Flickr = Censorship on Flickr. Another story of communities reacting to corporate behaviour.

Update: Having just scrolled through the comments as well as this forum thread, it looks like it was a case of an over-zealous monderator at Flickr deleting a photo they felt was in violation of Yahoo's terms of service. Heather herself admits as much, admits that their process needs to be improved, and states her committment to making that happen. Still, the thread goes on.

Or put another way, what does Thomas Hawk want? Aside from the publicity, what is does a successful end-game look like? What more does he want beyond what Heather/Flickr/Yahoo has already promised?

(Oh: Hawk is the CEO of Flickr-competitor Zooomr)

I'm all for community keeping organizations in check, but you have to know when to stop, when to realize that you've accomplished what you set out to do (or at least all that is reasonably possible to be done).

I guess some people need more time to work through the pain of having their faith and trust broken.

Disclosure: I'm a paying Flickr user. I'm friends with one person who works at Flickr, and have met up with three others.

Update 2: Flickrboss Stewart responds.
