or X days), however, as it gives them time to be seen by more folks and hence exposes them more. I was thinking the idea would be a way for people to get their work exposed to many people and hence allow for interest to be gathered. If people saw X image (regardless of how often they posted) and said - wow I like that! Lets check out their gallery. After doing so they might go - nice selection of images I think I will track them for a while. Or they may go ... hmm not really interested. Of course anyone could do that with a pure random choice each time ... but that removes the plus that having a few days exposure would provide. Still I think either way would be a viable idea to try out and consider. Your way has the benefit of bypassing the other main problem which is the rapid flow of images and why I am replying again when I told myself I wouldn't.

 

The number of images posted each day is on par with the problem, to me, that social activity ties into TI. I used to try to view 10-15 pages of images every night but got quickly burnt out. I simply could not keep up with the massive flow. It became a job. I doubt most folks can keep up and so it is super easy for any image to get lost in the flow - unless you have spent enough time making a name for yourself (which was easier to do in the past I think than currently thanks, in part, because of tracking). Before tracking I think folks spent more time just browsing the pages at random (well I know I did). But time is tight and so tends to be easier to just spend what little time you have with those you have an interest in. Again human nature, and time restraints, at play here.

 

No one has time to follow everyone or comment on everyone or endorse everyone they like. Well maybe a few people but overall most folks don't have that time (or the desire to live on the share 24/7). So how do you solve that? To me allowing just one post a day at max would go a long way in slowing things down. People who post 5 images a day adds up quickly. Heck I would even say once every 48 hours should be the limit. Not only would it slow things down nicely but would probably get people to do showcases more often. That way people would be more likely to go out and check the image share itself (versus just their notifications) since it wouldn't be so overwhelming (and they mighty have less notifications). Well at least that is how I would feel. I don't know, of course, how others would react. I just know I feel like am drowning in images when I try to keep up. It would also mean more chances for a single post to stand out.

 

I almost never check top images anymore. If I have any free time after keeping up with people I like to follow I go to the main image share and go through and look for random shots I like. Usually do this when I have an hour to kill. I would see a lot more of that, and be more tempted to visit, if the image pace was slower.

 

A big thing, however, is that this is a Skyrim issue mainly. It could hurt the other shares if things got restricted as they might be too slow already. No idea how much fine-tuning on individual shares the Nexus folks can do, if any.

 

Still some good ideas coming out which is nice to see.
