• All photos that are uploaded are moderated (meaning they must be approved before they can appear on the site). This process takes time due to the volume of photos that are uploaded. We appreciate your patience, and ask that you do not try to upload the same photo repeatedly.
• Your photo has violated the sites content policy or does not follow the theme of the content group. We have the respect the rest of the user community when dealing with images that do not conform to standards of our site.
Q. Why does my photo look smaller or a bit distorted after I posted it
A. There are restrictions as to the maximum dimensions of a submitted photo (500 pixels by 500 pixels) as well as the file size (no larger than 2MG). All submitted photos that fall outside of these parameters will be resized or compressed in order to meet the site standards.
