Mobile@AboveTopSecret.com Picture-Phone Forum
We're going to get started with a slow roll-out of this service...
This is an exciting new service for our members from AboveTopSecret.com. Any approved member
can immediately create a new thread by sending a picture from their camera-enabled cell phone. Our ultimate goal is to have three means to create
threads form your picture-phone.
AboveTopSecret.com If you see a conspiracy-themed item that needs to be discussed (Denver Airport?), simply snap the shot and send it in. The
picture-phone forum on ATS will be for images related to the conspiracies we discuss.
ATSNN.com Are you right next to news-in-the-making? Scoop the world by sending your shot immediately to an ATSNN submission.
BelowTopSecret.com Want to just show of what you're doing? Send any other shot to our BTS picture-phone forum. (The same rules apply for any
other post, members posting porno will be immediately banned without warning.)
Anonymous Picture Posting If you're not a member, or haven't yet been approved for picture phone posting. and still think we need to see a
picture you just shot, anonymous submissions are accepted, but placed in a private holding forum for staff to review.
Here's how to get started.
We need a few early volunteers to help test the core code which has been developed from scratch, so there may still be a few bugs. I'll be picking
five or six members to help make sure the software is working correctly. Simply follow steps to become an approved picture-phone submitter:
1) Send a picture from your phone: to mobile@abovetopsecret.com
2) Send a U2U: letting me know you just sent a submission -- include the e-mail account your cell phone used when it sent the picture, and an
additional confirmation e-mail address you want to use to receive notification messages (you receive confirmation of the file name when the post is
accepted).
IMPORTANT: Make sure your phone is configured for sending
pictures only! Attached audio messages are already causing some problems
-- that's it --
Here's how it works.
The
only way to create a new thread in the picture-phone forums is to be an approved member, and submit from your picture-phone. Once you're
an approved member, you send your picture to one of the three forums (email addresses coming shortly), a new thread, authored by you should appear
within seconds. To add comments to your picture submission, just enter them in your phone's
email subject line not the message field.
When you have time to get to a computer, go to your picture phone post and edit the default subject line and add your comments to the picture post.
Then, if on ATS, send a request to one of the picture forum moderators to move your post to one of our topical forums. The ATS picture-phone forum is
for receiving posts, then moving them to the correct forum.
Your picture is renamed with a unique time-stamp and saved in our upload directory. Your picture-phone submissions
do not count against your upload
space.
If you've sent more than one picture on a subject, simply place all your pictures into one post, then alter the subject line of the posts you want
removed to "delete me" and our staff will clean up the mess.
Use this thread for your questions and comments on this new feature from ATS.
