There are two levels: Free, which gives you xxxx, and paid, which removes any

There is a fairly easy solution to this: simply set some guidelines for you
"tag" your photos. Other Flickr users can also add tags to your photos as they
go. Certainly in our community, this is something we shouldn't have trouble
doing. At Brickfest PDX 2007, for instance, the organizers mentioned the tag
for the event was "brickfest2007". Here's the 3,000+ photos that search returns:
http://flickr.com/photos/tags/brickfest2007/
There's also another solution, albeit a bit more complicated: Use the Flickr API
to create a tool or tools that help "LEGOize" the experience. There is a metric
ton of potential in this, both for display as well as posting (and searching and
manipulation and...).

And a darn good one at that.
