COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Pixel Pioneers is a space built for photographers who believe the frame matters — not the follower count. These guidelines exist to protect that intent.

Submit only photographs you created. Do not claim credit for another photographer's work. AI-generated images may not be submitted to photography categories — this is a community for captured images, not generated ones. Heavy composites or manipulations must be disclosed in the photo description. Tasteful editing and colour grading are encouraged and welcome.

Critique is welcome. Personal attacks, harassment, and hate speech are not. Criticism of a photograph is constructive. Targeting the photographer personally — their race, gender, religion, nationality, or identity — is grounds for immediate suspension. This applies in the community forums, in private messages, and in photo comments.

Provide accurate camera, lens, and location information where prompted. Do not mislead the community about the technical details of your work. Metadata honesty helps others learn.

Submit only original, previously unpublished work to challenges. Do not enter the same photograph under multiple accounts. Vote honestly — vote-buying, organised vote-exchange rings, and self-voting through alternate accounts will result in disqualification and account suspension.

The messaging system exists for professional collaboration and genuine creative connection. Unsolicited commercial messages, spam, or any form of harassment in private messages will result in immediate account suspension. You may block any user from your Dashboard without explanation.
