There's some school of thought that suggests that taking photos in Yosemite is a waste of time because Ansel Adams and company have said it all. It never occured to me that people might take that short of advice literally. I don't like sounding like a crumudgeon but frankly most folks don't need somewhat mean-spirited "don'ts". More welcoming "do's" that get people shooting and posting pictures - even if they dare to be of their kids, beautiful people, or gorgeous and exotic locations. Anything that inhibits people for taking pictures, experimenting, and sharing their work is a Bad Thing and we should avoid it.
