Oppose I'm not sure I like the composition. It seems kind of chaotic to me. I see what the photographer was going for but I think it's kind of too clever for its own good. Sharpness is a bit questionable. Cmao20 (talk) 02:43, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Please, clarify the "I think it's kind of too clever for its own good" part. ★ 14:35, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think the composition is chaotic, random, and that the use of the mirror is neither aesthetic nor interesting. Cmao20 (talk) 14:52, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Comment Also, you have three nominations open at the moment - the South American map and the Rio cityscape. Please withdraw one. This is the second time in the past week I have had to warn you about this. Cmao20 (talk) 14:20, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Nomination denied. Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines because only two active nominations per user are allowed. |
- In what way does the fact that you made a nomination that breaks the FPC rules on concurrent nominations and therefore was denied, prove that male nudes will not pass? Please stop treating this forum like your personal playground. If you think we are biased against male nudes for some reason then you should discuss this on the FPC talk page rather than make a deliberately disruptive nomination.

- Indeed. This really is shitty behavior from ArionStar. They have been warned about this time and time again, but it seems like they are on an agenda of nominating (weird) male nudes, so much so that they refuse to follow the rules. Honestly, I would expect such behavior from a newbie, but an editor who's been here for more a decade? Come on! Pull yourself together. Wolverine XI 21:01, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- I cannot understand why ArionStar has not been banned from FPC. This user has a track record of being warned multiple times for low-effort nominations of bad pictures, of spamming the page with quick-fire nominations and withdrawals, of breaking the two concurrent nominations rule (in this case only a few days after having been warned about it, but there are warnings going back years), of baselessly suggesting anti-Brazilian racism after a controversy over apparent canvassing, of making borderline anti-Semitic comments by going through nominations trying to find Israeli voters and suggesting that this indicated some sort of canvassing plot, and of vandalising his own photos in a childish protest about the difficulties of getting Picture of the Year up and running. His success at FPC in the past is a ‘close your eyes and hope for the best’ strategy that does find some good photos but also results in the rest of us having to be spammed with bad pictures in what I consider borderline vandalism. He has currently been blocked and is replying to the admin who has blocked him by stating that he fully intends to continue his disruptive behaviour after the block expires. I have previously considered boycotting his nominations entirely but have refrained from doing so because a) it would be unfair on the other photographers whose work he nominates, who deserve to be judged on their own merits and b) it would increase the likelihood that more of the low quality images he nominates will get through.

- I understand you perfectly, and these concerns about ArionStar's behavior are also mine, especially regarding low-quality nominations, rule violations, and behaviors that are annoying or disruptive; however, I believe that instead of requesting his expulsion, we should seek more constructive solutions that benefit the entire community, since it's true that there have been problematic situations, but I must also acknowledge that ArionStar brings a different perspective with his uncommon nominations, enriching diversity (not with the typical FPC of buildings); moreover, we can all go through difficult personal moments that affect our online behavior (I know firsthand that he is going through a situation of self-definition), and instead of focusing on penalties, we could offer support and guidance to help him channel his contributions more positively and in accordance with community norms; I think the accusations you're making are very serious and I invite you to handle them carefully, promoting more communication to clarify misunderstandings and avoid hasty judgments, because in the end, by working together to foster an inclusive and understanding environment for the LGBT community Wilfredor (talk) 02:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- +1 Ban this user. Totally agree with Cmao20 and others. Please open a related discussion on a more neutral page (without erotic picture) so that we can discuss serenely -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- That would be COM:ANU. --SHB2000 (talk) 07:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
