| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:29:51 PM | This idea goes some way to impovement of having an inkling of who we are chatting with...but fakers will be fakers whatever
I personaly am pleased about never having to view another bike, car, dog, baby, huge fish, boat, jetski, house, garden,tv and hi fi equipment, sunglasses, football team badges...need I go on?
Come on folks, lets see you...all those things do nothing to impress... | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:44:13 PM | i'm gonna have to agree with admin on this, all these stupid pictures people have like close ups of buttons and their car, or any of that crap is annoying. but i do think there should be an option to leave you main pic blank, but have others. some of these people are artisitc and want to show that, and i'm all for it. i have pictures of my tattoos up, mainly to show them off. if you don't like them, fine, they aren't my main ones, and they won't be. but just remember if your here for dating or relationship purposes, we don't want to have a relationship with your artwork, or your car or your horse or any of those, just keep that in mind. the main pic should either be a face or body shot of you, and i don't mean one that's you about 50 feet away and you look like a black smudge. and all these group pics get old too, how the hell am i supposed to know which one you are??
as for the people complaining about the report image option, think about it this website has one administrator, he can't browse every single persons profile by himself and make the corrections. he needs all the help he can get, and if that means site users helping him so that he can keep it free i all for it | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:46:56 PM | It is really dumb to intice men or women to send you a message by having your butt or boobs for a woman and your abs for a man showing. What type are you going to get to message you? Right ...the ones that want you for your body and not your mind! This is not a porn site or an advertisement for free sex! Keep it clean people ! On the other hand ,I really don't see anything wrong with your pet as the other part of your profile. Alot of the pets are cuter anyways !!!!!!!! | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:51:21 PM | Amen Sicanius....
It's all so frickin' childish if you ask me... and you DID...
Giving these same people you want to shame the ability to delete at whim is counter-productive....
THE POF POLICE are on the prowl... and no one knows if they abuse children, old people or animals.... but we're gonna give them some power to abuse....
POO AGAIN! | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:54:52 PM | | what I don't understand is why does a person have to have EVERY picture featuring thier face? why can't a person have a picture of thier kids or something else they love in thier profile? | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:58:57 PM | It's not a dating site. It's a communication site. It's free so we know the parameters. If we want overly intrusive profile checking, then we join match.com At the moment, we intelligent people can spot, in nanoseconds, profiles that need to be ignored. As soon as we can't, we'll leave POF and try or start another site. | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:59:32 PM | I would like to know why my hidden pic got deleted, as did two perfectly normal pictures (with the exception of them being b/w) of my girlfriend and I, who met on this site. People are too delete happy...but my main concern is why/how my hidden pic got deleted. | |
|
| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 4:59:49 PM | yes, the main pic should be a head shot. as for the rest of the pictures, the no nudity guidelines are fine with me.
i've had some very positive respones to a photo i have with santa sitting on my knee. anything wrong with that one? | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:01:42 PM |
Hey you can put the crap up as secondary pics all you want, so what is all the b***hing about? not true. read post #22 | |
|
| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:07:12 PM |
No you need to read msg #22. What he said was that if he has to do it he will because the person didn't follow the rules for the main pic.

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:07:18 PM | jazmella, for the most part I agree with you and was just relaying something I see frequently discussed in forums. For myself, I'm fine with complying with the rules but I won't be reporting other members. That just feels, well...WRONG, to me. Cindy O | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:09:57 PM | I have my main pic as one of my face, and 2 others with my face in them, + 1 with my daughter and I. I had also put and example of my graphic art (t-shirt design) and a photograph I took of a 60' wave on Maui. The 2 non-human pics got deleted. So WHAT? Is all form of expression to be deleted now? I understand the need for a pic of oneself there, but there should be room for artistic expression. I get requests for examples of my art a lot....now I can't post them? There needs to be a happy medium here somewhere in the mix.
Otherwise, I like it! JD | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:10:13 PM | I've been around a few dating sites and seen both sides of this argument. As usual it has two sides and both have good and poor points. The facts are though:
1.) After 14 mths on this site I have never encountered a scammer. I am currently on 7 other sites and all of them have scammers.
2.)Have you ever met with someone and it's not been what you expected? I haven't but know plenty who have and even had the opportunity to witness it once at the local park, she had a very pretty face, which did not match the rest of her figure. Expect your date to last about 5 mins if the facts don't add up.
I think your making a rod for your own back and creating unnecessary work.
Use your scripts. This site is not broken so why try and fix it.

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:11:31 PM | | hey there Arugula, yes your legs were nice looking, as I remember. Seeing a face is better. As they say the eyes are the mirrors of your soul. And I know of people that dont put their pic up mainly because some of the ones I do know are public figures, and dont want the lime light, just a normal person that is looking too. | |
|
| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:13:08 PM | | As I recall there was or "IS" one of the admin of this site that has nothing but one big "EYE BALL" as his or her main profile pic....I do hope that was DELETED as well...! | |
|
| |
| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:18:25 PM | | I feel they should post at least one picture of themselves, preferably close up, without sunglasses or a helmet so you can actually see them. After that, I really don't care what they use, if the cartoon describes themselves, then they should use it as a second pic along with anything else they feel pertains to them. | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:19:11 PM |
If you have a dog, it can be your 3rd or 4th picture. Just the main picture has to be a headshot of you.
If I have to manually review a profile because someone didn't follow the rules and have a headshot as the main picture I'm going to delete everything that doesn't include a person's face.
it took a while to find these two post from the Big Fish....
if he has anymore... please add to this and pass it on ....
thanks for the clarity..... | |

| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:21:27 PM | Does this mean we don't have to look at pictures of boats, musical instruments, scenery and pets on anyone's profiles?
This will not stop people from putting up pictures of others. | |
|
| Reporting And deleting Main images Posted: 4/8/2007 5:22:21 PM | | HOWEVER.....!!! I do have a little problem with the way things are set up to RAT out others....there is just something wrong with that whole idea. As for fake photos, what is stopping anyone from placing a photo of someone else up...face shot or not....NOTHING as I see it. So whats that point. However with that said I will be glad to see all the female T & A photos getting deleted. Once you have seen one set of T & A...you have seen them.....all.... As well when I have rated photos...it would be nice to have something on that page to report nude photos and not just rate them 1 to 10. I have seen more then my fair share of some guy that just puts a photo of his DONG of someone elses up and asks for it to be rated... Maybe on the rate my photo area you can also include a DELETE due to cartoon and or nude photo botton, as well as a crop the photo one along with the rating number scale.....just a thought for what its worth... | |
