As a pic mod, I'm not sure how I feel about this suggestion. I understand that members would like to know why, but it potentially adds a lot of work to mods. While most pics are reviewed one at a time, on occasion we'll look at all the pics a member (high volume posters mostly) and delete pics in bulk. These pics could be deleted for a multitude of different reasons.

I agree that on a one by one basis, if we just had to click a button "repost" "poor quality" "offensive matterial" etc, it would be relatively easy. And then if a report was compiled it would save us sending PM's.

If deleted pics were categorized, we'd then be in the position of being asked to prove it.
Even where possible that would create more work, slow down approval time, require more mods etc. etc.

@Sugarpie
Yeah, I understand what you mean for the extra work. That's why I was suggesting something simple (just a field to check with "other" if nothing suits and nothing to add manually).

@britmonkey
What about adding a little disclaimer in the upload page stating that the only feedback we'll have is just the options checked by the mod and nothing else ? At least that would be better than nothing.
That would also be useful for the pics automatically rejected after upload because we would be able to see the thumbs to understand witch pics that was.
#4450303
I can tell you now that 95% of the reasons why a pic was deleted is because it was a repost. It's the other 5% that would cause an argument.

Ok, that's good to know

What is really great about WBW is it being a community. hope that never changes.

it'd be nice to have a pictures-only membership. some people are not interested in videos but want full-quality pictures.

and maybe a pay-for-credits system. someone might see a video that he must have but isn't interested in many others.

Working on the credit system now, the credit system will add unlocking content or even get a sponsor membership if you got enough credits that is.

The idea is to even add an achievement system, and get credits for achievements, uploads, ratings, tagging ect.

Ive been a freebie member here for ages and regularly check back for new pics. I try to contribute what I can but make a point of rating every pic I see. The rating system refresh thing needs changing, which I've read is in progress.

A mobile version is probably needed, as I, and probably most others, check from iPhones etc.

Smilies need to go, or be selectable via preferences.

The Tag search is an awesome tool on here, but could be refined or recategorized, as someone said head to toe etc.

As for colour scheme, I prefer the black, the light one was too light for me.


On a side note, I NEVER pay for porn, cuz I can always find it for free somewhere, however yours is the ONLY site I've considered paying for, however the benefits, for me, don't actually warrant paying.......yet.

Apart from that, keep doing what you're doing.

preview of the new credits system... (if you unlock content, all options a sponsored member has for the current content will be available to you as long as your account exists!). New site will support account deletion.

Brilliant, Diz. That's an awesome idea. Not sure whose it was, but it's a great idea. I also like the crisp, clean look of it.

Normally updates annoy the shit out of me, but this one will be a very welcome one indeed, for lots of reasons. Thanks for cleaning up the house.

I stopped designing WBW myself after version 4, all the redesign after that were made by Wortol... It was only about eye-candy, and always had the idea that he didn't do his job with proud and joy. Now I have designed the layout myself with the focus on simplicity and clean layout (I am not good in all that eye-candy). Most members we lost when we introduced version 5... Hopefully we can get the old glory back with new site.

Phally is helping me with the more technical stuff as payment system, login system and the focus on security and perfecting everything. Phally is a real help, he is doing a great job!

Ochie is testing, helping out with brainstorming/input and running the support department. Same goes for Ochie, he helps out great and couldn't do it without him!

1234 credit is way too much for this pic !

That system seems nice. Nice work !

Have you already thought about how many credit will have to be spent for one picture ?
I look forward to see the achievements too ^^

Concerning what Adrees said above about the tag list. I had worked a few weeks ago on a better way to sort them. I haven't finished it but if your interested I can do it and post it here.

1234 was just easy for me to see how the layout would scale with bigger number, I dunno about how much credits everything should be and should cost. Thing is, I want to refine a system that incorporates activity, sharing and quality. So users who do their best will get enough...

i was gonna say.. 1234 credits for a picture, is crazy!


To download the original high quality pictures shouldn't be any more than what a video is now. thats the one thing i always wished was different. i wish i could download the pictures in there original HQ form, like if i had a sponsor membership!



looks arite though. although i always miss the old version when a new one comes out, always takes some getting used to

LoL 1234 credits would be way to much, it's just a layout thingie. I was thinking about 2 or 3 credits per picture and 1 credit for every megabyte of movie.. and yes if you unlock a image you can download the high quality variant if available. This will all be included, no worries!

A couple credits sounds good to me, but even pictures i CAN access now, the ones that don't require a sponsor membership. i wish i could download the better quality versions.


like in my sig for instance

After we finish the web version, we will start working on a mobile version (scaled down). With playback support for html5 capable browsers.

I think beta testing will start in a couple of months, working as hard on it as i can! Maybe it goes faster, maybe slower. Wish I could give a better time frame...
