Proposal: Square Eyes

Popular, 5-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 30 Mar 2024 07:03:27 UTC

In “Shots”, replace “A Shot is confirmed as Authentic if it includes an appearance” with:-

A Shot is confirmed as Authentic if it was taken outside and includes an appearance

Remove “The Shot was taken in an outside location.” from the list of Public Criteria.

Let’s move on from photos of laptops.

I’m sure creative folks will just take their laptops outside.

Would we have known if Snap 14 had been taken outside?

Maybe the definition of Authentic should also include a proof of the Shot being outside. Something like “a portion of the sky that is not obstructed by glass or other transparent substance?” Though I guess taking a shot through an open window would defeat that one.

We’re taking a lot of stuff at face value already, the bulk of this game is people making unspoken subjective calls on whether a photo contains or does not contain a secret thing. (I am a bit surprised that there hasn’t been a single question asking for clarification on any ambiguous photo detail, yet.)

If someone posted something like Snap 14 or Snap 11 under this rule, I expect we’d either ask them to confirm, or just play on under the assumption that it was fine - and CfJ to uphold if they later revealed that they’d forgotten the outside rule and it wasn’t.

What even is outside anyway, is a veranda outside, is a gazebo outside, what about a tent, what about half a tent, what about being in a car with the roof open

Subject judgement it is, then. Outside is “I know it when I see it”.
