Group: SPC Play Group

The game was started at Panoramio, later the submitted photos were hosted on a member's server, and I accept the various reasons why we have seen few new players.

I hope this new method of running it within ipernity will change this.

First, what will be familiar to CWP players?
The use of a group to collect the photos for each contest. Thus the same viewing and voting methods.
A few regular moderators, so that the winner does not have to worry about running the next game, only the difficulty of deciding on the next theme.

The differences?
You do not add a photo to the group.
The photo has to be a new upload, not already in your gallery.
You upload it to the Iper SPC account by attaching it to an email to an address ,for example looking like abcd123@doc.ipernity.com
which results in the photo being added to the account.
The photo cannot have a watermark, nor even a frame that could reveal your identity, thus you are advised to upload a lower resolution photo.

How does it affect current SPC players?
Perhaps an advantage that it become more similar to CWP, no more extra half vote points, or a favourite bonus, and +1 for voting rather than -1 when failing to vote.
The voting selection made via the Voting Machine, has to be posted, not just saved to the database.
You will need an ipernity account, which will have an annual cost.
