As I rarely make policies as host of the FM ning, I am aware that I both want to respect the individual creative impulses of FM members to be free to express and share here. At the same time I have to be cognizant that the site does not disturb overly the enjoyment and concentration that people wish to have when they come on the site and want to study the issue of fear and fearlessness, to which this site is ultimately aimed at as its mission.
So, re: posting images, please do not use active moving images, as they become part of the front page and take up a lot of attention, which is distractive to those who want to concentrate and focus on other content without a moving object grabbing their attention. I don't want to promote attention-grabbing 'advertising' in other words to this site. I will ask all participants who want to use these moving images to (a) remove them in 24 hrs. or I will; (b) show them as a still jpeg image in Photos and have a link there so that viewers can go to the original image in its moving form, but then it is there choice to be exposed to it there, not on the FM ning site.
Thanks for your cooperation to FM ning policies. Of course, you can express your views about these policies and add to them to improve them over the years.
