Photo Tips

Users can post pictures of an adult nature on the public gallery but these pictures will be moderated as adult and can only be seen when a VIP user requests access. By default users will see these pictures as a blurred image. Adult pictures may take longer to appear on your main profile. These pictures will include:

• Pictures of your private parts
• Erections
• Bums
• Pubic hair
• Pictures of your manhood obscured

The following pictures would also be classified as adult:
