NUDITY ON IMGUR

We've had an increase in posters thinking nudity is banned at imgur.com.

Imgur still allows nudity.

The #1 cause of that issue is clicking the button to publish the pictures to the 'gallery' http://imgur.com/gallery

Imgur does not allow nudity there.

When you upload there don't click any "share" or "publish" buttons/links. Just get the URL for the picture/album and post that on /r/gonewild.

$ FOR CUSTOM CONTENT

There is a troll jumping accounts that offers money for custom content, never sends payment and then claims they are underage and starts threatening lawsuits.

Hi. I'm a poster on Gonewild and I was approached by a user going by the name /u/topoholic. He offered me money for custom content, and I accepted. It turned out he was scamming me. Here are pictures of our conversation: http://i.imgur.com/l8pZ1By.png I don't know how legitimate his threats are, but please ban this asshole from the gonewild subs (and reddit as a whole) so he doesnt prey on another

Also, please note our sidebar text:

If you use reddit to sell ..., and wish to post to Gonewild, please do so under a separate account. We wish to remain separated from all money-making endeavors, so that Gonewild remains a purely exhibitionists subreddit where people post for absolutely no other reason than the thrill of it.

FACEBOOK TROLL LINK

If someone sends you a link like http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?=743264506 please just click 'report' or 'block' on the message.

If you get a different link, try logging out of facebook before clicking on it to test it. If any doubts remain, please send the exact link you received to us mods to investigate it.

GEOTAGGING HEROING

If you get a message like https://vidble.com/show/QgGfcttwn9 and/or they pester you for snapchat/skype/email please screenshot and forward to the mods and report to the admins.

From another poster:

He also tells girls "Be careful if you're posting from your Mac..." to just blindly make girls nervous. He then talks girls into Skyping with him and will refuse to help in Reddit messages. Only Skype. Then, when he gives his advice, he expects the girls to reward him with sexual favors. He then harasses them if they do not.

If you feel that a hosting site used by posters is revealing geotag information please contact the mods with details. The main hosting sites allowed here have been confirmed to strip geotag information from uploaded pictures.

PHOTOSHOP OFFER

There is a guy that periodically claims to photoshop posts for many GW posters. Sometimes he does this via posts in other subreddits, some times he mass spams a private message to posters and non-posters alike https://vidble.com/show/criBvxuU52 . Many of his examples are pictures he photoshopped without permission.

If you want to make minor tweaks (color balancing, adding a watermark of your reddit account name, blocking out tattoos, etc) to your own photos, that is OK. More excessive modifications leads to user reports and spam filtering/banning (depending on circumstances).

Also - be highly suspicious of any PMs suggesting that you email them - your email may be traceable to your real identify or may reveal other details. We recommend clicking 'report' and 'block' on them.
