I had a photo blocked by admin recently. It was part of an “amateur” shoot I did last year, totally non explicit. The pic in question was actually a B&W of a pair of rather beautiful shoes and lower legs. It even had a low depth of focus applied and everything.

I understand that pictures “must have the profile owner in them”, but this is impossible to police, especially given that most people have on their profiles a host of pics of various parts of their anatomy, and often pics of others, without any identifying features being visible.

How do admin police this?

If it had a cock, it just be the man who owned the profile?

If it has boobs or mist be the woman who owns her profile?

Seems arbitrary and a little ridiculous to me.

Anyone else have this issue?

No issue for me, only me in my photos.

Don't like seeing anyone but the person who's profile it is, even if they've got permission. I'm interested in them not who they've met.

If it looks like it’s been lifted off the internet they do block.

I've never had a picture refused yet. But then every picture I've put up is me.

If those legs in the picture were not yours then yes they have every right to refuse it. You're a single male profile. It doesn't matter how good you think the picture is. And did you have permission from the person in the pic to put it up?

I've had good friends whose pictures of them have been used on here without permission and it's horrible for them. So I am all for pictures that are of someone else not being allowed on here. Some sneak through but I hope a lot more don't. That's probably not what you want to hear tho.

Of course I had permission from her. And the pic was of a foot/shoe.

I was curious about people’s experiences and more curious about how this is ever policed - the point being it is near IMPOSSIBLE for admin to verify that any pic that doesn’t have a face is actually of the profile owner?

Q: how could they possibly know what has been lifted off the internet and what hasn’t?

I can just hear it: “You’re a single male on fab and couldn’t possibly have taken that pic”. Lol

Isn't the point of pics on a profile to see what the person looks like ? Not to admire a random person's legs and shoes.

Admin do the best they can.

However, if you are not in the picture, it does not meet the pic rules. I should have thought that that was fairly straightforward.

You're right, it is impossible to confirm 100% every pic belongs to the poster. From your description, I'd guess they can be sure it's not you in this pic, so they can safely take it down.

Who says that? Is that a rule? I’ve seen a few profiles on here exhibiting their photographic prowess and seemingly have got teens way with it. I have plenty of pics of me on my profile.

Amateur photography is a hobby of mine and I wanted to show the pic to someone who was asking about it. I pay £5 To support the site and as long as I’m not being immoral , I believe I should be able to post whether pic I like.

The rule is very clear, hence citing it in my post. I was asking if anyone else has any experiences and how people police it. It’s ok if I challenge this, surely?

You could send it to them in a message as a direct private photo

If the legs are of a woman, I'm not sure you have a basis for a challenge!

I have to agree. If you're not in the picture then admin don't approve it. Pretty standard on fab

You're asking why a photo of a woman, a woman who isnt part of your single male profile, a photo that you're not in, has been rejected. Have I understood that correctly?

Evidently you’ve misunderstood too. For the avoidance of doubt, the questions I asked were:

If it had a cock, it just be the man who owned the profile?

If it has boobs or must be the woman who owns her profile?

If the legs you are talking about clearly belonged to a woman when you are a man then this case seems pretty easy to police.

Why are you keen to show legs that aren't yours in a gallery that's supposed to be about you? It seems like a perfectly sensible rule to me to say you have to be in your own gallery photos. Otherwise you can get all sorts of irrelevant stuff filling them up. Who wants to see a gallery full of things a member found interesting when they visited the Dracula museum in Whitby?

Hey you - I did that thanks, and they sent me a generic reply, stating they can’t respond directly to all messages. Hence why I thought it would be a good idea to take in the views and experiences of the forum. Evidently my questions weren’t clear enough though , since for the most part people have assumed I didn’t understand the reason for the pic being rejected , rather than trying to develop a discussion about the matter in general

There and to the left a bit

The idea of a profile is to show off the owner of that profile not someone that clearly isn't them - hence the rule that only pics containing the profile owner are allowed - otherwise you'd have profiles filled with all sorts.

The reasons for this probably include not taking up server space with random junk and turning the site even more into Facebook and more importantly minimising the ability to deceive others.

As for how it's policed, of course admin and the pic mods will have to use an element of trust that a pic of a cock or boobs is indeed a pic of the profile owners cock or boobs although with reverse imaging tools at their disposal I would guess these get employed to check out any suspected of not being of the owner.

When it comes to a pic of a woman's feet on a single male profile though it's fairly clear cut.

Of course with the thousands of pics that must be submitted daily it's inevitable that some slip through the net which is where the site rely on us the users to report any that we suspect may not meet pic rules.

No I haven't had your experience, yes it is difficult to police, but if a picture is obviously not of you, then it will be taken down.

I think you're missing the point of being able to have photos on your profile. Surely its to show who someone would be meeting not that you're great at photography & taking photos of others.

There’s also nothing in your profile that says your a photographer so people would see and find it odd. Maybe type a paragraph about it if that’s what your looking for here . And send the nice shoes photos directly to people that are interested

You agree to the terms and conditions when you join the site so shut up and quit whining, it's not at all attractive. If you dont like it find another site. This should be a happy positive place to discuss enjoyment of all things sex and swinging!

To wind this back down a tad (your posts have enraged T!) Yes, we've had experience.

We've posted pics of our toys and playroom, which have been removed. Mods can't accurately police every pic uploaded. I'd guess they can't photo match pics on profiles to make sure they're all the same person either. Posting a pic that obviously isn't you (females legs and shoes on a male profile) is low hanging fruit for anyone who checks the pics. Just as our playroom pics were. The rules are the rules, and we do t agree with all of them. But. We did sign up to the site, with the T&C's and have to abide by them.

I'm sure lots of other people will have similar views.

I see.....

It's policed by photo moderators who look at every single photo posted, hence some are rejected.

Some mistakes are made, photo moderators are human.

In your instance, a photo of a woman, a woman who isnt part of your single male profile, a photo that you're not in, has been rejected.

You'd need to have a couples profile with her Maj for that to be accepted by Fab.

I think you've wholly missed the point of photographs on a profile.

They're to show the profile holder and the profile holder(s) only.

I've had a pic rejected simply because I used a small statue to cover my genitals. I have to assume this was the reason as I got no feedback from admin but I posted exactly the same pic from a slightly different angle and it was accepted.

At the same time I see public pics on profiles every single day of landscapes or toys or even just pics of quotations none of which have anyone in them at all.

I have seen profiles using funny pics they have taken off Facebook or other social media sites and none of those have the profile owner in them either.

I've also seen numerous non sexual pics taken in public places that clearly show the faces of passersby or people sitting at the next table in whatever bar they were taken but yet they are passed without question.

There is no issue, it is just the pic rules. You have to be in any pic you upload

https://www.fabswingers.com/articles/photo-rules

Others in your photo OK so long as faces are obscured and you have permission. You can have other people in your photos too (to clarify, you must also be in the photo) so long as you have their permission to upload to your account on here AND their faces are obscured (face pixellated or blacked out; just blacking out the eyes is NOT ok).
