Chat Room Private Photo Etiquette
| ok, I have fully integrated two features required validations to request access to privates required validations to send you mail Enjoy |
| Just a little update on a few member improvements. If you click on Settings on your member's menu bar. You will notice a few new options. Mail Box Settings: Archived Mail - Some members had requested to only see a limited number of messages in their archived mail. Now you can select the number of months you wish to keep messages archived for. This doesn't delete anything, it only hides what you don't want to see. There are separate controls for the inbox and outbox. Also I have updated the inbox and outbox so that the members master photo border color will let you know what type of couple they are ( hard, soft, girls gone wild, vanilla ). There are also some other settings you will notice that many of you will be excited about ( validation specific settings ). Feel free to set your values to whatever you want them to be. But I don't have these integrated yet, so don't expect any changes when you adjust your settings yet. Also the system is setup to only allow you to require a number of validations if you also have this. This means if you have no validations, you can't require validations from others. Feel free to share you thoughts. |
Apr 1, 2009 4:30 PM Ditto, We have been doing the same.. dont want to block in case we do meet later, but not interested in showing anything to people we havent met or at least seen IRL. BTW Daisy... it's your fault they keep requesting to see your sexy bod.We don't allow anyone we haven't met to see our private photos. Although we don't like to just block anyone because we don't know them or don't want them to see our private photos, we just delete the request which should make it obvious that we denied it. However, some people on this site have a hard time taking hints. If you request to see our photos, and everytime you click on our profile you see that the option to request private photos is there, then that means we denied it by deleting it. Some folks just get request happy and keep on clicking away. If you have to request to view private photos everytime you visit someone's profile, that ought to tell you that they have been deleting it everytime. Eventually at some point you have to get the hint. |
| HAHA! that is great some people find fame in great speeches, getting caught being naughty, and maybe you will find your self quoted in the Life Style Rule Book |
| Awesome feedback. Our perspective is a bit more conservative when it comes to private pics, in that we don't even approve everybody that we do know...not to sound like snobs, but we have come to know a lot of people, but we don't KNOW them all and truth is, most don't care to see all our pics anyway. If they send a request, we approve it for a while and then delete down the line. We find it hard to manage a list of photo requests and keep an eye on new people who we are trying to establish a friendship, so we actually go through and do a list clean up on a regular basis. If we haven't looked at ya'll or ya'll haven't looked at us in a while, or if you haven't been on-line in several months, we delete. It's not personal, just makes it easier on us to manage. As already mentioned, the site is getting a little more public then we are comfortable with but we enjoy DP, so we try to really keep an eye on who can see what from us. Just sharing. :) |
| I will be upgrading the profiles so you can require a certain number of validations for people to request access to your privates. This should help prevent the unwanted requests, and force more people to get validated. |
| aww man... I am so guilty. Sorry... It was good to hear others views on this and give me a differnt perspective... Here I am thinking I just will be friends with the people or photo request them to sort of get a large view point in my curious search to finding out my own wants and desires. Since I am just a baby at this and got a toe in.... forgive me trying to learn the rules of this and discovery of what I want and don't want taking it slow... Maybe I ought to start reading all the forum posts so I don't look ignorant! Thanks!! |
| Ditto, ditto, ditto, to what AggieCpl12 said. Just a reminder that you can do into your "settings" and set your limit on how many public and private pics a profile must have before they can request to see your privates. It may not solve all of the request problems but I am sure that it will solve some. |
| Eventually I am going to add a feature to the profiles so you can only allow other couples who have privates to request to see your privates. Hopefully this will stop the unsolicited requests |
Couldn't agree with you more RandR. |
| In the near future I might add on some advanced controls that will help members better specify their private photo sharing requirements. I just revamped the Event page last night. Slowly I will make my way around to other parts of the site as well |
| Just a side note to this conversation. We have been blocking several I.P.'s who continue to try and submit fake profiles. Plus we have also deleted several fake profiles that slipped through the cracks as well. So if you find a profile or two that you feel may be fake just let us know. We realize that not everyone can attend the parties which does not mean you have a fake profile. But when you submit screen shots from movies it becomes pretty obvious. |
| Funny how this was mentioned and a couple days later we get the ol' request, DELETE, request, DELETE... LOL So, here's our new rule. If we delete the request and another request gets posted....BLOCK! LD |
| We totally agree with you...wish there was a way that only couples could view other couples pix. |
| I agree 100% with how you are handling your private photo requests. I have brain stormed many features that would help automate such requests. Taking into account each members personal rules for what requests they will accept. I agree that if you are wanting to request to view someone else's private photos make sure you have some as well, and you have granted them access to yours. If people continue to ask to see your photos and you keep having to say no, you can always block their requests. |
