Throws hat into the ring, ties PK up with gaffa tape and bundles her into the cupboard under the stairs without a word to anyone :rascal:
hmmm that sounds quite fun....:rascal:
I was here first- you can sit on my lap if ya like- but only if you don't have a bony bum. We could be here some time.
Quote by foxylady2209Umm, yes.
Do we get to punish anyone who tags our pics wrong? Or does it in a way designed to annoy us? Good questions.
Why would a complete stranger be able to put a label against my picture? Isn't that kind of high-handed, self-opinionated behaviour something swingers have been fighting against for years? You'd think so.
Have I got this right? Pics in the public folder are open to tagging by all and sundry, you have to hide them in a private folder if you want to avoid that?

I have black friends who use the "N" word to describe themselves when they're with peers. I can't say I'm keen- and you won't hear me say it. However, it's their choice. If it makes me uncomfortable to hear it thats my problem- not theirs.
It's the intent, not the word that makes it "ist."
And thats why the word (and such like) will never 'die'
............. and that in a sense is the problem, people can and do make assumptions about words, It is one of the words that really divides.... even if you were to ask people I bet most black people hate it, but a large section of people who use it will say they are reclaiming it......
my friends know not to use it in front of me, it does make me feel very uncomfortable because I have had it used at me with so much venom in the past
there are words that I do use when I am around friends, but that is from having that sense of familularity (sp) I would never use anything that I know my friends would be offended by....
sorry... thinking out loud then... but a bloody good topic...
Who'd a thought the word "Numpty" could cause so much offence? Weird.

Have I missed something? I don't see anything about rating/tagging pics on my profile. Is it only for extras members?
In edit: Ok I found it - under the individual photos.
So, just what is tagging then?
See it as "indexing" Foxy. An individual pic is "labelled" (tagged.) When someone searches for (eg) "lesbian" anything tagged as such shows up in the search.
It's a means of narrowing a search, or pissing people off, depending on how it's done.

do you mean she usually beats about the ...erm bush :smile2:
I think so, but let's ask her - splendid, are you a bush beater... babe? <snigger> :rascal:
I wish I could say yes..... but that would lead me down the road of talking about how all women have been brain washed by the porn industry and a patriarchal society to wax their bush off. So, I will say yes - when possible- and no!
You wouldn't want to get your bra burning and yer bush waxing mixed up :shock:
I have gay friends who refer to themselves as faggots, queens, queers, puffs etc etc etc. The terminology is widespread among their circle of gay friends. My close gay friend refers to me as "trollop" or "tart"- I might occasionally make a joke along the lines of "have you bent over forwards to help anyone today?" or "get on with it you bloody mincer."
It's not an issue because I clearly have no issue with his sexuality.

Sheesh.
Is it really that difficult to see why this has got peoples hackles up?
As has been pointed out MANY times in this thread, it's not the concept of having tags in photos which are the problem, it's the allowing of random people to choose what tags OUR photos receive, why not just go the whole hog and allow people to upload their own pictures into our own galleries?
LET US decide what tags WE want on OUR OWN pictures with the caveat that if you don't tag pictures, then they don't appear in the search! Simple? Easy? Placates everybody? Or just carry on as you are, ignoring the comments & feedback that many (and well established) members of the forum are giving you.
If I walked into your house and sat on your sofa and started critiquing your family photos on the mantle piece would you be happy?
The stupidity of this just defies logic.
Careful 6's, you'll find yourself in an AC/Witchy sandwich if you carry on being so goddam spot on. :idea:
So, Martin. Why not go for the third way that's been suggested. People "tag" their own photos. I've not seen one person disagree with that in principle.
It can be done. The only possibly reason I can think of for you not considering it is the one Essex suggested. I'd hate to think thats the case- but it's looking more and more likely.
Oh, and as for the sweeping statement that people don't like change...with the greatest respect- bollocks. I enjoy and embrace change. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I think people can make their own luck. Sometimes by being positive and having that effect on the people around them - making them more likely to co-operate. Sometimes by taking an action - sending that letter, asking if xyz is possible, having a go.
If you take those factors away there are some truly lucky events, often about being in the right place at the right time.
I know that I've commented to someone that they seem to be blessed with good luck and that I am always struggling and they said "I was thinking exactly the same about you". Our struggles and doubts are often invisible to others - all that they see is our results and successes.
As for me right now? Life is pretty good - but work is threatening redundancies, the mortgage isn't arranged yet and son's uni application is still up in the air. So - lots to worry about. Same old, same old.
I've seen that from both sides. There have been occasions recently where I've let trusted friends know the magnitude of some of the crap happening to us during the last two years. They've been gobsmacked and commented that they would never have known. That's the way I wanted it. I see no point dragging others into your misery pit when they have no need to be there. I'd rather just carry on having a positive impact in their lives.
I've also been in a situation where people have confided in me. There are many, many traumas going on, hidden away in peoples lives. Some of them have shocked me- some have made me think "I wish you could tell so & so- they have exactly the same situation"- but I can't
All I can do is be there, and spread some happiness whenever I can.Envying peoples "good luck" is a waste of a life. Chances are their good fortune is tempered by bad you just haven't seen.
When you're cursing the fact that you missed your bus, smile at the fact that it's not raining- and that you get extra time to enjoy the sun.

We need the public help for the following reasons.
1. We have 500,000 to do if people did all their own and we could rely on them to do them we would not need any help. Fact is most will not bother so that would be a huge issue. If they don't bother, there pics won't show in an advanced search. They have an incentive.
2. If we cant get them tagged we would need to delete them, now if a few of you are frustrated now imagine how that would make thousands of people feel?
Why?
3. Very often you get people trying to pass off as women etc or something they are not. Taking a maximum of ten tags on each picture or video will make sure this will be represented correctly. This is the most honest and accurate way to do it.
No it's not. I made a sensible suggestion to get round abuse of the self-tag system earlier. It wouldn't take 5 minutes for me to round up enough people to have DirtyGirly tagged as a gay bloke.
Oh, and masterbation? On a swingers site? Really really? :shock:
Of course the idea of being able to narrow down categories is a good one.
I would imagine this could be implemented by having a system whereby as you loaded a shot, you gave it "labels."
EG a shot of me being spitroast by a white guy and a black guy whilst masturbating a female would have the tags:
"Group"
"Interracial"
"Bisexual"
If I'd had my face in the cream cake aisle at Tesco, I might decide to use the tag "BBW" (Can't see it though, I hate that phrase)
Why on earth is any need to have some passing Joe Bloggs label me as a BBW?
Or indeed be able to label me at all...that, Dear Admin is what's getting peoples backs up.
Can admin explain why the ability to tag is open to everyone? Is there a reason?
I guess the argument will be that the more tags the better, for functionality purposes. Not so. The more accurate the tag, the better. The person most likely to tag their pics accurately is the owner.
Sure, some people would try to abuse the system, but if the tags were kept to a maximum of say 5 per pic, they could be approved by the mega-mods as the pic was being approved. Or there could be a report this tag option.
This isn't social me.
