So I simply removed all groups I partake in ... simple concentrate on what I post and those I am contacts with (over 1500 at this point). I get like 300 comments now where as group-snooping and comment (bad comments) whoring ... really only resulted in 40-50 post-backs. I think its very important to understand this is a "social" site, not just a "look how f'n good I am!" site. So if you contribute ... you will get contribution back. It's what you put into it, that matters.

Only an amateur, unshackled by the chains of commerce such as bound "PRO" photographers, may have the freedom to produce truthful and meaningful work. flickr is all about pro photographers. stop following.. seriously people. why this race about being more social, instead of being more artistically creative? am i on a photography blog?

I too hate the gif comments, if you use firefox, you can install the greasemonkey add-in which has a lot of flickr tools, including one to hide award comments. Makes viewing popular photos so much easier. Just google it and you shall find it. Another good one is the one that writes how you found the photo in your comment. great tips… good to know its the stuff I’ve been doing all along!

I am using some of these already but haven't been adding favourites or adding enough tags. Recently started joining some groups but haven't joined any discussions yet - will give it a go.
