erm... how do i say this...
Billy, Billy, Billy... for my last gaff i placed myself in the corner... the corner is now vacant!
but remember all your comments are welcome, thank you for not sitting on the sideline!
It's gone again....who stole it??? I've still got 34 more pages to get through! mad
Well it is back
I was just checking through the single female to make sure that there are none of me, and it would seem some of the females have grown male parts!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it needs a little tweek or maybe thse pics if loaded direct from the photo ads are the ones that are in the wrong section.......just a thought...
IMO it is pictures collectors pardise, Several full faced photos not blurred, maybe some people are not worried by this, others may be.
By placing a photo on the site have we given our automatic permission for it to be used in this manner??
I know what your saying Steph but come on we did put them on the site so its not as if we didn't want anyone to see them.
I think its a little bit of fun in the right context,and some people want to shift through hundreds of pics PM'ing everyone they fancy well thats their lookout we can always hit the delete button.
HERE HERE STEPH, You have took the words right out of my mouth!!

Sorry hunny but that is NOT the point. The issue here is about choice. We complain like fuck about Pic Collectors abusing trust by stealing and using our pics - I personally feel by using the pics WITHOUT asking us how we feel about it is the SAME thing.
I do feel as tho my trust has been abused by Admin as I uploaded my pics to use in my public profile/private Gallery and for no other area of the site.
I wont display a pic in a Gallery which contains hard core pornography openly.
Personal view of the Gallery - a PIMPING paradise.

Steph hun xx Hello my :love:
Look at the bottom of the page at the small black print = it says >>>>>

"all postings are the property of thier posters"

surely this means the pics as well.
If that is the case then Admin must ask permission to use youre pics on the Gallery.

Sorry I tend to overlook just how far some people will go and didn't really think of people "stealing" pics to pass off as their own.
On the plus will it stop pic collectors trying to pass themselfs off as couples ect. in order to get pics sent to them? only a thought
ok as a newbi cpl, just about to get some photos done of us and put onto sh. we are little bit unsure about showing our face's to everyone. Whats the best way to keep face pics out of the Gallery. ????
Thanks S

I am actually disgusted that our photos have been put into the gallery without our permission being sought first. I have since made all my photos private however, Mr NWC has more patience than me, and he has found at least three of my pics in the gallery.
Its not that I mind people seeing them, I would not have put them on if I did, but it is the fact it was done behind our backs without asking for our consent to 'display' our photos. Just how many people would have put full face pics on if they knew they were going to be displayed for everyone in a flamming cattle parade aka the gallery?
I cant explain just how upset I feel about my pics being used without my consent. I really dont know if I feel safe with anything on here now if things like that are being done behind our backs. I have not had a go at the new admin, had much to say about the changes, up to now that is, but I now feel that this latest move was a very underhanded thing to do by the Admin.
Will the othe personal details I have provided, like my email address, will those be safe or will they appear in some form of gallery or other?
confused :?:
If my memory serves me well did not the ADMIN say that ALL pics would have the nic of the person overprinted on the photo to stop others stealing them.
The search button, in this case, is defo not my friend. I am not searching all that lot when Admin Memory is quicker >???
NWC + to answer this >>>>

possibly "yes" as people have paid.

If you don't want your pics to appear in the gallery simply uncheck the public box in your photo management panel.
This is no different to having pics on an advert, or on your profile, non-members can still view ads, and free members can still view profiles.
With regards to cock shots and the like in the gallery, there is not much we can do about this, as the gallery is based on the account type, if someone signus up as a female and uploads a picture of a cock, thats just the way it is - feel free to submit an abuse report and we will look into it. A photo is uploaded every second on the site. we don't have the resources to classify each photo as male, female etc etc.
Our stance on data protection still stands, as said above, this is no different to having the photos on your profile and/or ads...we will NOT be showing any other information on the gallery at all (ie email address's), and never will display them on the site.
Its alright for Eliott to simply say, if you want your pics to be private, and NOT appear in the Gallery to make them Private and NOT for Public access
Errrmmmm, should we ALL have had a PM saying this BEFORE the Gallery was created, then WE as the SH community could have made an informed choice as to whether we wanted our Photos displayed to everyone ?
Come on Admin, where's your common courtesy ?

Before we took the site over, ALL PICTURES, were available to ANYONE and EVERYONE who wanted to see them. We have removed the adult pictures from general public view. We have also watermarked pictures to stop them being passed of on other sites or stolen and used elsewhere. Furthermore you can now select for your pictures to be PRIVATE so no one who you did not want to see them can see them.
So in short we have removed the Adult pictures from prying eyes, we have given everyone on the site the chance to not have any of there pictures on public display, and they can simply keep there entire gallery private and send invitations out. The gallery function was requested time and time again by members of this site as a feature that they wanted to see (same as the private gallery) . Most of the feedback indicated that people wanted to look at potential matches then see who the profile or ad belonged to, this meant they spent less time trawling through endless ads to find out that they were not physically attracted to people. The other thing to add here is that unless you are an existing premium member it only displays non adult pictures anyway.
In short its very simple, it is optional to have any pictures at all displayed in here. You simply add your pictures to the Private Gallery and they will not be displayed!.
We have had well over 50 requests asking for this feature to be added by Photo Ads users as they see it as a way to find other people who they are attracted to or get better results from their own adds. People upload pictures on this site as they want other people to see them, if they did not they would either have them in their private gallery or not upload them at all.
I am afraid that on this site some people want some things and different people want other things. The thing is we have added lots of new features to aid security and privacy, lots of new functionality. It is really as simple as this the choice to have your pictures in there is yours, so those who do not want to use it will not those who want to use it will.
Just a quick question for you Martin_M
in the options where we can see our pictures there is 3 things you can select...
Is public, is private, is profile
Can another option be added to ask if they should be displayed in the gallery or not, that way it makes it the members choice if just for profile or not ??
Just an idea thats all, me personally don't mind my pics in the the gallery but out of respect to the others that don't want them being there maybe that could be considered ???

Martin I have kust looked at a lot of pics in the Gallery an notice that on MOST the old Swinging Heaven water mark is still being used across the very top of the pics.
These pictures can easily be copied, trimmed at the top to take away the watermark, and be "stolen and used elsewere" (your words).
Can you explain why the watermark across the centre of the picture is not being used on all pics??

Think it's only photos that have been uploaded since the site change that show the new watermark feature. We re-loaded ours to get that sprawled all over them. The existing photos were probably copied across from the old server and couldn't be changed dunno

If I can crop a pic and put my nic on any pic using Paint Shop Pro and Roxio I am bloody sure admin along with their paid staff can do it.
It's not quite brain surgery is it. ??

Even better idea Martin_M. I know that personally I have some photos I wouldnt mind being in the gallery but others I would rather leave on my own gallery, or make them private. Not being a techy, I dont know how hard it would be, but if it could be done, then it would make life so much easier!
