Meanwhile, I changed my signature as you can see below. I hope that helps a little. I always put my thread themes on post # 1, but many posters don't look back that far on a thread before they post, so those folks have the excuse they just didn't see the theme. The signature shows up on all my posts, so they won't have to look far, but people still have to bother to read it. I shall endeavor to persevere.

Right now I see the two biggest issues/problems here at OCC to be:
1) Users don't honor thread theme and routinely post off-topic material. That totally deters me from starting a new thread - the thought of it being almost immediately corrupted by off-topic material stops me in my tracks.
2) There are several mass re-posters here who take anything original you may have found and repost it - sometimes within days. They get 100-plus thanks in comparison to the fifteen you yourself got. What's my incentive for working to find something original?
I used to be a regular contributor here, scouring sites like Flickr finding new material. New material doesn't seem to be appreciated at all anymore - not when warmed-over, off-topic reposts get over a hundred thanks.
In addition, I'm finding users trying to pass off pro art-nude model pics as amateur finds on almost a daily basis. One was an image of an art-nude model I know personally and who I'd shot myself; the poster tried to pass her off as ENF! ENF? She was the least wary model I'd ever shot - she walked around naked for an hour here in the local greenway trails, even after a hiker had come down a parallel trail with 20 feet of us within five minutes of the start of the shoot. ENF my ass!
