If its to blurry its nuked.

Super close ups of people where you don't see the face are also nuked. I leave sun glasses if they are small and you can still tell what the person is like.

Use report profile to report pictures that are of celebs.

I have been reporting headshots that violate the rules and none of them seem to be going away. I must have reported some of them at least a week ago and the same pictures are still there?

What gives?

Anyone who knows the answer to this.......

Is wearing jeans and no shirt considered nudity regarding men???

Are women allowed to be dressed in what appears to be bra and underwear or
a bikini??

I have blatently come across nude photos and men and their members shots but
the two above are not completely nude but showing lots o skin, too much for
my taste but what is the official rule.......

I tried looking for that one didnt get far.

Also if I report someone who has one image and that image is too blurry and they look
like they have black holes for eyes, is that correct to click the report button??

If not, I am sorry. eeek. I get confused by wording sometimes on the site......

I want to comply with the rules and think others should too.

It would be nice to have a report button on each image a person has so we can just get rid of the ones that arent a main pic also.

you are becoming my favorite mod. I love ya! You answer the questions I have needed answered now i can be a better help to the site and give something back for what it does for me!

YOU ARE THE BEST! I just spent an hour looking thru posts on what is nudity lol and never found a def for it but that pretty much just answered it and might be good to put somewhere as a sticky or unmoveable post.

YAY! I love ya for the help you have given me!

One of the things i have found when uploading pictures is that they look okay when looking at them in your profile but when you see your picture in the forums they can look blurred and nowhere as clear as they look on your profile.
This is probably because its downsized for the forums but it can make people report it because it looks blurred, the question i'm asking is if it looks okay on your profile but it looks blurred when used as an image for the forums is this okay and complying with the rules of POF with regards to pictures.?.

Maximum Main pic on profile
300 x 300 pixels

Standard Fixed size on profile thumbnails and forum thumbnails
75 x 75 pixels

simple resolution resolve to your query.

EDIT: The above info isn't going to make a bad shot better, it simply explains the max res for mains to what the max res for thumbnails are. Same picture, one has more pixels than the other, hence why the smaller one doesn't look as good, other than the size aspect.

That would probably help but the question you asked.......

I do believe the clearness or blurriness being referred to just about everywhere in the forum is on your actual profile. I looked thru the forum rules.........

This is the standard info on images I found:

http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts1917288.aspx

It doesn't give a max pixel size, only a 4mb rule per image.

I think the last poster is telling you what sizes work best for the problem u are mentioning....... not that what he is saying is any kind of rule on the site.

But you can contact a mod for clarification if that applies to forum pictures at this link:

All i want to know is that if my picture is acceptable for my profile and if i have been able to upload it to my profile, is that picture acceptable when shown on the forums.?.

I seem to have had a problem lately where i have been reported for a violation of the picture rule and have recieved the automated message saying my picture has been deleted "Even though my picture had been on my profile and the forums for quite a while". And if i dont adhere to the rules then my privelege of uploading pictures will be revoked full stop.

I am not some guy who works within the PC world and nor am i someone who can downsize pictures but my PC tells me the size of the pictures i am uploading and it seems to be whithin the rules of POF .

In all honesty i'm a PC dummy but i dont want to lose priveleges of uploading pictures because its the first time i have ever shown pictures of myself on a dating site but i'm getting rather frustrated and thinking why did i ever bother.
Does this make sense or am i being unreasonable..

Oh and is the snake okay, i loved that snake and treat him as a freind...

The thumbnails are not a gauge for reporting for a bad resolution picture, they may be for content against the rules (e.g. non human pics), but certainly not for resolution. Go to your main pic in the large format for making a decision as to if it's a discernable picture of you.

Your pics are fine.

One of the things i have found when uploading pictures is that they look okay when looking at them in your profile but when you see your picture in the forums they can look blurred and nowhere as clear as they look on your profile.

The following are some of the Common Reasons you may end up with blurred Pics:

  • Original Image was mis-exposed/Out of Focus

  • Scanned in at Low-Bit Value Resolutions/Dirty Glass or Lens

  • Original Image was Upscaled/Excessive Sharpening/Mis-Edited.

  • Image Corruption through excessive Compression


Further, the Thumbnail Images are Square, whereas your uploaded pic may have been Rectangular. All sorts of weird Phenomena and Anomalies can occur, but in the End it simply amounts to "Missing Information".

I suggest you spend some Time and read over the following Thread. If followed to the Letter, there should be no such Issues. Note the Clarities of my Profile Pics ... that should tell you the whole Story. There are no Excuses.

I seem to have had a problem lately where i have been reported for a violation of the picture rule and have received the automated message saying my picture has been deleted "Even though my picture had been on my profile and the forums for quite a while".

Your Main Profile Picture was Way too blurry. It has nothing to do with your Thumbnails.
Images: Image Types
You may also have Problems uploading your Image if ...



Items #1, #2, and #3 can be changed by using the "Crop" or "Resize" Function of your Picture Editor.

#4, #5, #6, #7, #8 and #9 by converting your Image to the uncompressed 24 Bit BMP Format before uploading it.

For #10, try re-naming your Image File.

For #11, upload a larger Image.

For #12, name the Image back to its original File Extension and convert to JPG, BMP or GIF before uploading.



In order to maximize the Area of your displayed Image on your Profile, use a Graphic Editor to crop your chosen Pic to an Aspect Ratio of just a Hair under 1:1.

The largest Size a Pic on your Profile can be displayed at in your Browser is 300 Pixels wide by 299 Pixels high.

Simply make sure that the Height of your Image is 1 Pixel less than its Width, such as 300 x 299, 600 x 599, 789 x 788, 1,153 x 1,152, etc. ... or any other Size you like, but not exceeding 1,200 DPI on any one Side. After upload, if you then click on that Profile Thumbnail Image placeheld as the Main Pic, then check the Properties Page, your Image(s) should read 300 by 300 DPI. The Thumbnail "Mouseover" pop-up Image will also be displayed at same Size.

1,200 x 1,199 DPI BMPs will give the very best Results, but sometimes these Images will not upload at all because they well exceed 4 MBs.

You can always upload any other Images sized any which Way under 1,200 DPI, but your Profile Display will not be maximized.

If only a Portion or Section of your Pic shows after Image upload, then reduce the Size of your Image and re-upload again. If the Background of your Image is "White", and has only uploaded partially, add a 10-20 Pixel black Border around it before trying to upload it again.

You can also now upload very narrow or wide Pics, but the Thumbnail Images will be rendered 'Proportionally Distorted'.



On another Note, a JPG Image is a Compressed Image, usually about only 1/7th the File Size of an uncompressed Image such as a BMP or a TIF. A compressed Image (JPG) will always suffer, among a Number of Things, loss of 'Contrast', meaning both the 'dark' as well as the 'light' Areas of the Image are missing some Details. When you upload a JPG to your Profile, the POF Image Compression Filter re-compresses your JPG Image again, losing even more 'Contrast'. For this Reason, should you need to resize or crop your Image, also reduce the 'Contrast a little, so your POF uploaded Image reveals a bit more Detail.

About Image Sharpening. Its generally not a good Idea to apply 'Sharpening' to an Image you will upload to your Profile, as the POF JPG Compression Filter will reveal severe Artifacting of your Image, usually making it look worse than before.

For Images that "appeared" OK on your Computer, but look awful after you have uploaded them to your Profile, unless your Image was partially corrupt, a Non-Standard or Proprietary JPG Compression Algorithm, its usually the Result of too much severe Compression one too many Times, causing extreme Amplification of Image Degradation.

You can only upload the JPG, BMP or GIF Format to your Profile. Since the GIF only has 256 Colors, and the POF JPG Compression Filter renders at the 24 Bit color Level, the Results after Upload are often poor. Uploading JPG usually produces mediocre Image Qualities on your Profile Shots, uploading BMPs cause the least amount of Degradation to your Profile Pics.

Taking a Pic of yourself using a Digital Camera in the RAW or TIF Image Format(s), if your Camera supports it/them, then converting to BMP and uploading to your Profile will produce the sharpest, clearest and most colorful Images.

Well, I had my picture deleted as they said it isn't me and it is...

My god just because one is 53 doesn't mean they can't look good at their age!
If there is problem with my picture on the site can someone tell me what it is?
I've seen others on here with pictures that show nothing of a person, yet my picture being discreetly done is rejected? Their picture with only an eye showing or two eyes only showing remains on, so to me it seems that there seems to be a selective prejudice on this site as to whose pictures will remain, and whose pictures won't.
Thats not right!
If the person who runs the site believes that this is not me NOW, which it is, then I shall gladly go on cam to prove him/her wrong.

Off topic, it seems that one of the members is actually deceased on the site, and I wondered how to directly contact the administrator to tell them this?

Hugs to all. ChickenLady

Chickenlady: the prob with your pic may have been because there's a scarf obscuring almost half of your face even if both eyes are visible. Not all the unsuitable pics will get caught right away, poor Admin only has 24 hours in a day to do his thing.

Thank you for the feedback. ChickenLady

^^^^exactly, silver! the photo is supposed to be recognizably you. hiding half your face behind that scarf, makes you unrecognizable. i'd vote to delete your photo. as the last poster mentioned, there's only one admin, and lots of violaters. he probably just hasn't gotten to you yet. if i were you, i'd put up a pic that's in conformity with the rules before he gets around to checking your profile personally.

to wit:

UPLOADING NUDITY WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNT DELETED

Cartoons, celebrity and Joke pictures are not allowed.

ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum

edit - you snuck in there, chickenlady. appreciate your small town concerns. only options are pics that conform, or no pics (but you could hide them, and exchange via emails).

Log into your E-Mail Login.

Then refresh the Profile Page, the Report User Link should now show somewhere under the the "Contact" Button and below the horizontal Links at the bottom of the Profile.

his profile is still screwy

Its the Nature of the Job ...

Is it normal to get JUST the photo deleted?

My picture posting privileged were permanently suspended, it think because the picture was taken at too great a distance and my face was not clear. This was the only time I posted an unacceptable picture.
