flickr has changed policy - germans can turn off the safe-search

but still - i will stay here - i was getting somewhat tired about flickr - it seems, that restricted photos are still not visible

that sounds good, but was this here just a protest rally and we are going home now? don`t think so.

no, I'm staying @ home - here ;-)

It's not only about the filters but about everything else too.

I staying here for sure !!

Too late, not only because I have just deleted my censr AND my yahii-account. But that's not the reason why ... I agree with Carsten, it's not the filters alone ... and my home is here now, I like it very much.

dont forget when was a bug-hole there and for couple days any person can view the private photos...and censor our ads about sensorship over explore...naaaa....this is my home..and its better im sure....

bugs can happen, but the reaction there wasn't good at first as well

Congrats, but this place is better. As soon as they have groups, far much better.

I guess flickr admin got late that they're wrong...
Many people just came here and will never go back, specially because this is so much better :)

Anyway it's nice to see that they're trying to put things back where they should always been :)

They did not turn it off at all. Just changed a bit the definition of what we can see and what we can't see. Still a lot out there what we can't see in Germany

Not the big deal! They have just turned of the filter for moderated photos. I will never trust that Y!-company in future. My PRO-account ends in October. At the end of October I will become a PRO here at ipernity!

It was not a moment too soon!!! -- They shouldn't even have thought of it in the first place.

Shame about the users in Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore, though. I wonder -- do those members even realize they can't turn SafeSearch off?

It's good that they at least try to do something. But that's not the point. There was a lot of passion for flickr and that is gone now. I don't want to delete my account, because I have so many friends there, who are going to stay, but I'm really getting comfortable here and I like it and I think, I will slowely move...
So, next time something happenes, I can press that button at flickr.

i think this communication desaster of flickr showed pretty well: they really don't care about their (german) customers - the sex-appeal of flickr is gone and this damage cannot be repaired - if a company gets too big and becomes sort of a monopoly, there is always a great danger of turning towards this kind of behavior - the way they partially drew back and how they communicated this are sure indications of a disease, which i cannot happily live with

Be happy. Now you´ve found a place where social networking is sooooo easy like 1-2-3 ;-)

I really did not like they way Flickr staff is handling this whole mess, not to mention that not a single word is being mentioned about the other countries involved...

I'm not sure yet what I'll do; I certainly like it here, the social networking is way nicer (and easy as 1-2-3... oops!)

They don't care much about all customers... Yesterday Stewart in one his posts mentioned that people who don't like it there can look for another place, how nice that is...
