I suggest to reconsider the rule disallowing pictures with "Sexual interaction and extreme closeups of genitals".
I have a folder with several ARTISTIC closups from previous WallBase. Smth like this, this, this or this. As you can see they're more ARTISTIC than most of uploading now non-closups. But in accordance to current rules I cannot upload pictures like that because they're "too lewd".
muck3 If you go to your browsing settings you can add tags to your blacklist so that walls with those tags will not show up for you.
x256 "Artistic" is very subjective. I have no problem with the shots you linked but to me they are not artistic at all, they are just better quality then most porn shoots. However for every picture you'll find somebody who finds it "artistic". So we can't rely on vague terms like that. However if we were to remove the rule altogether we'd get a flood of hardcore porn, which is essentially what we're trying to prevent.
Also the "extreme closeup" rule probably doesn't apply to the second and third wallpapers you linked. For better or worse, we already have tons of wallpapers like that and at least the second one has already been uploaded.
@cwsobaki Lapse We have wallpaper grouping but it's currently only used for different resolutions of the same wallpaper. We may expand this in the future but it's low priority.
muck3 Not likely. With three levels as it is people already have enough difficulties deciding which one is appropriate for some wallpapers. It's very subjective at times. You can use the tag black list in your profile to hide some of the hardcore stuff.
Gandalf I thought it would sound like taxing basal allures of basement dwellers who want to login to such images :\ btw I hope you too enjoy the protests in the comments :)
woops AksumkA cc to too :) !
I was wondering if removing the site reference from facebook would deter all these dumbasses divebombing here. >:(
is there a program or a way to download all the pictures in my favorites? thanks for any answear in advance :D
slow64: there isn't as far as we know, but there are some scrapers out there that might have a setting to collect only someone's faves. We recommend people just download what they want to keep as they go along.
alzz: if you mean not have a FB presence, that's a bit extreme (and I can't stand the thing). Idiots will find us either way.
Gandalf: O: awesome!! i never looked much into LESS, only been using the complete bootstrap and jQuery libraries.
is the development page listing everything you guys are working on at the current moment or is the list like, a giant, santa clause length list? haha
Thanks for the reply
I know this may be unpopular, but seriously. Number one: everything with the tag 'porn' should be NSFW. If the people in the wallpaper are not fully clothed, it should be NSFW. NSFW means 'not safe for work', and only pics you would be comfortable showing your boss should be in SFW and sketchy. To be clear, Sketchy does not mean women covering their boobs with their arm. Sketchy means, it has hot girls in it, but they are wearing clothing (not lingerie) and in a non-bedroom environment. I feel like every time I come here, all I see is porn. I don't want to turn of sketchy, because wallpapers that are actually sketchy are fine. At the same time, there is far too much porn in the category. As a final comment, this is a WALLPAPER SITE, not a porn site. I have seen naked pics in sketchy that are completely the wrong dimensions. If it is in the porn category and not widescreen, it's just porn. Put it on Imgur. Sorry for the rant, but it is very frustrating, especially since I can't browse this site at a public computer any more.
@grif Mobile wallpapers aren't a priority for now.
SamSpade The discussion is old, here is the short version:
A lot of people want the porn here. It's always been here (or rather on wallbase) and we'd basically alienate half our user base by removing it.
Don't get hung up on the word-by-word meaning of SFW/NSFW. We just need a three-step division of purity with reasonably short words to describe them. If you're actually at work, no wallpaper site is appropriate because your boss is expecting you to be working.
If you want to browse wallpapers in public, just turn off both nsfw and sketchy.
Imo it wouldn't be a bad idea to add 4th flag which should be named smth like XXX for obviously porn pics that aren't even horizontal oriented.
@Jlyvers Some context? :D
Hey guys, is there any way to transfer favs from one collection to another, e.g. from default to a new one? Maybe I'm just blind, I just can't find any option for that.
kosmonaut It's not possible yet. You'll have to un-fav the wallpapers and then add them to the new collection individually.
"Artistic" is very subjective. (...) So we can't rely on vague terms like that. However if we were to remove the rule altogether we'd get a flood of hardcore porn, which is essentially what we're trying to prevent.
I understand that. But if you stricktly follow the rules you'll have to delete all of these wallpapers too: 4lvvd2, 4ovvj7, 4x33jo, 497721, n6ggmw, nmvvzy, 4x33z3, 4866e1, 01ww1v, nkvvzq, nr55gm, 0pv5jp, 0pvmd9, 0pvmd9, 0qvpyl They all contain extreme closeups or sexual interactions and all of them I find nice. It just an example. I've seen plenty of pictures on wallhaven actually breaking the rules (like the ones above) but they're kind of 'artistic' too. So neither you or the other administrators don't want to delete them despite any reports. Don't this approach is more vague?
Try to understand me, I don't so care if some of my uploads will be deleted. I just don't want to miss good wallpapers. The situation makes me to use additional sources but I don't want to. I wish wallhaven would be the only place with all the pictures for my desktop without need of any others.
P.S. Just remember wallbase and think about all the pictures looking like a low quality porn film screenshots there. How many of them contained closups or interactions? 1%? Or less? Wallbase was look like a dump sometimes because of damn huge photosets was there. That was the reason. But it seems like minimum width restriction resolves this issue on wallhaven. So I think everything will be alright if you exclude the rule and test it.
To those reporting dupes: remember to only do this if the walls have identical (or near-identical) resolutions. Don't forget to actually mention the ID/URL of the original wall. For those doing it right, thank you.
x256: we aren't aware of each and every wall out there. We can only deal with walls breaking rules as we find them. As you can see, those you listed have since been removed.
We have someone on a regular basis telling us what their personal preference is and what they consider artistic, but that isn't enough to change our attempt at (as much as possible) objective criteria. Clearly we can't cater to every user's individual wishes, so we have to take a wide approach, and just now that means no closeups of bits. Obviously that leaves something open to interpretation, but like Gandalf says, we have to compromise on these things.
Cryzeen: we have enough trouble agreeing on, explaining and enforcing the green/yellow/red system, so like with A/G/P, this isn't gonna change.
@Armest: not manually - please contact AksumkA.
Is it possible to delete wallpapers that I have uploaded?
GlossGhost: users can't do this - just report the ones you'd like removed.
anyone have any Roswell wallpapers
we have to compromise
Lets see how it works. For example take a look at the latest uploads. Someone has just published a photoset of 20 pictures looking like this, this and this. As far as I can see their quality is much worse then you have to delete time to time (for example you've deleted 54lq0e, m0j541, x4g74v, y47908,z4o50q, ln6ln6, ... and many more like them). But if you follow the rules you can't delete that shit! The chosen approach makes you to delete only those of them which have interactions. It's about 30% or 6 of 20 pictures. So 14 (the most of them) will remain. At same time you have to delete roughly 5-10 quality pictures similar to those I demonstrated above but in a way breaking the rules. As a result current rules make you delete good and bad wallpapers in the ratio of 1 to ~2. But low quality pictures occur much (MUCH!) more (in the wild it's 1 of 10000 or smth like that). It's like amputating a hand because of splinter in a finger! The quantities are uncomparable as 1:1.
cant crate some tags ... for example " fog "
poune: because is under tag 'mist', so use that instead of 'fog'.
For reason I can not upload pictures and images seen worse than mine and those people continue to rise without any problem !!!
