Goga: Before u complain about posts being deleted ALWAYS check if they still exists:
go to your own profile, and click "Find member's posts" on your own profile - chances are posts were moved to other/related topic.

Top reasons:
YOU HAVENT READ THE RULES <<CAREFULLY>>. we are realy picky
i want you to read picture posting rules/General Rules. i am not the only moderator and other moderators follow the rules, also i dont want Sub-par pics(nasty, average, regular) here- every 4th member does this to get their post count up to get access to special sections.
u should not use words like *censorship* in a forum like this.
i also cannot inform every single person on what they are doing wrong - if they dont bother with rules its a lot easier for me to delete the posts dont like/or ban them. its saves me time and does not clutter the forum with thousands of obvious statements 'more pics, nice girl, post more...'

its not because i am a tight ass and i dont want people to say thanks to the guy who posted it, u wanna thank them PM them. i dont like the board to be cluttered because it slows down everything.
>>>Your spelling does not match your age. Spellcheck.
---added----
this is what usually happens - u found some bullshit below average pics off some preview section and decided that thats the best shit we ever saw - wrong
all posts and i do mean all must follow Posting Rules
every picture must follow Picture Rules

DO not get careless u should always keep those guidelines in mind when formulating ANY responce or posting picture(s) its hard enough to sort everything i dont want to deal with rule breakers - it was there before u registered, and if u didnt read it its ur problem.
what do most people do? oh wow, lets hit next, next, then uid/pass lets post some crap and lets look at good stuff - i see it and i know who u are. u have had 10 (ten) posts for the 5 (five) months yet ur here every day looking up stuff, dont worry i will get to u eventually, maybe not today, but during weekend definitely. (oh right stupid me u can reregister with a diff account - yeah i thought of that also and took measures) oh wait - i disable registrations sometimes and delete all members with 0 (zero) posts. dont want to jump in the pile and participate well be on ur way - there are other forums, and they have more people to "thank" for good pics.



GOGA Added:


to general public:
Were not trying to be assholes, but noone wants too see a topic with 1 pic and tens or 'thank u's or many "nice pics" comments. we do try to sort crappy pics out so there should not be any 'bad pics' hence the 'nice pics comments are redundant and useless. if u got something constructive and kinky to add please do. but be creative. No point having a forum full of thank u's - if it was no one will go here and there will be no point of us wasting time.
if u are the person that's not reading the rules its ur own damn fault - this is not a fucking mall many sites similar to this went down and its very hard to just stay afloat. if u dont like the rules [which u SHOULD HAVE READ] then get lost, i don’t need thanking here. u want to thank them do it mentally or by adding something prettier/constructive.

to picture/link posters: - i know how much time it takes to find pics so i know the feeling. BUT if u though that we would be satisfied with below average content think again, only the best should be shown. even for amateurs.

to everyone else
if u don’t want to invest time to show the best u can find, dont participate at all. it would not bother us if you do not visit us. This is a community effort - and if u dont like the content you should not be here in the first place. I put so many warnings in before registration even my eye hurt. So by disrespecting the rules its offensive to us , you also disrespect the people that did invest their time to get u the best pics.

I agree in some part to what you are saying true you do not want people who just say thanks to get up to 10 posts so they can t get in to special areas thats not what i am about it's a pain in the ass.
But i have seen what you have said to people and to be honest with you i feel myself and do not take this personally but it does seem's a bit harsh. People take time to get to into a forum but just remember when you had 1post. All i am saying is give people a chance when they are new especially when they take the time to post pictures which might have taken them quite some time to post only for you to come along and delete it.
It's disheartning and makes me feel fuck it why sould i bother spending all this time to post things only for it to get erased
You just seem to be a bit of a hitler

each and every post must follow rules. no matter what. its done so GogaForum is alive not just my Taboo section.rules were there before you registered.


the nature of this(my section of the forum) requires me to be harsh. not only that - english is not my first language and i dont want to type it all the time, so my answers are short and people think thats harsh.
as for people's complaints - those arize because of disregarding the rules. now i know that noone reads the fine print, but they better - its one of the prerequizites of becoming a Forum Member. its not only done to protect the sites functionality but also done to protect other members.



once again, if post does not follow rules it will be dealt with. sometimes its not just the rules - its the quality of the picture. i wish you could send pics for approval - but i tried that before its was very time consuming to review the amount of pics. best way is if u have 100pics pick best 3. or something in that manner.

honestly to all complainers. This consists of your posts being deleted.

1. READ the rules.
2. if you dont read the rules and post something contrary to the rules or just something that makes no sense, a dead picture or something along those lines. Then its bound to get deleted.
3.READ the rules again.
thanks for your time.

P.S sorry about my leave of absence.... But im back.... internet crashes sometimes. ive been haveing some problems with our service provider. and i got real sick there for awhile. BUT... im back... who missed me .lol

P.P.S READ the rules again.

no its not a glitch, just some of ur comments are redundant so they got removed by moderators

all i see u post is something in this manner "thanks guys" "u got more guys?/keep em coming.." 'nice *****" u havent posted anything creative at all. all u do is want stuff
most of ur topics make no sense - just to get the post count up.

also i see u post in enlish to Russian forum - it says explicitly NOT to post there in english.

well if the stuff u posted does not violate rules and all the links are working (we check all the time, if not today then tomorrow - we will get to it eventually) then ur posts count will stay same. BTW total means TOTAL posts CURRNTLY existing in the forum. (present tense only) - and post get recounted

this is what happends most often - lets say person A posted a topic full of pics/links whatever
then you (person replied to the topic - like something useful and another person C replied and so on. then one day i check the posts - all the pics/links are not valid - so whole topic + replies are no longer valid because people cannot see what u replied to - so i just delete the whole topic, which means all posts in that topic are deleted and post count for all members that posted there is adjusted to reflect the deleted posts.
another example is orphan posts - means someone posted a reply to a topic they read
ex "those were some great stories/pictures/links .. where ...more of ...her?" now to me that does nto make any sence - i dont know what topic they are replying to. or someone started a duplicate topic without searching first. - always try to post in a topic that already exists/has same subject.

maybe noone realises but all of this rules, and deleting and cleaning up is what makes the forum good. if i would not clean it, the forum will ahve10,000 inactive members including 3 pics and 100,00 "thanks nice pics, can i see more of her" or "wow great story" or whatever useless and obvious comments. you would not believe how many of those i deleted, so be happy and helpful. [i.e. 'she has a nice ass' or any variations is a USELESS comment - because guess what the next reply will be 'yeah, i agree' then next one will be 'me too' or 'i second that' or whatever]

Its their server. the rules could be we have to submit a picture of us screwing a cow painted neon blue in Central Park, and it still wouldnt matter its there rules. We must merely do our best to live withthem or not. Way to often i see people complaining about this or that DAMMIT be happy there is a place like this to relax and swap stories and such.
Shlohloh

To all you people that complain.... If you dont like it here.... LEAVE, simple, go somewhere else. Otherwise, shut up and enjoy our place, follow the rules and smile about it.

P

oh wow i hope i would never have to add here, but people not as bright .


so here are more clarifications, and more constraints since u could not deal with other ones.

>>
i dont advize you to rely on what other people are doing - we will get to them and warn them or clean up their mistakes. make sure ur posts are not empty fillers just to get to special sections - not the first day,

so what u saying to me "hey i put some words in the forum, and that should be enough for you, so i am gonna go look at ls pics" - not fair man, put up something useful (that dont violate pic rules) DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PHOTOS AT ALL then we go from there. otherwise otehrs posts pics and u dont... kinda unfair to everyone else.
once again, dont put other posters as an example, chances are that they have been overlooked by moderators so no point saying to me "hey he thanking + "wow good pics" "hey can u post more?" all the time why cant I" its better that u ask as many questions before u even begin to post anything rather then complain later that ur posts got removed.

>>
=if you post has nothing to do with topic it will be deleted [NEW ]
=1 link per post (lets not forget this one)
=if your post has broken images (not showing) 404/not forund 403/access denied
=if u plagiarised a story or experience from other places (i can also copy and paste) - if u cant come up with anything creative, leave the "post" button alone.

its the thread mainly contains pictures and ur post does not (will depend of cituation) but to be fair with those that actually posted.

if you only have 10 posts and the counter stays at 10 posts even though u visit regularly i am human and i just dont have time, but i get to every single post, and if ur account turns out to have 10 bullshit posts in 1 day u will be banned. i will say it over and over again - u dont like the rules, forget this place exists, thre are other forums which are free, no need to pollute mein.

again people complainig.. calling me names (good one Stubby) maybe i was not clear - Dont like my rules dont be here !

and since i do lots of moderating here i should be persoanlly insulted.. dont worry i am not. see people think running a forum like this is easy - its not. because most people are inconsiderate of others so all they post is thir bullshit 10 posts. u want to see what poorly-managed forums look like? pick any related photo forum and look at replies. Yep. takes a shit load of effort to clean up after people who dont f0king read - well F0K u too.

here is my responce:
u call me a twat - i ignore it
u cant read and then follow the rules - then u are REALLY in wrong place... dont let the door hit u on ur way out >> [go play on yahoo]
talk shit behind my back - U ungreateful peice of shit ! we slaved years to make the forum survive all the bullshit, ISP rules, bans and crap and here u complain cause i wont allow stuff thats clearly against MY rules??? well fuck you and i hope u get gas gangrene and a whif of Phosgene®. i will always hate cunts who dont pay yet they complain to everyone but the person providing them a lot of leeway (oh yeah) u got a problem - then tell Moderators/Me/Goga/ we can fix it... if we cant fix it then request account removal.


yeah i got spelling errors because english not my first language and i was drinking an thinking how to avoid people that ignore simple directions.

P.S. i dont hate most posts i delete.. maybe u should actually read the whole thread first... maybe someone already said what u are about to say.. no point having 20 people telling the same thing or a variation or it.. its not much to ask...

It is actually a very simple matter to keep your posts on site ....

READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW THE RULES

If, after just a 3 weeks of moderating, I'm getting a bit tired of telling people to follow the rules......just imagine how goga and pavel feel about doing it for years! And yet I'll keep saying it because it is so important! There is a very good reason the rules exist. They are what make this forum different, and keep it in demand. The forum is only as good as its members and the content they provide. If we waited for pavel and goga to do everything, this would probably be another pay site competing for market share. By requiring the members to be active contributors of content we're looking for MIND SHARE......of our members! Use your brain, it's the most erotic organ you have!



There are shining examples of a members who made ten posts all within the rules, in a reasonable time frame, and contributed GREAT material ! you see, it can be done!

if the preview does not work, if movie links do not work or post is posted in wrong section or violates any of the rules they would be deleted.

If your photos do not display the post will be deleted.

Hotlink Checker USE IT !!! http://altlab.com/hotlinkchecker.php
ALWAYS use hotlink checker to see if the image is allowed to be hotlinked

is posting about blood a bad thing on this forum? i made a good topic about it earlier today in the fetish section... asking about if they liked tasting blood, but now i come back at night and its not there anymore!!! and i got no PM or anything saying what happened to it so i am just wondering why that would be taken away, it was a pretty long post asking people and saying how i felt

hmm that would fall under a category or 'dark fetishes' as in not upbeat or happy. this post was actually discussed by me and pavel before we desided to remove it. we never ever notify people if we delete their posts as it would be a nightmare for us.
so yes, we feel that posting about blood is not a good thing i do understand the time it takes to write and i do apologize, but we want to keep this a bit above the cutting and bood play. yes there are posts about needles but they are too artsy to be considered blood play. as time progresses this might change but for now we keep this lolipop land without blood or violence

recently there has been an influx of GirlsGoneWild types of photos - i know its a HUGE market and they guy is millionare but photos have no spark in them. so girls acting goofy is cute and all but please dont post a thousand of them... at least pick 5 cutest ones and no need for the rest... no need to dump whole galleries of them.

i think if those pics as something that takes no effort to find and we'd rather concentrate of something more creative. once again those photos make this forum not worth anything but a clone of GirlsGoneWild i dont want this let the pros handle that type of content because just oo much of it elsewhere.

I know it may sound stupid, but I believe a majority of people never read the rules when they join a forum. I myself was guilty of that when I came here first, I posted stuff in the wrong place and I was also guilty of one sentence replies. A lot of forums have no rules about "nice pics" or "she's hot" etc, and I'm guessing a lot of people think this forum is the same.
I can understand people getting pissed off when stuff gets deleted but if you live within the rules it won't happen for the most part.
As for people who don't post, a small number of people seem to post most of the images, sets, etc, and its kind of annoying when you go looking for stuff people might like, and the favour doesn't get returned.

by the way before anyone gets pissed off today, i am going through all the photobucket posts and removing this kind of stuff ( Photobucked removed ur shit)

Ex.

i dont want to see the weird red warning so the weirdnes will be removed. and if the topic only contains these red warnigs it will be removed

i cannot believe (well i can) how many posts had missing photos... ! over 140 already and maybe 20~ topics or so,

this is why we have rules so this forum does not end up like all others
Shit like this below is not wanted or welcommed here.

i finally have some time ....

starting today and probably going into next few days i will be performing long overdue site maintenance and link checking. it will be a huge task to check links, so i will go through the imageshack ones first (since they banned us and archives without previews are deleted)

what i will be looking for:
- archives with no previews
- galleries with over 30% of photos that do not display
- expired archive links.


since this will be done by hand it will take a while and even thought today you have lots of posts i will go through most of them and check if the links are still valid. please dont be pissed, i put in the rules NOT to use imageshack.

Goga, should I mark images on Imagevenue as safe for work? Or as not safe for work? What is a better choice in your opinion? Which option will significantly decrease chances of pics being deleted?

I guess safe for work is a better option?

Safe for work or not safe for work is not involved with our decisions to remove a post. If a pic follows our rules we generally don't delete it. I mark all uploaded pics not safe for work as most employers frown on visiting sites like ours on their systems and their time.

No sense of humor, those employers.

You are better off marking all images as "Not safe for work" no matter what the content. From what I have heard Imagevenue view all those as porn and don't take as much of an interest in them, the ones marked "Safe for work" are much more likely to be carefully checked and deleted.

well dependign on content - if it has nudity/fetish you definitely mark as NON-safe
