"Why was this pic deleted?"

Crying woe isn’t really helpful. As Chainer said it would be vastly more helpful if you and others reported pics that you thought toed or crossed a line when you see them uploaded. There’s like a bajillion images on this site and not enough days in our lives to make 1v1 comparisons of them all. That’s why there’s a report button.

What do you think I did above? You did it with hypocrisy on my part. I have reported and shown photos that should not be on this site. Since you deleted the post I was posting.

As I stated in my original post:

this is the place to ask what happened to specific images, and not a discussion of why images in general get removed

If you choose to continue getting hung up over one picture, that's on you. There is no conspiracy that mods are targeting your images. Read Chainer's response one more time if you haven't already, and get on with your life. This will not be discussed any further here.

You can delete my posts and messages... You know better, good luck.

Any idea why these 3 were deleted?

The first and last are blacklisted, the middle one has the reason "Sean Nelson (watermark removed)".

It would probably be a good idea to add an optional field to the batch delete interface for a removal reason.

I know there's always a risk when I upload a Sean Nelson / HerBiceps pic, but I still regret being the policy being fuzzy here.

was that the one of Alyssa Kiessling? im assuming so because the instagram link takes me to a blocked account (LMAO)

as an aside i'm wondering if we can OK posts that come from someone's social, as long as a link is provided to prove it isn't a screencap from one of the VODs

What have you done to piss off Alyssa? 😀

It's her, yes. She posted this pic on her own account, and it has 'Photo by Sean Nelson' in it, so it's certainly not a screencap.

It’s a long story lol

Being respectful to copyright owners is better than trying to make a point with a lawyer. Lawyers win every time, while everyone else loses.

When the risk of keeping a photo is unnecessarily high, even if in the grey zone, then better remove.

But Chainer once said:

With HerBiceps specifically, we have a little leeway because they have authorized us to post small samples of their work (and certainly images that are already available for free on model instagrams would qualify).

So I would say the risk is not 'unnecessarily high', even more because the pic was posted on Alyssa's Instagram.

@ElsieGuen fair enough for that context. I don’t follow the instagram profiles, and I don’t know about the other mods, so there will be cases where will be harsher than necessary, because we can’t keep track of all the finer details.

So could we say the Alyssa Kiessling pic probably should not have been deleted?

I restored it. Taking Chainer's quote into context, and the fact that Elsie linked to the source (IG post) it came from, I see no reason to keep it off the site. It was a popular image as well.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I dont get it. Herbiceps allowed to post Preview Clip. It was written in my picture that its from the Preview, uploaded on their official Youtube Account, free to see for everyone. It still gets deleted???

i'm pretty sure we're only allowing branded stuff that the women have posted to their socials, but not form any of the HB channels.

but why? if its mentioned in the video that its from a preview clip, i dont see the problem

It wasn’t written in the comments and we have no context to know what is free to use and what isn’t from HerBiceps. We also have too many pictures and videos to go through to know the finer details of an image.

For a site, like HerBiceps, that is generally protective of their content deleting is a safer bet, than angry emails asking for a take down. We would need to discuss the policy around “previews”, but until then best hold off.

The source and the fact thats from a preview was written in the video! Can you pls undelete the clip if i post the source? it was the highest score of the day, everyone liked the preview clip.

Getting a high score is not a reason to keep a video or image. There are plenty of popular video and images that fall foul of the rules and intents of the site, so they get deleted. As I said, we’d need to discuss our policy before undeleting the clip.

Update: @corleone49 reinstated video following internal discussion.

Now photos in excellent resolution are not a priority?

Well it depends on their content, so you’ll need to provide more context.

Instead of posting a passive aggressive question, can you ask about an actual image?
