Primary photos are displayed many places on this site and forums, so they are important. For that reason, photos are manually cropped by staff to display members at their best on the web and to maintain a personal, face-to-face feel in the forums. This process is time consuming for staff, but we feel it is worthwhile and sets this site apart from many others.
Those of you who are complaining here about your photos have all received notes from admin which state that your primary photo on the site “must be of YOU and must show your face”. Your photo must be a clear representation of you and it must show your face. You cannot add a photo of your feet and change it later to be your primary photo! If you do, it is changed to secondary photo by staff when they see it. If you continue to change the photo to primary, it is deleted.
Photos of your pet, auto, etc., have been accepted as secondary photos AS LONG AS they remain secondary and never changed to primary.
For safety reasons, photos of children should not be posted. For copyright reasons, photos of celebrities, cartoons, artwork by others, etc., cannot be posted. For respectability reasons, nudity is not allowed.
It’s simple: post a clear, tasteful picture of yourself and enjoy the site. If you don’t want to show your real self on your profile – don’t add a photo! It’s up to you….
Troy - Thanks for taking the time to explain the reasoning behind the decisions made .... obviously alot of the complaining is needless and unwarranted but having a better explanation is helpful and perhaps some of these reasons/rules need to be added into the posting rules of photos so that there is no further confusion.
Troy...thank you for taking the time to come on the forums and share with us...perhaps if now and then a moderator did make an appearance and did offer an explanation for some of the "happenings"...then it would clear up alot of misunderstandings before they take root...
