candid girls / Discussions

Flickr didn't like us posting pics of nice women, that's why I was wiped.....I guess...was katieman!!

Flickr went through the members on August 19th and deleted about 40 of us in the matter of a few hours. As we re-joined, some of us got deleted again. I paid another $25 for my second pro account and re-uploaded all my pics as private so no one could see them unless I made them a friend. I had no tags either or provacotive titles, trying to play by the rules this time. Kepp in mind, none of my pics has any nudlity. Not so much as a nipple, just candids-girls on the street or beach. I was deleted within about 12 hours of them taking my money. That next day they took down the whole group.

Same thing happened to me, i lost two 'Pro' accounts, first one i had hundreds of fotos on a good mix was ok for about 3 months then with no warning got deleted after the 2nd time they basically told me to go find another site! They certainly don't like candid or some members don't like them lol!
I still have a basic account but mainly just to keep in contact with a few people

If you take time to read the discussions between flickr mods and those who try to reason or even argue with them, it won't take time for you to realize feminists infiltrated flckr influence.
You have a committe of rules makers in the committe of they and you have flickr mods. The feminists run the decision making and nobody is going to buck them and risk being ousted from the "community".

Time to get over it and move on.

However, I predict that if many of you plan to post your photos and make everyone under the sun your contact so that you can have a large audience, you will eventually bring the same situation here.

That's certainly a possibility, but remember it's French and German "community standards" we're dealing with here, not US ones. The mindset of the rest of the civilized world is not always the same as the US. For example, I once openly photographed a Russian woman walking down the beach in thong and she did not take offense at all or even bother brining it up when I spoke to her. Another big difference is swimwear. In the US, it's 99% baggy shorts for guys and probably 90% of the women have wear full bottoms of some sort. On the beaches outside of south Florida. it's about 0.1% thongs. Elsewhere, that's obviously not the case. Unfortunately, trends that start in the US tend to spread elsewhere -- our screwed up method of banking is but one recent example.

The problem with flickr is that it goes to great extremes to appease both the feminist nut-jobs by deleting anyone who posts unauthorized "sexy" photos. The other way in which flickr goes to extremes is with it's expectation of safety flagging. By that, I mean the expectation that "safe" = "G rated", but most everything else is "restricted". Don't even bother with the "moderate" flag, since it is narrow and ill-defined and may or may not permit boobs and thongs, depending upon who you ask. Thus, when the flagging rules are followed, the viewer and/or poster, in effect, has only two alternatives: G-rated stuff if they choose "safe" or hardcore porn if they choose "restricted".
