I'd not come across the badge before now. Looks like it should be useful. I'm not a GreaseMonkey user either, but thanks anyway. I'm still finding out what's what on Flickr as I've only really used it from the viewing side of the fence until now. I can see that the water actually runs quite deep and there's a lot more of a community feel to it than a casual observer might see. Yup, I've started ignoring requests from groups that have these sorts of viral policies. There are just too many of them to keep up! Thanks for the suggestions, Sarah.

Something that allows you to specify which of your photos are displayed. I just use the badge, it's javascript so not great but it does. Second point can be overcome with a greasemonkey script. I know Dave has it on his (drop him a message on Flickr if you want to know what it is), I don't run GM so I don't have anything like that. It is a bit tedious at times, but I only tend to add to 2-3 groups at a time (space them out, aim for the most views that way!) Third point, I don't bother with groups like that! There are plenty of groups on the same subject that don't require you to comment/favourite/invite anything else, so I tend to just stick with them.
