The focus now should be on building the site; we don't yet have much to moderate, after all. The admins (ArtOfCode, Luap42, and I) keep an eye on all sites to take care of administrative requests ...
What is the current situation with moderation? I wasn't sure if we had any moderators or modtools or similar things.
One thing you can do is blur the background further. This is achieved by having a lower f-stop (you can think of it as aperture). If you are using a cellphone, this is the same thing as portrait mo...

Some time ago I asked a question about photographing flames without them ending up fuzzy and blurry. I took this picture during Chanukah 2020, using manual settings on my cell-phone camera, but ...
No. Dirt happens. Phones don't magically get dirty less than lenses of high end cameras. In fact, the opposite is true. Even a semi-serious camera lens has a cap or hood. This is a simple mech...
