WhiteRadiance -> The Irony of CM "rules" (8/2/2006 11:41:14 AM)
I made my slave create a profile so he can participate in the forums. For a couple of weekes we (both) have struggled to find "appropriate" photos to add to his profile. I cannot grasp why the Gods of CM frown upon a pic of a slave with feet on his face, when the CM homepage has filthy words and lewd pictures- encouraging everyone to "Get fucked tonight" LOL Am I the only one who finds this both annoying and amusing? I have had so many decent, non-fetish, non-nude photos rejected it is becoming a joke. Staci

Actually if you are in the lifestyle you should know about the laws that affect us all. There is a law that is now being upheld called Article 2557, that will explain why you cannot find an appropriate photo. If you don't like the law perhaps you should start backing those opposed to it. Collarme has not enforced the law to the full affect yet. Probably because it would be a mountain of work for an all volunteer site. I really don't understand why one needs a photo of themselves to participate in a discussion.

Nobody cares that you don't care but clearly someone cares about having a photo and was discussing that so why not just stay silent and let them have their discussion. I agree about photos, I can't quite grasp why they allow certain images but not others that are no more risque and often less so than the porn ads here.

dutchgirlinmyers -> RE: The Irony of CM "rules" (8/2/2006 2:17:45 PM)
how come they allow your pic with your boobies hanging out?[&:]

I had 3 photos denied last week. In all of them, My husband and I were together, clothed, and only photographed from about shoulders up. In one, we were smiling at one another. In one, we were sticking our tongues out at each other, almost kissing. In one, we were making silly faces at the camera. All 3 were sent back to Me for not being "within our community standards", so maybe it's against the rules to be a loving couple, I dunno.

Educate yourself or not crappy. It doesn't matter to me if you remain ignorant on the law. I merely stated the laws of this country. Which ALL websites have to abide by or just disappear. I never said it was fair. Though it is a fact of life.

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.

My favourite are the unabashed pussy shots on the advertising. Yep, that'll make me want to run right over to that site alright. Am I the only one who is continually surprised that all the women in those ads are from the same city as me? LOL

Since when has Ontario, Canada been joined to the Australian mainland and part of Queensland? You mean to tell me that the bloody Pacific Duck Pond has been drained or the land masses have moved???? The location on mine come up as Slacks Creek.. Must be a Whore suburbe I guess....

This is fun. I do so love it when there's a meltdown here. Stupid law, stupid regulations, who cares? It's still stupid.

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

Rules is Rules and you can't play in the sand box unless you follow the Rules..... Your Sand Box, you pay for it's upkeep, you get to make the Rules

What I can't understand is why you can have a FAR more revealing pic on that other site that begins with an "A" than on here! The people's profile photos in here are absolutely "G" rated compared to other sites! Sheesh!

Estring -> RE: The Irony of CM "rules" (8/2/2006 6:56:49 PM)
The rules do seem a bit arbitrary. I posted a pic of my slave naked and bowing about a year ago. I just tried to post another pic of her in almost the exact same pose, and was told it didn't conform to Collarme policy. I was puzzled, but in all honesty, it isn't that big of a deal.

Pardon my ignorance, what is that law and how does it affect a CollarMe photo? I'm not one who does a lot of thread pulling here or searching for that matter. However Article 2557 is a law that has been on the books for sometime. Just in the last year the feds have decided to really uphold it. Basically the law was to protect children and offenders. Though they are now using it against any site with nudity on the net. BDSM sites have been targeted the most for some reason. A great deal of absolutely excellent sites have already shut down. All it takes is for someone to wander here...and it will be shut down with everyone scratching their heads wondering what happened as well. You can do a search as I stated. Though what it comes down to is just about any photograph on the net has to have a model signed release...address and phone number...etc. So, if say the feds come knocking on CM tomorrow. The owners have to produce all of these or go to jail for ten years for each offense. On the site someplace they also must have the record holders name and address in public view in case they want to inquire. Basically if you have a face you need to put your personal info beside your face or risk going to jail for ten years. People say they don't need to know the rules or laws. Those are people who don't live the lifestyle, because it has become hell for all of us who do and who own sites. Collarme has been incredibly lucky so far.

A1slave -> RE: The Irony of CM "rules" (8/2/2006 7:58:10 PM)
I knew the picture of me wearing the tux down on my knees kissing Ms Staci's ass was probably out of the question. However the photos that she mentions above were quite benign and would have been ok for the fun section of any high school yearbook fun pages. What She/we questioned was the fact that it seems so arbitrary when picture selections occur. Geesh, don't hate me cause I'm beautiful A1

Your Sand Box, you pay for it's upkeep, you get to make the Rules 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. Just because a thing can be done, doesn't mean it should be.

Emperor1956 -> RE: The Irony of CM "rules" (8/2/2006 11:16:29 PM)
Don't you people get it? This is a DOMINANCE/submission Website. Its a little known fact that the "mods" at CollarMe are actually one very old, very cranky gnome (he doubles as a mascot for that Travel website) who gets off on randomly denying you your pictures. EVERY TIME you submit a picture and it gets denied, the gnome gets off! (and yes, Virginia, an angel gets its wings, too...but I digress.) The CM mod makes all of you his bitches. IronBear got it right, except he inexplicably left out the nasty-Dom-gnome with a deny fetish. Go know? E. (Doesn't the world work better when its all explained to you?)
