RE: the Sarah Backman pics & RE: Michelle Andrea & RE: Heidi Vuorela (yes nobody asked but she's the worst for it)
There were already on the site at the time they were denied.
Dupicates always have been and always will be a problem.
None of us are the orginal photographer, for the most part we got them online somewhere we passed through.
And as soon as anyone modifies the original image and saves it, it is no longer the same image in the eyes of a computer.
This also leads to the problem of crops, which get cropped, which get cropped again. (On night I found 13 different images of the same photo, which was a morph to start with!)
The Uploader: Man I just posted a picture of some hot chicks abs, I hope it gets approved today!
Mod: Oh look guys, we have a winner, its the 50th Re-cropping of Andressa Vieira or Karen Zaremba's abs
(Yes, I had to look the names up for that one, you want names ask TL, Heck I do good to remember where I left my laptop! But anyways the uploader might not now who's abs they are, or that its a blow up image based on a cropped image from an original photograph, nor even the mod that gets it, but trust me someone somewhere, on this board will see the 3 freckles in the shape of the triforce and tell you that is Old Sister Puff-n-Stuff's Abs, from when she was 20 or younger, because she had them removed on her twentyfirst birthday which was 42 years ago.)
What we have here is a reoccurring problem and its a rather complex problem. (Not you, I just mean in general)
I would say maybe it lack of understanding of the guidelines, and peoples different perceptions.
Uploader is into
A.) Super-Steroid-Mankiller so big she cant be photographed she must be CGI'ed
B.) Ripped Pro-Bodybuilders
C.) Off-season Pro-Bodybuilders
D.) Ripped Pro-Fitness
C.) Off-season Pro-Fitness
E.) Ripped Pro-Figure
F.) Off-season Pro-Figure
G.) Ripped Pro-Bikini
H.) Off-season Pro-Bikini
I.) Amateur Bodybuilder / Fitness / Figure / Bikini
J.) Naturally muscled or gym going gals
K.) All girls are stronger than X
L.) No matter how big all girls are weaker than Y
M.) Which is for whoever the heck keeps uploading guys and naked guys!
N.) (Which is for No, No, and Hell No!) 5 year older with arms so big they cant be photgraphed they must be CGI'ed
and last but not least...
T.) (Yes T,which is for Trolls,) no matter which side of the line you stand, the troll will argue the other.
All of this leads to:
Uploader: Why wasn't my picture approved?!?
Mod: Because it was already posted 12 different times.
Uploaded: But why wasn't MY picture approved.
Mod: Because the original was already approved or at least a better/higher resolution version was
The Uploader then continues uploaded the same image for the next 12 months until it either to slip past in with another group of pictures only to be deleted later.)
Before merge, the pecking order was Original-> Better Resolution -> Whatever cropped copy landed first
Age: I'm not going to lie if I have to really debate with myself if she's old enough, I'm going to can it, yes she might be a gymnast but if she looks 12, and she's not showing me ID, it's outta here
The Uploader then continues uploaded the same image for the next 12 months until it manages to slip past in with another group of pictures only to be deleted later.)
The Mod after 5 warnings later bans said user for 2 days, then 5 days, and then 7 days.
Large Volumes of the same photo in the same clothes at the same place from a slightly different angle. ( It's part of a paid set of private photos and its mass delete.)
The Uploader then continues uploaded the same image for the next 12 months until it either to slip past in with another group of pictures only to be deleted later.)
Anorexic: Skinny & veins: do not equal muscle, just bending the arm doesn't do it, if i cant really see a visible muscle, abs, calves, bicep something in the pic, it's outta here.
(On the flip side, I've also canned some off-season pro-fbb's because in the photo it just looked like some fat chick bending her arms)
The Uploader: I've uploaded my picture 22 times and it keeps getting rejected
Mod: What was the picture?
The Uploader:
This one here
And this one
Mod: Where do I even start?
The Uploader: After a year of rejection, the user then starts creating a new account and re-uploads the same (insert number here) images every week.
And yes for the record those two pictures DO IN FACT, end up in the queue multiple times every week.
Now add all this up with our current user base, and you queues of around 2,000 images and nearly 25% of which is the same images, again and again
Also the rules are general guidelines, unless its a legal issue, its subjective to the mod judging the image at the time and his/her perception. A persons perception changes on a daily basis, I noticed that some days I'll approve a picture and see the same one the next day and go who the heck approved that one?!?! Other days I'm very strict to the guidelines.
Don't get me wrong gang I love what I do, I'm not real social, I come in, clean up the queue, and go and quite happy. But even my with the 3 Monitors and 81" of real estate on my main rig, and using zoom, its still just a row of four thumbnails unless you open a new browser or tab for each one. Things will slip, accidents will happen. And as my ex's are so fond of telling me, I do make mistakes from time to time.
But with the exception of the Sister's good name, none of this is even the least bit exaggerated.
(P.S. RE: Miss Red Thong, Didnt see any muscle in there to approve that, but I would damn sure bend her....... -Censored- and scream -Censored -
Please Stand By.... We are having Technical difficulties....
