Hi there,

my last journal entry was about the 45 000 visits my photostream on flickr had. This one is about how my stream there got marked restricted for at least 30 days and therefore not visible for users outside of flickr....

I must have uploaded a pic 2 months ago that was not 'safe' but 'moderated', but I did't mark it that way.
Moderated pics can not be shared at all with people outside of flickr and flickr member don't see that they even exist, if their settings are the original ones (usual case).

Not safe and moderated marked are also pics there of models for exaple wearing a normal shirt and a thong or if you can see a bit of a breast, it does not even have to be nude, but covered, that can be too much too.

I was just wondering how my work can be 'not safe' or in other words dangerous to people.
I am not speaking of full frontal nudes or something like that, but just well -- the pics I take. Just have a look her and tell me what so dangerous about them but how there is nothing wrong with pictures of cruel violence.

If there only was the possibility to still share them with people by having them agree to want to see unsafe pics, but that is not possible if you don't have a flickr account.

I must admit that it makes me a bit angry and sad at the same time, because I feel like i am treated like someone who shares something illeal or so, when it's just some fine art nude photography. Most of the time not even really nude ...

Well I guess there is nothing I can do.
I thought of changing the platform and going to picasa or somewhere else, but I don't want to loose my contacts and visitors there.
So, do you have an idea of what I could do?

Maybe it would be the best thing to put on my own site somewhere with all my work, I'll think about it. Thanks!

I think by "not safe", they're not literally talking about causing physical or emotional damage to anyone, but mean it in a sense of "Not Safe For Work". In other words, if someone was to open it up in a public place, it could possibly be seen by children (a lot of people will be upset by their children seeing nudity even if it isn't pornographic). Or it might be seen by a co-worker who decides it's sexual harassment, or something.

Ok, I understand but why is there not a button or something where you can decide if you want to see that or not. It is impossible for me to show my work to other people outside of flickr, that's the real problem I am talking about.

I see. Yeah, it would be nice if they had something like when the page opened up, there was a filler for the image saying, "This image may contain mature content. Continue anyway?"

Es ist spät und mein Kopf arbeitet nach vielen Stunden Statik nicht mehr richtig..... Versteh ich das jetzt richtig? Deine Bild wurde als "moderate" eingestuft und Du hattest es vergessen selbst anzuklicken. Und jetzt bekommst Du vermehrt Einschrenkungen für die nächsten 30 Tage?

:icongestiefeltekatze:
Zusammengefasst ja und ich rege mich auf, weil moderated Bilder von nicht flickr-Benutzern gar nicht gesehen werden können, sodass ich sie z.B. Kundinnen nicht zeigen kann.

Und "moderat" bedeutet dort oftmals, dass es auf dA nichtmal ein "Mature Content (Warning)" wäre?

Das stört natürlich Deine "Geschäfte", wenn Du das gewünschte Produkt Deinen Kundinnen nicht präsentieren kannst.
Benutzt Du neben Flickr noch andere Platformen? Du hattest ja angesprochen, ob Du wechseln solltest. Um Deiner Kunden willen, vielleicht ja.

:icongestiefeltekatze:
Nee, ich benutze keine anderen Plattformen sonst.

Hast Du Deine dA-Bilder für Ausenstehende freigegeben? (Bis auf die Mature Content-Sachen natürlich)
