It's not a list of rules, but a set of guiding principles for how we all interact and grow together. 1. Create & Share, Don't Criticize: We are a community of creators, not critics. We believe that everyone's work has value. Share your photos and ask for constructive feedback if you want it, but never provide unsolicited criticism. We're here to inspire each other, not tear anyone down. 2. Teach & Learn: Whether you've been shooting for a day or a decade, you have something valuable to contribute. Share your knowledge, your tips, and your experiences. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they're "basic." The only silly question is the one you don't ask. 3. Focus on Olympus/OM System: This is our shared passion. All conversations and content should be directly related to the OM System, including cameras, lenses, techniques, and the unique challenges and advantages of our gear. This keeps the community focused, relevant, and valuable for everyone. 4. No Self-Promotion, Only Value: We believe in contributing before we ask for anything. You can share your social media profiles in your introduction, but please don't use the community to promote products, services, or personal channels. We encourage you to share your best work and provide value, and your reputation will grow naturally. 5. Respect the Journey: Everyone here is at a different stage of their photographic journey. Be patient, supportive, and kind. Remember that a welcoming community is a thriving one, and your attitude sets the tone for the entire group.
