Personally I think there should be no pictures in the status experience threads

The purpose of those threads is to tell us if the poster has gotten an upgrade and if so what and if they got lounge access etc etc

Photos should be on the hotels master review thread.

I have no objection to someone linking to their post in the hotels review thread in their status experience post with a note saying “photos posted here”

Also before posting posters should look at other photos in the review thread to see if their photos add anything new. If the reception desk or bar or room is unchanged there really is no need to post what are in effect duplicate picture. Of course if there has been a refurbishment then new photos are more than appropriate.

Equally photos that have time limited utility (price lists / menus) should not be posted as they rapidly change.
