Geograph - photograph every grid square

If it has both question and answer, it should appear in the 'list' within a few hours.
However, it may take 24-36 hours for a search to find it.
A new question may take longer than this, moderators are alerted to its existence but may not know the answer.

The Hamsters! Each time the page loads 5 random images are selected, from the last 250 photos moderated.

(For the hamster reference see this http://www.nearby.org.uk/geograph/answers/faq.php?q=geographism )

Accounts cannot be deleted - see this answer http://www.geograph.ie/faq3.php#103

If you have submitted no photos the only way anyone can find your account is by trawling through every account number - in November 2015 there are around 122100 of them.
If you are still concerned about your name or email address being available you can edit your profile to anonymise your name and introduce an error into your email address (which is not visible unless you have set it to be so).

This page http://www.geograph.org.uk/submit-example.php shows the four stages of the submission process (locate - upload - describe - license) on one page. If you'd rather watch a video showing how it works, look at http://www.geograph.org.uk/faq3.php#49 .

Once you have pressed the "I agree" button your picture is in the system and subject to the Creative Commons Licence.

If the picture has not yet been moderated, you can requested for the image to be rejected, and you will be asked to give a reason. To "self moderate" in this way you click on the "Change Image Details" link under the picture: you should see an icon for "reject".

Once the picture has been moderated and accepted you will probably need to give a very good reason for the image to be removed from display. Images may be removed from display if they were taken illegally, or, for example if a landowner objects to a picture taken from a place without public access. This process of removing from display is sometimes referred to as "vaulting" as a copy of the picture remains in the "vault": a file storage area.

TPoint or 'Time-gap Point' is a new kind of point. A contributor can gain a TPoint by submitting a contemporary photo to a square that hasn't had a photo for 5 years. The aim is to increase the date range of available photos per square.

Squares available for a recent photo are shown in orange on the Recent Only coverage map,
http://www.geograph.org.uk/map/?recent=1

or purple dots on the 'TPoint Availability' layer on the Draggable OS map.

Also can get listings of squares via this page

(change the grid-reference in the box to your area of interest)
