New Tagging Of Pics feature !!!
Sex God
:shock: :shock: what?
If you look on peoples profiles, then look at the pics, on some of the pics that I have perved so far, you are able to tag the pics - it says "please help tag this photo" and then you have a couple of drop down boxes, one which is photo quality, on a scale of 1-10 and another drop down box with "who is in this photo" where you can say if it is male, female, couple, threesome etc.
You then have a series of tickboxes, with a number of descriptions, BBW, lesbian, gay, interracial, toys, anal, close up, creampie and a few others.
To be honest, I don't like this, especially the tickboxes, there are some people who are against labels, and it allows others to maybe tick boxes that are not applicable, in an effort to try and be spiteful, funny, mischievous etc.

My photos have now (yet again!!!!!!!) been moved into my private gallery. When will Admin learn to *let the membership know* that they are going to give people options like this.
If I wanted people to rate me out of ten I'd go to a site that's designed for that purpose, like "hot or not"

On further investigation I've just removed all of my photos from my public album. No offense but I've no desire to have other people rate my pics on a 1-10 scale for "quality" or to decide which category they should be in.

The idea behind the system is so you can browse the photos that you want to.
The 1-10 scale isn't a rating, it's the quality of the image not the content. The data will be used to display the clearer better quality of images first, with the blurry ones at the back of the search query after we get the new search implemented.
The categories that the images are tagged into will be used to filter the images that you want to see e.g. if you are a couple looking for another couple, living 30 miles away, and not wanting to see cock shots, the new search will be able to meet that criteria. Currently the gallery has nil functionality or use for any thing other than looking at pictures, Russian Roulette style.
Currently there are nearly half a million photos that need to be categorised before any new relevant search can be implemented. We are actively encouraging users to tag their own photos that are uploaded and there will be an announcement on your homepage in the next few days.
Swinging Heaven is looking for ways to make all areas of the site more relevant and usable for the members. Our goal is continual improvement and listening to our member feedback. In the recent site surveys, a relevant image search was one of the top three points that our member base was asking for. As you are aware there are a large number of site improvements being worked on at the moment that will be rolled out over the next 18 months.

yet another disgruntled user hence all our pics are now private on both our profiles..
and on looking at the tick box options there doesn't seem to be one for bi-sexual so there for if 2 women are in the photo they are lesbians, hows that going to help a cpl searching for a bi sexual women using the photo's...

Do you seriously believe that people will rate photos on their quality? I doubt it.
Also, what about the fact that I've now moved my pictures into the private gallery, but a link that was sent to me earlier (of one of my pictures) still takes you to that picture? Do I now have to delete every one of my photos again because Admin have brought in a feature without any kind of consultation or thought for people's privacy?

Here's a radical idea. Why not get people to rate/tag/whatever their own photos before giving the general site population the opportunity to give them marks out of ten?

Moved phots yet again, but left my boobies 
it will be interesting to see how they get rated and if the system is open to abuse.
Ie they get rated as male, bi, and a group!!
Question:- can I get / how do I get to see what my photos have been rated as?
Edit:- how once a photo has been rated by others, if I don't agree with the rating catogries, apart from deleting it, can I change the ratings?
Edit2:- I have just been able to rate the same picture twice, but with different comments,how will / does this work, if everyone keeps rating the same photos over and over again.?

I'm not keen on the idea of rating peoples' picture quality. Someone may think 5mp is good, but the next person may think that's rubbish. Some people can't afford 15mp cameras and use 5mp, for example. Yeah some pics aren't all that good - quality-wise - but I don't think it's a good idea putting these ppl's profiles, in essense, to the back of the pile.....just cos they can't afford a top of the range camera.

After reading this I can GUARANTEE this is in no way shape or form a ratings system.
At the moment feedback indicated that people do not want to click through 3000, pages of pictures in the public gallery. The image quality option is that, it is no way a public or displayed rating option. Many women indicated they did not want to sift through 1000s of cock shots.
We want to make all the features on this site as useable and relevant for everyone as possible. After each image/video has been tagged 10 times the option will disapear.
When the new search is released you will find it very very useful. We have a private image gallery for anyone who wants to keep pictures private and out of the public gallery. I dont know if you remember but we were one of the first to do this and seems everyone copied us also like the site watermarking and video chat.
We are only interested in giving the members on this site the best features possible.... please understand that. Every change we make has been asked for by the members here.

Couldn't agree with you more Angel. The number of times I've ranted about this precise issue and still nothing changes.

… and this is precisely what upsets me too. Was I told about this? Was I asked whether I thought it was a good idea. Do I have an opt out option? So now I'm on X-Factor am I? With people giving me marks out of 10?

The reason we take up to ten tag opinions on each one is to make sure its accurate giving us an "average opinion" to display the results with.
Of course everyone that uploads any picture on here thinks they are david baily :shock:.
Does no one think it will be useful???

I'm not particularily bothered about the whole thing, but it seems to me the admins should have anticipated such innovation, giving an announcement of some sort... or even polling for the opinion of the members.
as it is, the plan, however good the intentions, seems to have backfired (also severely hampering my chances to perve :taz: )
may I suggest that you give the members the chance to chose (a simple flag-unflag system should do) whether to let people rate their pics or not?

Still not sure this has been done in the proper way. Image quality is too subjective, what seems ok for one person may be considered dreadful for someone else.
Also what's the logic in getting other people to rate your pictures and decide which categories apply? I don't expect other people to choose my likes and dislikes. Surely this should be an option when uploading pictures allowing the owner of the photos, to think about the appropriate categories?

Does that mean just youself sees it?
Oh I wasn't aware of that
When u upload new pictures, u have the option of having it public on your profile, but not in the public gallery where it can be rated?
I do understand that the admin team are trying to help us all out from the feedback from members. They have put the option of multi-cam which I do like
I'm willing to see how it goes :-)Miss Cream xxx

I don't think that is the issue.
This was 'sneaked' in, the members were not asked for help in making this feature work, there has been no thought to the feelings of the members, and the company that owns this site clearly feels they found an easy, cost effective way in getting this to be a fully usable feature, with nothing more than the promise of a better search facility on offer.
Surely if a better search facility is the goal, shouldn't this have been readied before implementation, rather than assume we will be the testers and developers for you?
As for the quality of pics, you make a sneering generalisation that "everyone thinks they are David Bailey" but not every pic is taken or viewed in an artistic fashion, some are purely for 'advertising' purposes.

This is at the heart of the issue really. Talk to us tell us what to expect and why? As I've said many many times before, information is key. Tell people what's going on and not only does it give people warning but it also allows people to opt out if they so wish, and prevents any potential backlash.
Nobody likes to be dictated to.

I cant help with any rating options as there are not any!
We need 500,000 pictures tagged to use in the new search feature. It takes about 20 seconds to do each one so in terms of time that would take someone 79 working weeks to do assuming they never stopped to do anything else :roll: .
You could say at the moment if you wanted to spend just 2 seconds looking at each picture in the gallery to see if you liked it that currently would take you two monts assuming you were on here doing it 35 hours a week.
So it was absolutely no surprise that we had thousands of people asking for this when we ran the recent surveys.
