As far as this site is concerned. I appreciate that it is here. Whatever rules they make for a free site is up to them. So far I have very few gripes and minor ones at that.

Lovely. Free nontrade. Wonder what world war number will be the one, fun lovers versus the jealous anal retentives?

True enough IronBear but whining (I know that's not Your term) or not, I don't think it's too much to ask for consistency and overall fairness, be it rules, laws, whatever.

Welcome to the real world where everything isn't black and white.  The biggest part of the problem is that there is more than one person reviewing images/profiles and different people can look at the same thing and have differing opinions about it.  What one reviewer might pass, another might decide to err on the side of caution and deny.  It's not a perfect system, but it's better than the alternative of having a single reviewer and having it take weeks for an image to be reviewed.

To the OP:

After having recently gone through pic denial/approval, some points of interest:  you can't zoom in on a body part, and primary pics have different approval criteria than secondary pics.  Sometimes a pic that is not approved for the primary pic will be approved for a secondary.  All you can do is keep uploading pics until you hit on the right formula.


True, but the hit or miss formula of determining what the requirements are seems a little ... amateurish, even for a "for free" website, doesn't it?

I know that I"ve tried several times to upload photos, and they have always been refused for no reason that I can understand.  And then I'll see someone in the forum that has basically an identical photo (of them though, not of me.  Same pose, content and framing) that is their primary photo.

I've seen the threads about this issue, and have never said anything before, but it is one of those head-scratching things about this site.

I have the suspicion that whoever the reviewer(s) are for photo approval, that they decide sometimes just to make things interesting and roll the dice on the approval process.

Oh well.

FHky



It is interesting... I've had several photos uploaded with never any approval problems whatsoever.

stef,

If you are referring to me, I think "whining" is inaccurate.  As a matter of fact, I don't see anyone in this thread whining.

However, I do think "petulant" fits some of the people here.

Status: offline 		Because we've been here a while I guess our photos come under the grandfather clause. We tried to update and add a couple but no matter the size or format we couldn't get them updated. No matter. Although we would have loved to post a couple of new pictures it's not worth complaining about. After all, there are many alternatives where you can post whatever picture you want. They are pay sites, but that's the trade off.

It's a thankless task to moderate a free site. If some of the postings on the message board are any indication, I am suspect of the chronological age matching the majority level of the post would not meet the minimum height requirement of this ride. The photos on the ads are not the responsibility of the CM owners. Any scrutiny of these photos, regarding age or "appropriateness", would be directed to the ad source. But the scrutiny for photos "approved" for profiles on this site would be the responsibility of the site owners. It's not something that I would want to do.

Do you honestly believe that?  When people say things like this, it makes me want to buy more shares of Alcoa.

That's interesting.  I try to stay up on the litigation..etc about this law since it affects me personally.  I assumed in the beginning this would be coming but I alway's thought there would be no way to enforce it?
How can we sue...say someone in Cuba here?  Or jail them?

I have accepted the fact that it just depends on what mood whoever is approving them that day.

(Not sure if they have more than one person...but it sounded good.)

Status: offline 		Honestly I did not post this to bitch and moan or whine.. I understand- and respect the need for rules.  I merely find myself wondering at the process that accepts certain risque photos of body parts, skin, nudity, etc, and rejects photos of a couple in full clothing.  Seems like a crap shoot. I do love this site and appreciate those who moderate it.  :)  I know it is a thankless task. (Thanks to all the mods, owners and operators of CM- I DO appreciate you)
 
Again, I am not thumbing my nose at the rules, but wondering why they are not consistant for everyone. I am not obsessing, just curious..  
(I also would like to say that I have personally rejected many of the photos A1 has tried to post, so I am as much a censor as CM)
 
I appreciate rules, CONSISTANCY, and logic. After all, being a Domme, I tend to make rules.  Humans need guidlines. I do not question that!  :)  But why accept a total frontal nude shot for one person and reject a fully clothed shot of another? 
 
And yeah, I shrug and say, oh well, but still, I wonder... !

I think you on track there mate.. I'd ptobably have thought life is more leadic than ironic but perhaps there needs to be an increase of Fosters, meat pies with tomato sauce. Aussie football and free ranging sex.... Help bring perspectives together..

Can I expect to see a flood of pics with "Men in Kilts"? What about Nakid men in kilts or the men in raised kilts?

I think Stef told us why.  Because various people are reviewing photo's.  One person see's it and thinks it is ok, the next see's it and understands the law a bit better and rejects it.
All in all, for CM to totally go with the law on this..ALL photo's should be removed.  Even clothed ones of all of us and on all profiles.  Right now in the US that is really the only way to stay out of prison if you own a website.
Imagine the uproar that would cause if they did that overnight?
