Please notice the rule change on pics

[Road Lizard]

At the top of each forum, there is a new notice from Mojojo and I didn't want anyone to miss it. CORRECTION!!!

Showcases will NOT be affected!. Here's the full message:

https://eccie.net/announcement.php?f=213

"Effective immediately any personal or private photographs depicting members engaging in sex acts will no longer be allowed to be posted anywhere on the site. This however does not rule out images found on the Internet of adult film stars engaged in their profession. Additionally any personal images of NON-verified providers posing nude or partially nude will no longer be allowed on the site as well unless they are found on the Internet in places such as backpage, provider personal webpage, etc.

Members may still hot-link personal photographs but only if the NON-verified provider is clothed.

Finally ECCIE will no longer be hosting image attachments however members are more than welcome to use third party image hosting sites to hot-link their images to the site."


Here's a few pic hosting sites:

Something to consider, for those of you who want to preserve your incognito... some hosting sites (like Flickr) are linked to profiles that might compromise your identity and out you if you're not careful. For example, Flickr is a Yahoo functionality (well, soon a Verizon function), and my Flickr account is linked to my Yahoo account, which is labeled with my real name and hometown... information that I probably don't want to be revealing here.

If you use a hosting site, make sure you're not using an account there which might compromise your real world identity. Unless you're an out and proud monger, who doesn't mind the world knowing about your participation in the hobby.

Cheers,

Now I did not know that, great info bcg!

Do you have any sites you would recommend? If you do, I can edit my threads here and on other states.

I'm not really conversant with all the photo hosting sites out there; I just noticed you mentioned Flickr and almost immediately it occurred to me that it'd be less than wise for me to use my Flickr account to post pics here for the reason I mentioned.

I opened a free account at Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/ I think) using a hobby gmail account I use which doesn't expose any personal information, and I use it when I want to post pictures that aren't easily accessible on the web, and that's worked quite well for me.

Something else to note:

Someone in another discussion suggested google photos. If you use google: gmail, google voice, chrome browser, etc - if you use your RW account on the same machine that you use your private account, your searches and activities will be tracked, logged and linked.

To clear all this crap - open your gmail account; click on your little picture icon at the very top right, then select My Account; You can work thru all of those sections at your own leisure, but of particular importance is at the bottom right, My Activity - click Go To My Activity; and there it is, everything linked and logged. You can delete it by going to the blue bar at the top of the page, and clicking the three white vertical dots, then click Delete Activity By - you will be given a calendar to choose a date range.

Once you do that, click the back button to get back to your My Activity page. Click the vertical white dots again, then choose Activity Controls. Go down the list and switch all of those buttons off. Now that account won't log your activity anymore. Repeat for each gmail account you have.

Oh, and I don't think using Google Photos for hosting would be a wise idea.

Thanks, Solitaire. Sounds as though you are very computer savvy, something many of us are not.

I've got to get to Knoxville.

Yeah, I knew that the wording of the OP didn't make sense...it mentioned providers engaged in sex acts. Those type of pix seem to be very rare here.

I suspected that the target of the new rule is the practice (I've seen it mostly in reviews posted in the Texas forums) of pictures of providers giving blowjobs and being penetrated (vaginally and anally) being posted in the review itself (usually in the RoS) and links to videos of same, though those vids tended to be hosted elsewhere.
