When I read the rule that HOughy is referring to, I assumed it was in response to something that happened last year when a person submitted an image that combined data they had collected on an object with data ANOTHER person had collected on the same object. If that is the intent of the rule, it seems reasonable to me that a person be limited to submitting only their own data, and not someone else's.

Although on one view it may seem a bit arbitrary, you have to draw the line somewhere.

Having said that, I think there should be more collaboration in the sharing of astronomical image data within the amateur community. The combined efforts of a few can often exceed the sum of the parts.
