Posted: 7/15/2007 7:46:13 PM | ^^^I don't make friends based on looks. I am here for friends and forums - anyone who wishes for friendship with me deserves to know that I am a loon. Showing a picture of my pretty, innocent face is very misleading. Hence the picture of me with a bison (since my stonemasonry photos are disallowed.) All of my clowning photos get deleted too, even though it is me (in costume and makeup.)
Me as a clown, or rodeo junkie, or bison herder is my true-to-likeness. | |

Aiyi yi yi yi...I still don't understand what everyone is so confused about and I swear people don't read!!!
Right on the "image page" where you upload your pics....where it's pretty darn hard to miss...it states in LARGE RED LETTERS "ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum". It doesn't say ONLY head shots. It says you must be in the picture and your head must be visible!! PERIOD!
You see, you're complaining about something that's the way you want it and I just posted that a few posts up.
Now be happy!!
1. if you think i'm going to read 27 pages of drivel you're crazy.
2. if it can be a photo of your body with face in it, they need to stop calling it a "head shot". a head shot is a picture of only your face/head - no body. that's pretty simple.
3. i haven't read the specific rules regarding photos in quite a while, and was only going by the first post in this thread, which mentioned nothing about the specifics and said only "head shot". again, i wasn't about to search through 27 pages for a clarification, so i missed your revelation, even if it was only a couple posts above mine (see #1).
4. who said i'm not happy?  | |

You are doing this mostly for the people you want to look at you!
NOT mostly for you!
Oh. I thought folks were here because they were looking for someone or they enjoyed the forums. I didn't realize I was here for other people's viewing pleasure.
I continue to maintain that it's a foolish requirement. Would you rather look at a photo which is not of me but expresses something about me, or no photo at all? | |

no photo at all.
first and foremost, this is a dating site. there are plenty of other fora where you can attach a cute avatar to express yourself, but on a dating site i think it makes perfect sense to require that photos be of you. otherwise people could start putting random pics of whatever. what if some girl feels Angelina Jolie expresses something about her, or a guy who thinks Brad Pitt represents him well. should they use that? then you have the whole "what's appropriate" issue - "but it's art!", etc. | |

lol. You're just afraid I'd get all the chics.

I understand your concern. But you can't stop fraud. Even under the present rules (or any form thereof) there's nothing to keep me from posting pics of my roomate instead of myself, or sending a pic of a brad pitt look alike along with my first message. That has to do with a person's character and you can't legislate that.
... on a dating site i think it makes perfect sense to require that photos be of you. otherwise people could start putting random pics of whatever.
Sure it's a "dating" site. (I use the term loosely because many of us are not here for dating.) But so what? If you're not going to require a face pic for identification purposes (and that idea has no merit unless admin verifies some form of ID to set up a profile; see fraud above), you may as well let folks put up whatever the heck they want - as long as it doesn't break any laws. And if a pic were required, you'd lose all the folks who don't have digital access and those people who prefer to maintain some anonymity.
I have to confess, the rule makes no sense to me. | |

They're both the same to me!!!! I want to see the person I'm communicating with. If you want to share your wonderful photography with me, direct me to it after we've connected or include yourself in the shot! I totally understand copyright issues and it's in the best interest of the site to try to avoid that problem. This helps to cut down on it. Yes you can be deceitful and send a look alike pic of some hot looking star but as you said, that would define YOUR character and sooner or later the truth would come out because some things are a little more difficult than others to hide! lol
1. if you think i'm going to read 27 pages of drivel you're crazy. I've been called worse..lmao~ Call me crazy if you wish but if I have a problem/concern I'm going to read all the input to see if my concern was addressed BEFORE I ask a question that's already been answered. I'd rather be crazy and knowledgeable than ignorant by choice because I'm too lazy to read something that may be helpful to me! I think that's crazy! 
If you don't want to read "drivel" (which I see as others concerns about the site), you should at least be reading and trying to interpret correctly the "Opening Post" along with the last page of entries.
2. if it can be a photo of your body with face in it, they need to stop calling it a "head shot". a head shot is a picture of only your face/head - no body. that's pretty simple
3. i haven't read the specific rules regarding photos in quite a while, and was only going by the first post in this thread, which mentioned nothing about the specifics and said only "head shot". again, i wasn't about to search through 27 pages for a clarification, so i missed your revelation, even if it was only a couple posts above mine (see #1). I believe the "Opening Post" was stated in a pretty simple way to understand. Where do you see any place on THAT post which you referred to OR in the big red letter's on your upload page....that what you're allowed to post is being called a "head shot" leading you to believe that's what you're limited to when it actually states the only requirement is your face be visible in the pic.
I see a survey question on the bottom of the first post asking for our opinion whether or not we'd like that option but I don't see anything that states it has to be a head shot while really meaning a body shot...or where it's not worded correctly or even confusing for that matter!
Here's the opening post:
The main picture has to include a persons face. That's pretty clear to me!
This will start to make the "Only allow users with images to message me" restriction useful. And perhaps a image only search. Still sounds good and clear!
Use the report profile link to report users who have a proper main picture but the rest are cartoons or joke pictures. Time and time again i've seen that those kind of users have absolutely no interest in using the site as a dating site. Also be sure to report all shirtless guys missing a head. A good 70% of those photo's are fake. No confusion there and no reference to ONLY using a head shot either!
Do you like the fact only main pictures must be a head shot? Survey question with a box to clearly vote if you'd like to see that option in effect. It's not stating it has to be, but only asking our opinion!
And here's the large red letters from your upload page:
ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum. Still nothing stating that your pics had to be a head shot only and couldn't include the body!
I think you may have misinterpreted the "Opening Post" which is why I stated that it's great to have the rule right there in everyone's face on the very page they have to upload them on. Don't you agree? Remember too that rules change as a site grows so it's important to familiarize yourself with them and stay updated at all times.
4. who said i'm not happy? no one!!! I said "now be happy" (because there was no cause for you to be complaining about something that was the way you wanted it to be...........and still is!)

Posted: 7/18/2007 6:59:23 PM | A while back, a man, from online walked up on me in real life ... was really creepy! I took my pics down for while, replacing them with a nice innocuous pic not of me ... and got a nasty note from POF threatening to delete me... even tho I stated on my profile that it was temporary and why.
I really thought it was a bit over the top. I was not trying to hide anything. What was up with that I don't know ...... | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 3:22:10 AM | this is simply a question because I want to know. I know the rules and I prefer to have a head shot as my main image myself.
however, this as a rule makes no sense to me. why is there a rule...why shoud a website owner care about what image people use to express themselves...providing it its not obscene or anything. | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 7:28:02 AM | I really thought it was a bit over the top. I was not trying to hide anything. What was up with that I don't know ...... You clearly broke their rule and they don't have that many for guests of the site to abide by. The reason matters not, the fact was..you did it. If I were poor and robbed a store to feed my family, would that exempt me from the consequence for commiting the crime? No. There are other ways to handle all situations without breaking the rules set forth that are in place to provide saftey and order. You could have chosen other options. You could have taken down all pics and had none which is what you should have done if you're afraid of being recognized in public by a pic you have on line. You could have changed your name. You could have hidden your profile. You could have deleted your acct. and taken a break and then come back as yourself when you felt comfortable or another screen name. You chose to break the rules though and that had to be followed up with a consequence. Without consequences there's no way to enforce rules. It's that simple!
why shoud a website owner care about what image people use to express themselves...providing it its not obscene or anything. I'm sure that first and foremost it has to do with copyright issues. That could be a big problem for the sites and most I know of have it clearly stated in their terms of agreement that pics containing copyrights are not allowed. In fact most sites also DON'T allow pics unless you're in them and many now have other stipulations as well. It helps to "protect" them as well as others in the pics, and that's only fair especially on a site like this one where the Admin is responsible and we're all his guests on a site he created for us to enjoy for free. It's his right to require whatever rules he feels will best keep his site safe. I've personally seen the same pic on several profiles on here and on other sites as well. It was a copyright pic from 911. I'm sure the people posting it just loved the pic and copied and used it without even thinking of getting permission from the creator of the pic, not realizing the entire copyright problem or the legal aspect of it.
On another note .....there is a huge deception issue with people using other people's body shots without heads, or pics leading others to believe they own particular properties, or luring others in by displaying someone else's cute puppy etc. Making sure a visible face is in all pics helps us to know the person we're communicating with is actually who they say they are. Yes, I know that deception can still occur if someone's character is of such that they wish to deceive someone by putting up pics of another person, but this does help tremendously.

No disrespect but when posting questions on a thread it's always best to read some of the other posts to see if your question has already been answered. At least the opening post along with the previous page or two. I just answered your question directly above your post and it's been answered several other times not only on this thread but others. For the answer to why NO photo isn't the same thing..see msg. 640 on the previous page. I'm sure there are other posts to refer back to as well. | |

I'm a teacher and very helpful person. When someone doesn't understand what's being said, I'll try to explain it in as many ways/variations as it takes for them to get it. Many times that includes changing or adding things to make it easier for them. My responses to DIFFERENT people asking the SAME question was to be helpful to THAT person. If anything was repeated it was because they somehow missed it when it was said. After so many times though...I'll just suggest they read the thread. If you already know the answers, skip over the post.
You don’t see me and we seem to be getting our points across just fine. Do we??? Obviously not or you wouldn't have just posted what you did! You complained about repeating and yet just made a comment where you already knew the response forcing me to now add a variation to it. lol
My reply had to do mostly with the dating portion of the site...main images and all profile pics. However, even on the forums where only one pic is shown...I'd still prefer to see who's posting. That doesn't mean I'm going to be rude and not respond to them but my preference is to see them. Damn....didn't I just say that!!!! Repeat repeat repeat!!!! But only for those who need it! 
Point of the thread is that a face should be visible in all pics. That's a good decision for the site and the Admin is doing the right thing by requiring that for allllllll the reasons listed throughout the thread! No pics are still an option for those who don't wish to show their face for whatever their reasons are. | |

I see. So you're a teacher and helpful to some DIFFERENT people asking the SAME question "so many times" - after which you stop being helpfully redundant and just suggest they read the thread. That makes perfect sense.
Maybe we're all teachers trying to teach each other something that we think the other person isn't getting, so we helpfully repeat it thinking they just might get it this time. Some of them anyway.
Obviously not or you wouldn't have just posted what you did! You complained about repeating and yet just made a comment where you already knew the response forcing me to now add a variation to it. lol

Posted: 7/19/2007 11:43:18 PM | I'm still trying to figure out why a photo of ME with my whole body and face keeps getting deleted (three times so far.) It is ME, MY face, doing an activity that represents MY character (leaning against a buffalo.) I am here for friends and forums, as soon as one of my face shots (other than the one I have up of me in a top hat and penguin costume which is a deliberately bad photo of me) I get all of the irritating messages of (1) "u r hawt, wanna fuk"
I was not breaking or stretching any rules, but others have determined that I should be having my cute innocent facial shots up which misrepresent me entirely - I am a nutbar, not innocent! People deserve to see the truth first (the photo) before looking through the rest of it! Pretty pictures of me get the annoying messages without the author of said message looking any further than that one photo.
With my better representation of self photos, the messages I get are from people who have read through the profile, noted that I am not single, and that I even went so far as to include a photo of my mate, so that they talk about something like a potential friend. (As in{2} "Hey, I've never had a dead fish fight before. Where do you go for something like that? You guys sound like a blast.")
See the difference in quality of message? My photo is my strategy, and makes all the difference between the first type of message and the second. Granted I still get the message #2 either way, but in this method I do not have to sort through all the garbage of messages like #1. | |

It is ME, MY face, doing an activity that represents MY character (leaning against a buffalo.) I know I gave you a choice of things it may have been but now that you put up a new pic here's what I see..(or don't see : )
Looking at your photo I can barely tell it's you and that's even in connection with your other photos. Don't forget that those rating photos are only looking at the one photo at a time and have nothing to connect it to. The photos they rate may also be a slightly smaller size therefore making it even harder to see your face. I don't know for sure but that may be the problem and why it keeps getting deleted. They can't really tell who the person is in the pics! All photos must have a visible head/face shot so if they can't see your distinct facial features they may choose to delete it in accordance with the rules because the pic could be a shot of anyone!
I was not breaking or stretching any rules, but others have determined that I should be having my cute innocent facial shots up which misrepresent me entirely - I am a nutbar, not innocent! People deserve to see the truth first (the photo) before looking through the rest of it! I don't think it's a case of them determining that you should have your cute face shot as opposed to your other choices, but rather that they can't clearly see your face in your other shots and can in the closer up shots.
As far as representation through the shots you chose, that's all a perception of the one who views you. When I saw your buffalo shot...I thought.."she likes animals and may even be a country girl aka innocent!" That was MY impression of that shot! When I looked at one of the closer up ones, I saw a little devilish/not so innocent look which I stated as having definite character, and what I interpreted to be a fun/nutbar person. So you see it's all in the eyes of the beholder and what I saw was the opposite of what you thought you were portraying with the different pics. I suggested using one of them because it was clear and also showed how pretty you are.
However, if you feel that certain pics of you determine various types of messages you don't want to receive, or are stating that those pics misrepresent you entirely.....than why have those pics showing on your profile at all? Try taking more shots of the kind you like with your face more visible and ONLY post the pics that show you the way you want to be represented!
You can also have a headline that states..."Please Read Profile Before Writing"..and hope they do, or if you want them to know you for who you are without misinterpreting a pic, you can choose no pic at all and force them to read.
**If you really like the pics you have that keep getting deleted and don't feel you can retake the shots, you may email them to me and I'll be happy to help by cropping them for you so they show your face a little more clearly. You can then try to repost them. : )
Whichever way you choose to go........Good Luck!!!

limestone, i agree with what unzipped said. if i was rating pics, i would vote delete for your main pic, the couch shot, and the buffalo shot, because i can't see your face. somewhere on this thread (i'm not gonna go back and check which post) it states that distance is a factor...i.e., if the photo is at such a distance that the person can not be recognized in the shot, it is delete-worthy. with that being said, if i were viewing your profile, i wouldn't report your main pic, since there are others there where i can see your face. and, while i'm type-A, i'm not quite THAT type-A.
algy - i'm not going to quote any of your posts. from what i've seen here in this thread, i will call you a troll. you have nothing better to do than attack one who has been trying to be helpful? that says a lot about you. consequently, that's all i'll say, since i know that it is always recommended that one not feed the trolls. | |

Admin asked for opinions. We have 27 pages debating the value of headshots. All discussion related to the topic would seem to be fair game. YOU raised your profession and teaching method as a "point". I merely responded.

Attack? Sure, if pointing out an inconsistency someone else raised while disagreeing with my post is an attack, I guess I did that. Helpful? In what way did she help me or anyone else who disagrees that face pics should be required?

You exude both humor and tolerance.
OT:
My photo is my strategy
Exactly. Like Limestone, I’m not here to date right now. I’m here to chat. My pics were of things and places that mean something to me and other people with similar interests. I want to chat with others of similar, or even opposing, interest. Presumably my photos draw those people in just a facial picture draws someone in for dating purposes. Like Limestone I prefer not to have to fend off dating advances. I also prefer not to be identified until I choose to reveal my identity. Not permitting alternative pics allows me, and others who are similarly situated, zero opportunity to express ourselves via photographic media. Not only is that restrictive from our standpoint, but the POF community gains nothing by it. My pics didn’t offend anyone. No-one was forced to look at them. It provides no real ‘security’ for folks concerned about crime. There are methods to exclude my profile and the profiles of people like me from dating searches. It isn’t a logical rule.
I think the trend towards requiring a facial picture is a form of prejudice. People are afraid of non-pic profiles. They wonder about our intent. They don’t understand it. They have trouble accepting that non-pic people can be just as sincere, and that our reasons for being here are just as valid.

Looking at your photo I can barely tell it's you and that's even in connection with your other photos.
Sure, but I see plenty of folk with further away photos than mine who keep theirs, as it is the only photo on their profile. Maybe also I do not want to be easily recognized by the folk who only send sexual messages out. I want friends, not sex with strangers. I am not looking to date, so my face in a picture like I have provided is sufficient to show for what I am looking for. I preferred it even better when my work creations were allowed to be on my profile, but I will abide by the rules. A yearbook shot of my face is ridiculous for someone wanting to get to know me.
I suggested using one of them because it was clear and also showed how pretty you are.
Thanks for the complement. I am aware that I am pretty. That is precisely why I do not want a closeup of my face as a main image. As for the rest, even with a tag saying "read profile before messaging" does not deter the "u r hawt wanna fuk" messages. Having no photo usually means no messages at all, even for friends. The other photos are there for those who will look at more than the intro photo.
When I saw your buffalo shot...I thought.."she likes animals and may even be a country girl aka innocent!" That was MY impression of that shot! When I looked at one of the closer up ones, I saw a little devilish/not so innocent look which I stated as having definite character, and what I interpreted to be a fun/nutbar person.
No sane person would stand near a buffalo. They are more dangerous and volatile than bears. Someone with a similar outlook and experience as myself who I would want as a real life friend would already know that. Country girls btw, are not innocent! have you never heard stories about hay lofts?! LOL | |

Attack? Sure, if pointing out an inconsistency someone else raised while disagreeing with my post is an attack, I guess I did that. My profession was used to clarify a response to your uncalled for personal dig which you then went on to post another. There was no inconsistency other than the one you tried to create. I’m asking you again to kindly email personal comments to me, keep them off this thread and please stick to the topic.
Helpful? In what way did she help me or anyone else who disagrees that face pics should be required? I explained in a logical manner why the Admin's decision to include the member's face in all their pics was a good decision. I have no control over whether or not that helped YOU understand it more clearly but I did try.
thanks unzipped for the explanation of the copyright issues.that was helpful and makes sense to me
Thanks Unzipped for explaining the copyright issue thing. That makes sense to me now! You're both welcome!
Limestone - or anyone else who would like me to crop one of their pics to bring the face in closer to make it more visible…and ACCEPTABLE, the offer still stands.
I’m here to chat. Chatting is against the forum guidelines.
My pics were of things and places that mean something to me and other people with similar interests. I want to chat with others of similar, or even opposing, interest. List those interests in your "about me" section. That's what it's for! Keep your pics hidden and share them with whomever you choose. You can also seek out forums where discussions are being held that pertain to your interests. From there you'll certainly meet others with the same interests to start email conversations with.
I also prefer not to be identified until I choose to reveal my identity. There's no rule against having “No Pics” and no need to discuss it.
Not permitting alternative pics allows me, and others who are similarly situated, zero opportunity to express ourselves via photographic media. It's your choice to stay hidden and when you connect with someone you can share your pics through other channels.
It isn’t a logical rule. It's a very logical rule and I'm glad it's being enforced. Copyright issues can cause problems for sites and I know of no sites that don't have something included about them in their terms of agreement. How much more logical can it get than that? I think instead of arguing everyone should respect the Admin’s decision especially one he implemented to protect HIS site so all of us who appreciate being here will be able to continue to do so!
I think the trend towards requiring a facial picture is a form of prejudice. Against whom?? The invisible man/woman? lmao

They have trouble accepting that non-pic people can be just as sincere, and that our reasons for being here are just as valid. No one is questioning your reasons to be here and whether they're valid or not and once again..."no pics" is not in question on this thread. However, the Admin has a lot more experience than you do and he clearly pointed out his findings in connection with those with pics not displaying their face and those that do. No pics is still your choice but as you stated above, that choice determines the correspondence you get. That choice however is YOURS!!!
Sure, but I see plenty of folk with further away photos than mine who keep theirs, as it is the only photo on their profile. Maybe also I do not want to be easily recognized by the folk who only send sexual messages out. I want friends, not sex with strangers. Then you shouldn’t post any pics that you feel are going to entice that type of email! Utilize some of the suggestions that were given.
No sane person would stand near a buffalo. They are more dangerous and volatile than bears. Someone with a similar outlook and experience as myself who I would want as a real life friend would already know that. Country girls btw, are not innocent! have you never heard stories about hay lofts?! LOL Seeing you up close and personal led me to believe that it obviously was not a raging buffalo. Lol As for the hay loft stories, don’t believe them. After all………..I’m a country girl, and I'm innocent! :wink”
For those of you still unsure why your pics are being deleted please go to this thread.

Posted: 9/21/2007 4:02:47 PM | I don't understand, I deleted my main image because I had a better picture of myself that I wanted posted that looked more like me. I must be getting old, old, old because if people are going to be dishonest they are going to be dishonest. That is their problem and it will catch up with them. I would like to post a new picture.

I wouldn't post someone else's picture, that would be stupid, when you went to meet someone how would they know you? Honest Kathy | |

Why just post a pic of just your eyes or you licking your lips but you can't see anything else?
The rest of us put ourselves out there by showing our face. you all should too. it's only fair.. especially if you have intentions of meeting people. | |
