ORIGINAL: tazzygirl quote:
They don't manually approve the photos you upload. It also states on the upload page not to upload artwork. It doesn't say artwork that is copyrighted - just artwork. No, they manually review all photos reported. quote:
The three things explicitly stated on the upload page are - Please only post pictures you took yourself Please do not post commercial photos or artwork Please do not post explicit primary photos And, just like on the forums, many do not follow those either. quote:
To me, to report a violation shouldn't be limited by how many I can do. And 'commercial' doesn't equate to 'copyrighted' either. And yet free use isnt necessarily commercial. Commercial art is the art of creative services, referring to art created for commercial purposes, primarily advertising. The term has become increasingly anachronistic in favor of more contemporary terms such as graphic design and advertising art. quote:
The mods on the other side should have the ability to look at new profiles as they come in and stop the abuse of the ToS as it happens. Not shoot the messenger when they report ToS violations. The Admins here are volunteer and often work different sections. Any idea how many photos are uploaded to this system a day? You claimed to have reported hundreds of photos a day. How long did those reports take you? How many did you verify as being truly commercial art work? How many were free use? How many days did you do this? Since each report is manually reviewed, verified, then decided upon, thats a long, long time. Couple that with just a few posters doing the same... and can you imagine the work load for one or two reviewers? Who are volunteers? How long would you do it? You're missing his point Taz. He was moderated for FOLLOWING the rules. He didn't break the rules, all he did was point out violations. Are you saying that it is not only OK to make up rules, it's OK to punish those who would see the written ones enforced?
