I posted a couple of pictures of a dildo on photobucket for use in a review and in less than a day, one of the photos had been deleted. It was replaced with a red and white image saying that the pic had been deleted, but not really giving a reason why. (I deleted the red and white image and uploaded the dildo pic again, and I can't remember what the red and white text said exactly.)

I've gone back and made my albums "private". I hope that fixes the problem. But since I'm not really sure why the picture was deleted in the first place, I won't know if it does until another picture gets deleted.

Did EF ever create a place of their own for hosting pictures to be used in reviews? That would be EXTREMELY useful. less

I have pics on Flickr, too. I've never had a problem (knock on wood, now) I also thought I had to set it to allow anyone to view in order to share on Eden.

Would I be able to keep my photos private? Or would that create attention from the Flickr staff? My guess is they are LESS likely to look at open files than "restricted" or "private" ones, since they might think you have something to hide.

But, I never label my pics as to what they are but still, vibrators and dildos are....obvious less

The issue I had to start with is that I figured I didn't have to make my photos "private". I figured I wasn't advertising them or adding "friends" or even giving them titles or descriptions for people to search. But someone "found" them anyway and reported it. My understanding was that it was a mere surfer and not actually anyone working for Flickr. So I just made everything private and it hasn't happened since.

Unfortunately, making everything private caused all of my old picture links in my reviews to be disabled so I had to go back and have Eden staff fix ALL of them. Ugh! Good thing he was wonderfully patient with me! less

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't EF now have at least limited ability to do this? As I understand it, you can upload photos to at least some product pages (check out this thread for more info), but not all of them. If a page has that feature, you should be able to see it under the "View and share related images" section near the bottom of the page, and you can upload it by clicking on "Upload your picture". Once uploaded, you should be able to link to it in your review.

Would that be a correct take on things? less

Thank you, Kindred and Vac. I may be doing this instead. (Using Eden for my photos.)

I spoke too soon. I recently got a note on my Flickr account that someone complained that my images should be "restricted" and that I had to change my settings. Also, several of my images disappeared from one of my reviews, although they are still available on Flicker. I had to change my settings and ask for a "re-review" of my account. What the fuck?

Do uptight jerks just hang around on Flickr looking for things to get "offended" about? I don't label my stuff, nor do I have any friends on Flickr. (A couple of guys are following me, but I haven't responded and I just changed my stetting to private.)

I may have to look for a more open site. I'm pissed, I really am. less
