That's about 4 photos per user. Doesn't seem like a lot. How many of your users have over 100 photos, 200, 300? Those are the ones you want to concentrate on. Ask them how to make the service better. They are your power users. Most eve

It's a bit extreme to put them in jail. I too think their actions are deplorable, but jail? We didn't even put the criminals behind the financial collapse in jail, why put morally reprehensible scientists in jail? I'd say the financial c
