Posted: 4/30/2008 8:41:04 PM | Thanks TickettoRide (if you did it). My upload works now and I will keep my photos private so they can't be used against me.
Seems to me if someone doesn't like my photo they should skip over my profile, not attack it. After all, there's plenty of other fish on here ;-)

Posted: 6/19/2008 1:52:23 AM | Sorry maybe being a bit dim but can't actually see a way to get uploading reinstated from either of the links you've given Tickettoride, one is to a redundant thread and one is to some terms of service.
Am very sorry if i've done something wrong by wearing shades, but then that would surely remove a good proportion of the people on this site and it could plausably be applied to me wearing my spectacles in a photo too?
Please clarify on this point as I dont want to cause more trouble for myself if I do get my uploading powers reinstated... | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 2:38:58 PM | my main picture has just been deleted and it was of me and my daughter, close up but we had face masks on of the creamy sort good for the skin etc, but you could still see it was me maybe the red hair gave it away and the smile!!!!!!!
it has really mad me angry because you could see it was me and it was a good start for a lot of emails. i constantly see profiles of people that are as big as ants, drawings, cats, boobs, butts, dogs, famous people etc and then mine gets deleted,
who decides to delete them please, and do i have to be reported an x amount of time before they get deleted, i had my whole profile deleted a while back and i hadnt broken any rules, i do find this site very odd at times who decides what is ok and what isnt etc, because if it is down to others reporting you then it only takes vindictive people who will report you for not falling at their feet at the first email to get your profile deleted hardly seems a good idea to me, i answer all my emails and for most of them i say thankyou and take care, if this is the reason for being deleted then maybe someone needs to look at the way this is handled.
thank you

In view of the Fact that you had posted an Image as a Main Pic where the Identity of the User was most definitely in Question, instead of balling your Eyes out and fault-finding the Image Review Process, simply place a Clear Head Shot into your Profile that removes any Doubt as to the Identity of the User.
You come back here whining & ranting again, that's the End of your Pic Uploads.

Posted: 7/10/2008 2:04:54 AM | | I had several photos deleted even though they showed my head and even my eyes in some of them. I have the same photos on , Facebook, Myspace , UKHippy and Hipforums and have not been delelted. Copyrighted? Yes my copyright. They were taken on my camera and processed on my PC. Indecent? That would make all advertising for underwear indecent. Why should you not put your best foot forward? | |

"Some" is irrelevant. The Images you upload have to contain you in it with a Head Shot.
I have the same photos on , Facebook, Myspace , UKHippy and Hipforums and have not been deleted.
We don't care what their Policies are, here the Images you upload stipulate you to be clearly recognizable.
Copyrighted? Yes my copyright.
Anything that is Copywritten you cannot upload.

Anything that is Copywritten you cannot upload.
As I understand the law on copy write in Australia is if you write something that you did not plagiarise then it is your copy write, similarly if you own a photo either one you took your self or one you authorised to be taken then the photo is your copy write.
Laws of indecency have not changed over the years but the interpretation of such laws has.
These days a woman going topless on a public beach is no longer considered to be indecent but it would have so once upon a time. I strongly doubt a photo of a man in undies on a dating site would be considered indecent by today's standards.
I have a sneaky feeling that a ghost from my past may have viewed my profile and put in a vexatious complaint. | |

Posted: 8/13/2008 11:54:51 PM | OK, here is my deal.
I had my upload privlages revoked ( I guess, I see no BROWSE or Upload ). I received a nastygram from Admin saying I had violated some aspect of the Pic upload criteria.
I honestly did not know what I did wrong. I have spent over 1.5 hrs following link after link trying to figure out why my image was deleted. FINALLY after drilling down thru umpteen pages I found it - no sunglasses!!!! And no celeb pics!!!!
But I had to drill down and follow many dead-end links to find this. Had I known this to start with I would never have done either, so why when a person has innocently violated the rules does their upload privelages get revoked???
Is it too much to ask, or does it tax someones abilities too much to actually put all these nefarious rules on the IMAGES upload page, without all the dozens of links and drill downs? Who does this???? If that info had been on the Images upload page to start with, I would never had done it, as I would have KNOWN not to do it. As it is/was, it took me almost 2 hrs to wade thru all the various links and forumns to find the answer as to what I did wrong. Everyone of these 'rules' needs to be on the first page that pops up when you select IMAGES from the main menu. The first thing it says is UPLOADING NUDITY WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNT DELETED. WHY would all the other rules not be there as well?????
I am a fairly decent ASP.NET type and Web Developer, although Lan/Wan security is my specialty, if its too much trouble or taxes someones abilities too much let me do it - it would take me all of 30 seconds.
Why would anyone design the thing to have to drill down to find this stuff in the first place? Seems almost like a setup, because unless someone DID drill down ( and why would they think they had to to start with ) no one would ever know all these multi-facted rules, variations and sub variations.
I am not complaing ABOUT the rules, just that they are not easily found, especially to someone who is new and does not know to go drilling all over the site like it was an oil field in Texas. My God it took me an hour just to find these forumns.
And then to get a NastyGram on top of it, when it was an innocent mistake..........yeah I am a bit riled.
My main pic had sunglasses. Ok, so I wont upload pics of me with sunglasses. Why cant someone just say that and ask you to remove it without all the threats and authoritarian blustering?
I also uploaded a pic of Liv Tyler. Again who knew???? I did not have it 'checked' to display on my profile, I kept it private. The only reason it was there was because in my profile I say that Liv Tyler is my dream date, but I constant;y got emails from illiterate people who cannot read, that said" you misspelled LIZ TAYLOR" or words to that effect. I mean who the hell doesnt know who Liv Tyler is, and what nut would confuse her with Liz Taylor? Well the answer is apparently alot of nuts, who must've had their head in a Hollywood hole for the past 20 yrs. So I put a pic of Liv up there ( private ) to shoot to these mental morons who mistook my VERY CLEAR words LIV TYLER as LIZ TAYLOR.
A completely innocent mistake. But instead of a professional polite warning, I get a nastygram and my privalages revoked.
Can I please get my upload privaleges reinstated? Now that I know where the Pic Rules ALL are ( several diff places ), I can abide by them, indeed I never intentionally DIDNT abide by them.
And can we please put an end to these nastygrams? There is no need for such behavior unless it is CLEAR that a person is INTENTIONALLY violating the rules. Otherwise, a polite professional note asking the user to please remove the offending photo with a CLEAR link to the relevant rules ( a link that requires NO drill down ) that was violated.
PLEASE

Dont count on it Beach! I had a private pic used against me..........got my upload privlages revoked for a private pic. Got pic deleted too.
If its not displayed and is private, I dont see why anyone gives a rats-ass what it is, but apparently they do.
the rules clearly state @ http://www.plentyoffish.com/faq.aspx#images
What are the guidelines for a PROFILE PICTURE?
Images must be in JPG, BMP, or GIF format. Images must NOT contain any nudity or offensive material. Images must NOT contain cartoons or celebrities. You can upload a maximum of 8 images. If images are too large, they will not upload properly.
Well the pic I got deleted and upload banned was a PRIVATE pic of Liv Tyler. The above only references celeb pics in the context of PROFILE PICS. No where does it say it is not allowed as a Private pic, but I got slammed for it anyway.

1.5 Hours? The celebrity clause is right on the IMAGE upload page. Sunglasses are found only 2 links deeper, and those if are totally dark and cover a good portion make someone unrecognizable.
Example 1
UPLOADING NUDITY WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNT DELETED
You can upload up to 8 images, you may keep these images hidden from other members by selecting not to display them on your profile.
Make sure the image isn't above 5.2MB or it won't upload.
Cartoons, celebrity, Torso and Joke pictures are not allowed.
Make sure the image is in JPG, BMP or GIF format.
You can share these private pictures with other members when sending them a message.
More help for Add / Change / Delete Images
ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum

Had I known this to start with I would never have done either, so why when a person has innocently violated the rules does their upload privelages get revoked???
You did know right off the bat right here IMAGE upload page, or again, see above Example 1 the Image Upload page.
I also uploaded a pic of Liv Tyler. Again who knew???? I did not have it 'checked' to display on my profile, I kept it private.
again , you're instructed not to upload them right on the IMAGE upload page - you're harping on something that doesn't wash. What does it matter if you kept it private when the biggest of all statements spcifically states
Example 2
ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum

ALL means ALL, no?
But I had to drill down and follow many dead-end links to find this.
Dead end links? "Dead End" means they go to an unresolved address or a completely irrelevant page. All you had to do was read the one link on the IMAGE upload page. - More help for Add / Change / Delete Images which when read shows the following as a summary:
If your Image does not upload, or only partially uploads, it is because:
- E-Mail Login or E-Mail Logout Issues: Upload/Delete Problems
- Your Image upload Privileges have been revoked: Image Problems
- Your Image is not in Compliance as per: Image Types
- Site Traffic is bursting at the Seams or Server Down.
- Firewall/Browser Settings blocking Site - Check Internet Options
- Spy/Adware - Popups, Virus' or Browser Hijacks
- Other Technical Difficulties: Images not showing up Issues
- Your ISP is dropping Packets. Faulty Portal/Internet Connection.

If its not displayed and is private, I dont see why anyone gives a rats-ass what it is, but apparently they do.
It's the honour system here, there's no provision in the above rules that state, "hiding unacceptable pictures is ok", or "if you can get away with it, it's ok". Too many people were playing even more asshat games with pics. An inch was initially given, miles were consantly being taken -time to stem the crap.
Try this stunt with a paying dating site that has 300 people at 5 bucks an hour and a time delayed vetting process - going to complain there? They have just as strict rules.
Bottom line, no hours on end searching - straight forward, on the IMAGE upload page, then the summary link on the same page Add / Change / Delete Images
Well the pic I got deleted and upload banned was a PRIVATE pic of Liv Tyler. The above only references celeb pics in the context of PROFILE PICS. No where does it say it is not allowed as a Private pic, but I got slammed for it anyway.
Where do you think the pictures are attached to? - your profile. Whether they're visible or not has no baring on the fact as they are attached to your profile. It's just another weak semantics argument. Much like another chap arguing the back of his head was a visible head shot - or an extreme closeup of 2 eyes was ok - to which I ask -and of what value is that?

Well I can tell you a possible reason. For example, nude pics, private or not, shouldnt be on the site. Just cause its a hidden pic doesnt mean its acceptable. Lets be honest, if its on your profile, even hidden, its for the intent of emailing people. Do any of us need pics of naked penises sent to us - I think not. Its against the code of conduct for a reason. Ditto with pics of celebs - can you say copyright infrigement? | |

Posted: 8/15/2008 9:09:35 PM | Hello again - thanx for answering Trapped
Again I am not arguing ABOUT the rules, just that some are ambiguous, subjective, and in more than one place.
As regards to the Celeb pics, yes you are correct that IS covered on the IMAGES page, however, it is also covered in more detail at:
http://www.plentyoffish.com/faq.aspx#images
where it says
What are the guidelines for a PROFILE PICTURE?
Images must be in JPG, BMP, or GIF format. Images must NOT contain any nudity or offensive material. Images must NOT contain cartoons or celebrities. You can upload a maximum of 8 images. If images are too large, they will not upload properly.
So I took this to mean a displayed profile pic, as how would anyone but me know about it if it was private? Again I did not intentionally break the rules........
As for the sunglasses thing, it should be on the Images page as well. As should ever pic rule, variation and subvariation, and exception.
For example, no where in the rules does it state that SMALL sunglasses are ok, you have to wade thru and read the forumn to find that. the 'head-angle' is alos similarly not in the rules but in the forumns.
Most people jump on here and are new and anxious to get started and frankly are not going to go hunting all over the place for the Rules, instead most, like me, will assume all the rules are present on the main IMAGE page. Even I only ran across the forumns for this by accident after much searching.
My point being is that most violations, at least like mine, are innocent and a nice, polite, professional reminder is probably all that is required - not nastygrams and removal of privialges.
May I PLEASE have my upload priv back? I promise to sunglasses or celeb pics or any to violate the rules now that I know what they are and where.
Pretty Please?

Posted: 8/16/2008 1:30:46 PM | Like I asked ( and convenient;y got ignored ) WHY would all these rules NOT be posted in ONE place? Does it tax someones intellect or resources too much? Like I said, if it does, let me do it for you, it would take me all of 30 seconds to modifyu the IMAGE page to include ALL the rules. Would it take you fellows longer????
And WHY would you have to drill down even one link much less two? And the references to sunglass and head-angle shots is not ANYWHERE in the rules, it is in the Forumns. WHY would any Newbie have any idea he had to go drilling thru links to get to forums to see Rules that should be in one place to start with?
Additioanlly the Private Pic thing is where I got hung up in the Celeb thing. No one was trying to play semantics, its called PRIVATE for a reason right? I again ask, if it is private and not Displayed on your PROFILE, why would anyone care, except someone on a control and power trip?
WHAT is the point in having a private pic if it has to follow the same rules as a displayed one? A diff which makes no diff IS no diff.
And again, would it tax someones abilities to actually SAY "these rules apply to ALL pics, Displayed and Private???? Arthritis acting up and thats too many characters to type? Whats the deal?
But the most compelling datum that these rules do NOT apply to Private pics ( why would they anyway ) is that another poster made the following comment in THIS forumn, to which TicketTo Ride did NOT object to:
Thanks TickettoRide (if you did it). My upload works now and I will keep my photos private so they can't be used against me.
Admin did it / Ticketoride
Again I did NOT intentionally break any rules. MY inpterpretation of the ambiguous and multi-locationed rules simply brought me to this conclusion. WE are not in you guys head, and therefore our reasonuing may not match your view of things. THAT is why the Rules for Pic upload ( and everything else for that matter ) needs to be in ONE place, and certainly not in the forumns. How can anyone argue with that????

Posted: 8/16/2008 2:33:52 PM | Quick question..... So when all 4 of a profiles photo's are group pics.... Of four white blonds.... and her profile says she is a blond Caucasian... Uhhhhh no way to tell at all who the profile is for at all..... Might as well of posted another persons photo as their own right?
I mean we all pray its the cute one (wink) but.... Why allow the group photos either?
Is that more vague then a long distance photo if they don't say "I'm the second from the left" or something???

On the Profile Image Uploads page click »» Add / Change / Delete Images where you will find ---> Images: Upload Problems. These Links are posted there because we expect you to read and understand the Data.
Does it tax someones intellect or resources too much?
Its all there, you just need to actually read it.
And the references to sunglass and head-angle shots is not ANYWHERE in the rules, it is in the Forumns.
There is a lot of Data, thus we expect you to read the Links and sub-links ... its all there.
Images: Upload Problems = a Categorical Breakdown to facilitate better Oversight, and its all clearly labeled. All that's left is the Intelligence and inititiative to read them.
Additioanlly the Private Pic thing is where I got hung up in the Celeb thing. No one was trying to play semantics, its called PRIVATE for a reason right? I again ask, if it is private and not Displayed on your PROFILE, why would anyone care, except someone on a control and power trip?
I don't care if you paste it on your Forehead. The Key Word is "Uploading" as in »» "Cartoons, celebrity, Torso and Joke pictures are not allowed."
WHAT is the point in having a private pic if it has to follow the same rules as a displayed one? A diff which makes no diff IS no diff.
In this Fashion you cannot attach Nudies to anyone, be it deliberately or inadvertantly.
And again, would it tax someones abilities to actually SAY "these rules apply to ALL pics, Displayed and Private?
The Key Word is "Upload". Understand it and you are well on your Way.
Thanks TickettoRide (if you did it). My upload works now and I will keep my photos private so they can't be used against me.
I see no Reference to the Uploading of any Images which are non-compliant.
So when all 4 of a profiles photo's are group pics.... Of four white blonds.... and her profile says she is a blond Caucasian... Uhhhhh no way to tell at all who the profile is for at all.....
If you cannot determine who the User in a Group Pic is, vote to delete and/or report as non-compliant Image.

Anyone found with Non-compliant Images will be reported, and will in due Time, when the Admin has a few Minutes left, delete those Pics and often rescind Upload Privileges. You are not getting any Reports from us about other Users, and vice versa. Beyond that, e-mail the Admin for a Reply, as Moderators do not remove User Images.

Posted: 8/22/2008 4:44:32 AM | ok, third time I've had my main image deleted
it's a half face shot....a bit artsy...but clear and large
(third picture in my bunch, there)
problem is, when you deleted that...which piszed me off anyway....you deleted most of my photos, and I have to upload all over again.
Yet, I see many pics..last night of three or four people in a party situation, or blurred out..and we're supposed to guess which one is the Profiler.
it is a great site you have here...but it might be time to recognize artsy shots, or profile shots from the side with good lighting.
..and first go thru and eliminate all of the 'group' shots...heIl, that should keep y'all busy for quite a while, dont ya think?

and it most likely will continue to get deleted
(i've never understod why people dont get the hint after 1 deletion besides multiple)
the rules of posting pics basically are your face must be in the pic and you must be recognizable.
but it might be time to recognize artsy shots, or profile shots from the side with good lighting
or it might be time to recognize the current rules and follow them before the moderators or admin come in and totally remove your ability to upload any pics. | |

..and first go thru and eliminate all of the 'group' shots
There is no “going through”, non-compliant photos are deleted when they are reported and if the Admin agrees they are not to his rules.
heIl, that should keep y'all busy for quite a while, dont ya think?
There is no y’all, it is one guy. The Admin/Big Fixh/Creator of the site is the only one that can delete photos or accounts, and as the lovely lady above mentioned just keep pushing it and you might not be able to upload anything. | |
