From what was once a superb photo community with the benefit of earning a few cents for people just viewing your images, Clickasnap is now a photo-dumping site where people use that very benefit as a reason to form click-circles and post stolen images. I was a member/user of this site for 5 years and enjoyed the interaction with other like-minded photographers. There was a FB group where you could liaise directly with the founder/owner, Mr Tom Oswald, where suggestions or queries could be posted. This group has now been removed due to the illegal goings-on behind the scenes and the truth actually getting 'out there'. For the last couple of years, after the illegal dismissal of Mr Oswald (see the whole sorry story here: https://hampshirepaddockmanagement.com/how-videscape-ta-clickasnap-ceo-jason-hill-stole-the-company-crashed-it-into-the-ground-and-left-100-shareholders-with-nothing/), the group had got less and less interactive and more and more toxic, mainly due to the users being lied to, given promises that were consistently broken and eventually, in June this year, the remaining owners running the site into administration. Users consistently did not get paid what they owed and, worse, after they had left the site, were still being charged their subscription fees with no chance of getting it back. Each update for the last couple of years has made the site worse, introducing more issues than they solved. The site traffic has plummeted 98% compared to 18 months ago and the vast majority of the photographers have vacated the site. Mr Oswald is up against the current owners in the UK courts in September so I will say no more about that, but if you like the unique concept and the chance to get together with other photographers, Mr Oswald is in the process of creating a new site with the tag line 'what Clickasnap SHOULD have been'. This new site is named Lumenira and an advice and discussion group has been created on FB (https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1eccmagnwb/?mibextid=wwxifr) where you can join and have a chance to be involved in lively discussions about photography and be in on the ground for this new site. All of us photographers who have vacated clickasnap are truly excited about what is to come going forward.
