RE:Erection Pics

If I saw a man approaching me with a shot gun I would feel less concerned if he was pointing it down at ground instead of at me.

The previous mods were a bit slack so a lot of older pictures are still up there.
It is the duty of ALL members to flag these legacy erection and other genital pictures to the moderators.

RE: Erection Pics

Would it not help if we could flag a photo but not the person? I see quite a few profiles where one or a small segment of photos are not appropriate but in general the other photos are acceptable as is the profile itself. I think it would help if we could do it at the photo level (which I don't see), or else add "Inappropriate photo or photos" as criteria to the four existing profile flags:

User is a fake/spam account
Harassment/Unsolicited Messages
Makes inappropriate comments/discussion
Acting inappropriately in chat room

I hate to hit the user flag when maybe one or a small number of photos are bad, which leads me to believe that the person might not even be aware that one or more photos is questionable or in bad taste.

You can do it at the photo level, but you have to open the photo first.

The bigger problem is that if a user makes a photo his/her profile photo, there is no way to flag that. You can flag the photo in their media if it's still there, but that won't flag the profile photo a it is held as a separate file.

Another problem is the ability to make a newly uploaded photo your profile photo before it has been approved. That needs to be fixed.

I have also made the recommendation to add an option at the profile flagging level "Inappropriate profile photo", but it hasn't happened yet.

IF ONLY and that's a big IF.... all the photo mods approved photos the same way, there wouldn't be an "issue" now.

There's tons of photos that "break" the rules on here for posting photos but the powers of TN don't seem to care and don't seem to care enough to fix it.

I've had photos rejected for no reason at all. Yes... NO REASON AT ALL, all the rules were followed! Once I wrote to Team True 2 and requested a reason... all he could quote were the rules. He had no idea why. After several messages, he said I could try to post again.

Just like a thought floated in the chat rooms many times.... moderators should be made to tell users why they are banned or muted. Not just a simple push of a button with (no apparent) reason. Photo mods MUST tell users why photos are rejected. You obviously accepted the job as a photo mod, now do it properly!!

Regarding the ability to report abuse on a photo level I've just found it: your curser has to be on the picture and it's on the bottom of the picture details. From a user perspective I would have expected it to be on the top with the Download, Comments, Views, and Like labels or for it to be a function once you opened the picture.

My bad..

There are an average of 200-600 pics a day being uploaded. It is difficult enough to review all of them without having to give reason for denial. It would take a major software change to add a button that automaticially sent message with reason it was denied.

So how many people are the mods for the photos and if you had say 30 people doing this which would be easy to find there would be only 20 each to do each day if it is as much as 600 but if only 200 that day it will be down to 7 that day so I can't see a problem at all if the site owner decided to keep the site as true nudist against having it as a people think nudity means sex.

First I have to agree with the majority that I don't like or appreciate those photos that try to push the envelope artistically nor those that are just blatantly explicit; That's not what nudism is about and that's not why I'm here.

Anyone working in software knows that the system can't just manage inappropriate photos and as such there either have to be additional software flags in play or there needs to be a human touch.

I think the first step before inappropriate photos can ever be addressed in a more aggressive manner and in compliance with the rule-set is that the majority of active and real nudists needs to starts flagging photos when they are sexual in nature. I know it can be somewhat "subjective" but when I look at a profile and see a picture that is sexual in nature I flag it.

If the real nudists on this site start to do so then, and only then, can there be a dialogue about how it's handled afterwards - be it a review board of members, maybe a series of system flags, possibly a certain number of flags on a given photo. Until we as a group come to a consensus about the rules and start flagging photos that we see then I don't think that we can argue that the moderators or software engineers figure out how the issue can be addressed...
