I've been asking in private messages why my image uploading privledge has been revoked and no one can even answer me. So I'll ask out loud: what the heck is the problem? You never said a thing to me, no warning, then this. Come on, speak up already. Topic Moved by - Drew Black on Aug 16 2008

Same thing for everyone, happened to me too (I kind of guess the doctored photo I uploaded did not quite make the rules but as I wanted to do some further photoshop work my privileges had been revoked already) . An E-mail warning would have been nice, didn't E-mail the mods about it though, meant to post something in Tech Talk... If moderators don't have the time to notify and explain the revocation (even with a form message) , then please get more moderators on board! Edited by - Joey Starr on 8/16/2008 3:56:02 AM
If you are talking about ADT, then the most likely reason is that you uploaded a picture to your account that didn't abide by the image rules. All images uploaded are checked for compliance, not just the ones used in a forum post.
I don't have time to email every single person that violates the image policy. We get hundreds of images uploaded every day and we review every single image. I don't disable someone's image uploading privileges for a single violation. I simply delete the images. You have to do it more than once before I shut you off. If your image uploading gets turned off the first thing you should do is go to the files and folders area of your profile and look at the images that have been deleted. Ordell, you had uploaded 17 images prior to me shutting you off. Of those 17 images 7 have been deleted for violating the image policy (12677_Y_yumaasami10_123_164lo, 4_191.jpg, ebod004.jpg, gra_yua160.jpg, MDYD-295.jpg, mid267jp-5.jpg, sayuri04.jpg) Also, take a look at 4_191.jpg. You uploaded this one twice. The first time it was in violation of the image policy so you cropped out the offending portion and uploaded the same image again. If I know the source image violates the acceptable image policy I'll delete an image. So if you hadn't noticed almost half of the images that you had previously uploaded were subsequently deleted I don't know what to tell you. In my book that's all the warning I need to give someone. That should have been the first clue that something wasn't right.
I don't keep track of the revocations. If someone has a question or a problem with the revoking decision they can write to me and I'll reconsider.

So we're to be mind readers? I was told by someone, not you but I forget who, not to show pictures with bush, which cracked me up since this is a PORN SITE. But since then I cropped my uploads and uploaded several pictures since then with the hair pie removed. THEN you decided to yank the privledges, even though I had been playing by the rules after being told what not to show. But whatever. I'll just make a new account. Or maybe just won't bother. I have no patience for American porn anyway, even though I like talking to people who are gaining appreciation for JAV, and I really could care less for being a part of a board whose admin has your attitude.
Real bad attitude, Ordell. Did you ever actually read the Image Policy? Steph and Drew have the patience of saints. Why you choose to argue, quibble and belittle ADT -- instead of enjoy this sane porn paradise Steph and Drew have created for us -- is beyond me. FYI, the ADT Image Policy exists to protect us -- here in the United States -- from prosecution relating to 2257 record-keeping requirements. A very real concern with the Bush "Justice Department" still in power. Over on the IAFD, we take it one step further; We don't depict nudity with our headshots at all!
If you would just read Drew's post you would see that it wasn't a personal thing at all. The image policy specifically states that the images can't be cropped. It's not Drew giving attitude. It's Drew trying to make sure he doesn't run into legal problems. Any one of us would have probably had our image privileges revoked for repeated violations. I'm sure it can't be easy to run a forum like this. Drew puts time into it and he's more than fair with everyone.
Then did you not notice I had been complying with the rules once they were made clear to me? I wouldn't be half as mad if you'd yanked it after the first few offenses. But when someone told me no pubes, I began trimming pictures in Photoshop and hunting around for acceptable JAV pics. THEN I get nailed, after I towed the line. THAT's what irks me.
Of course you could have solved the entire problem by just reading the rules which are clearly linked on the upload image box before uploading pictures.

Photos are good. And Ordell, you may have thought you were toeing the line, but you weren't -- and, in any event, your subjective intent in that regard is meaningless to the people who run the site. They're the ones who have to worry about the FBI showing up at the door one day, not you.
No, please go back and look at the file dates and images that you uploaded. I don't arbitrarily go back and deactivate people's uploading rights well after-the-fact of a violation. You might have started "towing the line" at some point but apparently forgot. You uploaded a full box cover image (front and back side of the box) for the movie E-body on 7/23. In case you didn't notice the back of the box is covered with sex acts. Same thing with another box cover on 7/25. (file name is mdyd-295.jpg if you don't believe me.) So you were aware of the policy yet you decided you were above it some way? Please go go away. There are plenty of other forums that you can go play at.

Everybody needs to read the rules. I didn't--because I can't read very well--but after my privileges were taken, I learned.
