Hello SL Photographers!

~ Photo Cafe’ ~ is your meeting spot for all SL Photographers (at any level) to gather and share experiences, hints, tips & tricks, landmarks or contests (inworld or Flickr) and whatever else comes to mind!

Our fortnightly meetings – every other Saturday at H.12:00PM SLT – are moderated (see below for rules!) and held on text chat (not on voice!) so to be accessible to everyone.

Rules and Etiquette

Arriving on time / few minutes in advance to our appointments – when possible – and get seated as soon as you rez, will surely help the discussion to start on time! When an appointment has started, and there are some late arrival, you can maybe greet them in IM rather than in local chat, not to interrupt the discussion flow. Photo Cafe’ Staff will welcome the new arrivals on your behalf!

Discussion routine: as you all know now, we have some “rules” to help and run a smooth discussion. Yes, I am talking about the C (comment), Q (question), R (retreat) routine!

To get listed into our moderator’s HUD, you have to type only the letter (i.e. “c”) in local chat, and no other word or punctuation or sign. Capital letters/lowercase are not influent, but your chat line must contain only the letter: C or Q to reserve your turn. If you are listed and want to retreat your comment/question, simply type R in local!

As you have something in mind to say, and you type in local your C or Q… Open a notecard and start to type your thoughts on it. If you can, split your sentences into self-consistent periods, so you can keep writing while you post the first part and you don’t leave your fellow photographers hanging on for a long time without anything to read.
Last but not least.. Don’t forget to type “done!” or similar at the end of you speech, so the moderator will know that she can go on with the next in line!
