While the overall account setting has been flagged as
“moderate”, you can use the Organizr to flag content
yourself as either “safe”, “moderate” or “restricted”.

This flagging will not overwrite the account setting and
be perceived by the community, but will be visible to us
for review.

Regards,

Heather

“How can you monitor what photos I am marking as safe and
moderated? When since my account is marked as moderated, I
am unable to mark anything as safe?”

We’re looking to see how you moderate what you upload in
the next month. To ensure that you have a better
understanding of how your content should be flagged.

You can moderate your content in Organizr. We will see what
you select and that’s what we will review.

Heather

Chris,

Thanks for your patience.

What we’ve done in the past for similar cases is ask that
members moderate their account for a month. We can then
review and determine if there’s a better understanding.

You can bulk flag your content via the Organizer. Drag the
photos that you want to change the safety level on from the
finder strip at the bottom into to work area. Then select
“Set safety filter” from the “Permissions” menu (second
from left).

We’ll be able to view how you’ve flagged your photos. If we
can see that you’re making an effort to flag your content
appropriately, then we will revert your overall safety
level to “safe/public”. The photos that you’ve flagged
yourself will remain as “moderate” or “restricted” while
the majority will be viewable by all.

Please feel free to respond to this email on or after
December 21st and we’ll review your account.

Regards,

Heather

Apparently Flickr isn’t even responding to me any more. I sent an email Friday afternoon, and again this morning. And I am getting nothing in return. Not even a response telling me they are or aren’t working on it. I love being ignored. Especially when I am a paying customer.

Heather,

I understand that it was possible you were not working over the weekend, so I have waited to post a followup to this query.

I am still wondering when my account will be set back to safe?

Chris,

“According to your definition though,
www.flickr.com/photos/taps7734/1402366597/ should only be
considered Moderated. The same with
www.flickr.com/photos/taps7734/978697341/”

Actually, we consider those to me more sexually explicit
and they need to be flagged as “restricted”.

In joining Flickr, all of our members agree to abide by our
Community Guidelines. These guidelines require that all of
our members be respectful of the community and flag their
content that may not be suitable for “safe” viewing.
Flickr is a very large community made up of many types of
members from all over the world. In crafting our Community
Guidelines, we weighed the rights of the individual vs. the
rights of the overall community and built a system that
would enable members to choose what they want to view.

We built the filters in such a way that we would not be
come the arbiters of what is and isn’t artistic. It’s meant
to ensure that members who may not want to see graphic or
sexual images don’t have to, and those members who want to
can opt in to do so.

With regards to changing your status, it’s not clear to me
from our back and forth that you understand why filters are
important in respecting the greater community. We’re happy
to work with our members, to get them back to a
“safe/public” status, but we need to get a sense that
they’re more understanding of why it’s important.

Regards,

Heather
