Whoever is marking pics as Private needs glasses or needs to rate fairly on everyones pics !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will delete all my pictures and videos immediately if they get the red flame or if my videos are on for more than 2 days (from then on also only for paying users). My content should be visible for everyone. I don't want anyone to have to pay for MY pictures and videos. I know that the server and the work on the site have to be financed, but not by selling MY content. I would never take money for my pictures and videos. And I certainly don't want third parties arbitrarily blocking my images to make them available only to a small paying elite. The reason I stopped using this site for 10 years was exactly this practice (together with hard upload restriction at that time). What should keep users on this site if they come across almost only blocked content? By now, I almost always see the same users in the dating list, in the "new" lists, etc. I'm sure there won't be more if you lock out most of them. I'll keep my pictures and videos free to everyone as best I can. What gets censored, I delete.

I concur with strumpfhos. Currently I have made ALL my photos private, so at least they can be viewed if I send them specifically. In the past these photos were NOT marked as X-rated, based on the comments and messages and views received, but they ALL had been recently marked as such. I, too, am not interested in providing free content viewable only by the paid members. More than likely, I will soon just delete everything and not bother to visit the site at all, since it seems to be geared only toward the paying members. I, for one, don't mind the ads on other sites that are more open to free members. In any case, there are a LOT of options available for those of us who just want to interact with like-minded individuals, and that do not cater solely to paid members.

That seems to be the case-- it designated them as "X-rated" and blocks the rest of us from seeing them, regardless of the intention of the person to whom the photos belong.

After 24h hours, yes.

I read a lot of frustration here. If you have any constructive suggestions please share them with us. Or create a new thread to make it easier to follow.

I think the suggestions are spelled out-- either don't mark pics as x-rated or allow all members to see all pics per the wishes of the members providing them.

I can understand the new members' voices here that joined after the site went non-Premium for a few months. But for long time members like you, slicktool9, I'm confused. You've seen that it was stricter (marking of x-rated was done by user and former admin) and more restrictive. Regardless of who said what, I listen, take note of these voices and adjust them accordingly. Please note, that there are also voices on the other side that aren't expressed here; and voices that are represented by numbers.

Let me lock this thread for now. If you have more suggestions that haven't been stressed out yet, please feel free to create a new thread so we can follow much easier. Cheers!
