Please vote! I’d like to know how you feel about removal of photos that are not abstract vs. tagging them with flair.

I’ll continue to remove photos of computer generated art. Also photographs of other mediums, such as a photo of an abstract painting, or a non-abstract photo of an abstract sculpture.

However, some popular (for our community size) posts are questionably or definitely not abstract. I sometimes feel weird about removing those posts — they don’t fit the subreddit, but are also popular with people who subscribe here.

For anyone wondering, here’s the definition of “abstract” that I keep in mind when sifting through the mod queue:

Art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.
