Also it doesn't really matter if we have the same fundamental picture in this massive database 2 or 3 times. Thank you

The rules state those are examples. Any alteration (aside the few exceptions stated) aren't allowed.
What boobiemonster said under your reply is pretty much how it works :
"the only reason a picture should be cropped is because you took it yourself and want to make an adjustment.
All pics found on the internet should be posted untouched.... "

You have to keep in mind that you want amateur pics no pro pics , so it's wrong to put your expectations equal to the pics posted on onlyfans (because a lot of those are accepted)

2 more examples of same kind of bad quality or worse the were accepted recently (are currently in the trending pics on the

Those last 2 pics are actually a good example at what I was talking about subjectivity for judging quality. Quickly looking at those, I'd say the 1st one is ok-ish and the 2nd one is a no. So you can kinda see where the line would be, for me. But evidently, that line isn't the same for everybody, including you, or the other mod that accepted those. Just like I've seen pictures rejected as bad quality that I would have let through.
There isn't much we can do about that, same goes for underage. Back when I was recruiting mods, I'd give the member a small test with a bunch of pics to "mod" and that included some bad quality pics, some obvious, some a bit more on the fence. This usually would help a little get a more uniform vision of what is ok or not but that's about it.
The one change that could aleviate that would be that when a pic is rejected for quality or underage, it would go into another queue where more mods would give their opinion and the pic would then be accepted or denied depending on the consensus. But that means : developping that new system and more moderation time.

50% accept rate.

Focus on catching the OF/pros (usually 2-3 at any time on trending), stop nitpicking 50-100px of cropping deemed “photoshop”, let users vote on quality.

Like for real: - so this passes quality (disregard size)

Moderator standards are different for different users… one guy who posts great shit, 100% of his last 4 posts are OF models, easily found. I want that moderating standard on my queue please


About your stats, you haven't replied to my question about it ? When did you start uploading stuff? It's possible that the livelog is missing many pics removed afterwards because it was setup after the moderator stats.

About the bad quality pic you linked : this 100% shouldn't have been accepted, even 5 month ago. I've removed it.

As for standards, once again I don't understand this tendency to think that mods mod differently depending on the users. No, the standard isn't based on users, it's based on mods. You even have proof of that in your own uploads with the pics that got rejected as bad quality and the one with similar quality that was accepted, because they were both moderated by different mods. It just all depends who mods your uploads. I could walk through some of your upload page and probably find many pro or cropped pics accepted as well. If anything, all it shows is that some mods actually let through too many pics that don't respect the rules (just like your poll shows actually).
So if you find stuff that doesn't fit the rules, rather than think "hey I should also get a pass", just report them and they'll be removed.

conclusion whether your photo will be accepted depends very much on which moderator checks it, depending on whether he adheres to the rules or not

Not really, if a mod goes out of his/her way to target or delete somebies content or doesn't stick to the rules he/she will be removed from the team. There are checks and balances.

Ok - so I go to one user. I look at their last 4 photos. All hot women. Do a Google Lens search, 100% of them are OF models. I reported all of them.
How does that shit get through when these 4 uploads are denied for "Altered/Photoshopped" because maybe something was deleted to make the photo better?

Such as? As long as you let your mods use "other" to say a photo "doesn't add anything to the site" or "it's not erotic" Or "doesn't show any cleavage or skin" they can pretty much do what they want, and members can complain all they want, but nothing keeps it from happening.
For all the complaints you've had on these threads about pics being rejected and uploaded by someone else is just mods not knowing what each other is doing? You've got some mods rejecting pics as "bad quality" yet another letting in real grainy and blurry pics worse than the ones being rejected.
Right now over 50% of the pics uploaded don't belong on a "porn" site.

These two sections currently have close to 500k images in each, all of which are uploaded by users of the website (not just by me and omuh or anyone else that you currently have an unhealthy obsession with). The fact that many different users upload so many of these images suggest they like them.

I can’t speak for ALL non-nude images, but, seeing as you have a hard-on for me I’ll use my uploads as examples, and the majority of my uploads are voted fairly highly. More evidence that these images are enjoyed/welcomed by some users of the site.

I’m not into bondage images, it’s really not my thing. But, I appreciate that many are, so I don’t post on here moaning about how these images should be rejected, I simply ignore them and move on with my life.


I stand by my statement, 90% of yours and oumh's pics would look nice on a fashion site, but can't even remotely considered as porn or erotic. As for ratings, far too many high ratings are given to pics that don't deserve them for one, and when the majority of pics are non-nude and bikini/beach what can you expect. You have a bad habit of picking just a small part of any comment to reply to and never fully addressing the whole thing. The mods can easily shape the content by what they let be uploaded. You can use "other" to reject any photo you want, and justify it with the old stand by "it doesn't add to the site" or"It's not erotic". Most of your pics are non-nude, quasi-pro models, over made up and semi-professionally posed. If Diz thinks that makes it "the best amateur porn site" he'll keep losing members. I see pics uploaded by "deleted" almost every day, and if you take the time to check, you'll find a great number of members still listed, but haven't logged on in YEARS! Not just 2 or 3, but 10, 12 15 years, and still being carried as members. That sort of tells you where this site is going, doesn't it. I'll probably be here till the end, but only because a few members actually upload decent porn pics.

This, again, has been answered countless times already. We have covered the fact that “bad quality” is a subjective moderation option (same as “underage”, for the most part). What I classify as “bad quality” (and therefore a rejection) might just scrape through with another moderator. Same as another moderator might view an image subject as being underage, and I think she looks 20 (although remember “underage” can also mean there’s an obvious child in the background of the image). We know it’s not perfect but it’s the system that’s in place. So yes, you can end up with the situation where two images of the same woman can be moderated in different ways.

Not erotic TO YOU. These images (not just mine) are uploaded by many different users and are constantly rated highly.

I don’t even know where to start with this comment. So you’re basically saying that too many people are giving high ratings to images that you don’t personally like, and this is a problem with the website? If an image gets lots of high ratings, it’s suggests lots of people like it, right? I mean that’s literally how the rating system works.

I agree that there are plenty of members still with accounts on the site that haven’t used it in years. This can be for a variety of reasons of course, including people not enjoying the site anymore. I don’t disagree that people come and go from communities/websites like this but that happens when you run a successful website for DECADES like Diz has.

I honestly have no idea what “active user” numbers look like currently, or how many premium membership subscribers there are now compared to 1, 5, 15 years ago, so I don’t know how you can say “this tells you where the site is going”. For all we know, there are more active users currently then there ever has been 🤷‍♂️

The other thing to remember is that the website is STILL advert-free. Compared to most other sites that offer such a variety of images (including the type that you enjoy personally) isn’t it great that you don’t have to deal with pop-ups and flashing banners etc?

So yes, the moderation process still isn’t perfect (it never will be) but it’s not the end of world. And remember we are still talking about images people have taken from other websites - for the most part they’re not original content taken by the uploader, so perhaps we just need to take things less personally when an image is rejected? It’s really not worth the stress, and if you DO feel the uploading process is too tough, stressful, irritating etc. then just don’t bother - life is too short to get worked up about this stuff.

It depends on the mods because all mods don't always double check pics (or know) pro content and cropped stuff, or because there is some subjectivity from some rules (quality and age) that can't really be helped (other than having a consensus system as stated above).
But in no case does that mean mods don't adheres to the rules. More often than not, it's just that some stuff will go through even though it shouldn't have (and feel free to report it so it's deleted if you have proof it doesn't fit the rules).

If you can find people that can 100% check all pics, and do that consistently every day to absorb the amount of uploads, all that for free, send them to Diz! As someone who's been recruiting mods in the past, I can tell you it's hard to find good mods!

Just means that the mods who went through those uploads (if they were all moderated at the same time, it's most likely the same mod), didn't check them well enough. It surely also happened to some of your uploads at some point too. Just report those and move on (you'll even get credits for it ^^)
Again, if anything it just shows that stuff isn't filtered well enough, at least when it comes to stuff that can be verified, like pros and cropped.

Why? Bad composition should be preserved? Quality shouldn't be improved? I'll have to disagree with you there and also omuh's reply. This is hard for moderators to catch anyway and it is not hard to find accepted pictures that have been cropped from other versions. Doesn't matter either! Thank you

Let me answer you with an example of your accepted pics....
This is your pic https://whatboyswant.com/babes/naked-babes/4315213 , obviously heavy cropped
This is the original : https://whatboyswant.com/babes/beach-bikini-babes/2655855
what do you prefer , and what is the added value of the cropped one ?

the heavy cropped -as photography art- is better because you observe a facial expression and only the two babes that fill the canvas. but there is a problem: the cropped is of higher vertical resolution (2193 vs 1280 pixels) yet it's really weird, the one of higher resolution is worse in quality!! really, I downloaded the full-size.
you can only crop a photo if you do it before you export from RAW to jpeg, there are users who do it. editing pictures leaves metadata on the file.

Wait... I'm not even allowed to crop a picture to remove a watermark or something like that?

Concerning the quality of uploaded pictures:
Normally when one of my uploads get rejected due to "bad quality", I take a second look at it and say "yeah, blurry, pixelated, not my best choice".

But then you have a picture like this rejected

Due to bad quality. It has 10MP and an awesome quality.

And then you find a user like
https://whatboyswant.com/user/cadiz69
Look at his uploads about 4 months ago.
https://whatboyswant.com/babes/selfshots/4232630?c=u-1129978

https://whatboyswant.com/babes/selfshots/4232652?c=u-1129978
That's frustrating to see those pictures getting approved.


Anyways, imho I think that everyone here does overall a good job and it's fun to contribute to this community.

And I giggle everytime a picture gets rejected due to "watermark" and I'm like "No, they're wrong there is no..... Ahhhh... There it is"

Yeah that's a weird one. My guess is that's a missclick on the rejection reason.
With the position of our buttons, I'd say either pro (although haven't found anything on that pic myself) or underage (as she does look questionably aged) but I can't tell for sure.

You're not alone
How many times do I start checking for sources and if it's pro or cropped etc. only to realise after all that and going back at the pic that there was a watermark the whole time
