I think I've seen it all! While watching some television last night, there was a commercial advertising for a feminine product that cleared up yeast infections. Hey, it is what it is but everytime the woman spread her legs apart, there was music! Really? Her hooha started singing "la-la-la-la-la....."? I guess their creative team did exactly what they set out to do, create an unforgettable ad! "Joie de hooha!", the slogan, not the product name.
I occasionally listen to French/Japanese/German music. No idea what they're singing, but enjoy the different sensibilities and simply think of the voice as another melodic instrument.
So, if you're feeling stressed, and even if (like me) you can't speak German, I recommend this song/video, it's absolutely serene..

Thank you! That song and video ticked so many boxes! There were kitty cats, dogs, a ukelele-ish sounding instrument and Max Raabe was wearing some pretty snappy socks, too! I love it when men wear interesting socks!
I just read a blog that hit upon a number of things that the author found bothersome and in actuality, most likely bothersome to many. One of the points mentioned was the number of internet pictures creeping onto the Popular page and possibly making their way to the Top of the Month.
Do you know as a member that you can refer any member to Abuse/Evaluation panel for posting internet pics? The referral process might mean deletion of the offending member. Keep in mind, paying members do have more latitude than non paying members and admin has said that he really is not 100% concerned about members posting internet pictures.
Rather then stewing over the matter, do something about it.
It seems as though the member who blogged about the Pic of the Month, Top of the Month and how the internet pictures make their way to the Popular page, has deleted their blog.
This isn't the first time this member addressed things that they feel aren't fair. As soon as I point out the flip
side of the coin, how some of their actions give the appearance of being unfair, POOF! they delete their blog.
I reported like 10 to admin a few weeks ago, all like professionally taken photo sets. Each account name was a different woman's name. Noticed them as I was scrolling down the new members list.
Yes, fake profiles were established years ago in order to manipulate the Domination Game, but now?
I've been around long enough to recognize that whatever can be manipulated, will be manipulated because adults are really nothing more then selfish, manipulative and vain human beings.
Yesterday a picture on the SYD Popular page had approximately 335 views with 450 [HOT] votes generated by 12 members. Really!? Do guys really like anothet guy's DICK that much? Today, the same picture has 100 more views, with 573 [HOT] votes but now there is a thirteenth voter. What a JOKE! The "circle jerk" voting clique needs to be ashamed of themselves for trying to MANIPULATE things.
You certainly can't be mad at Mr. Admin hell, it was last year he was talking the place might close down around or near the beginning of this year. If he found a way to increase revenue to keep the joint afloat a lil longer, I say more power to him! ✊ With the amount of points a couple members MUST be purchasing, he might be making a dollar or two profit for a change.
Members shouldn't whine about the Pic of the Month and pretend that they are not part of THE problem when they vote their "friends" up every time a new picture is uploaded.
so a paying member buys a shitload of points and votes their friends pic up.....they are supporting the site....
Potm has always been the same.....spam for votes....
You have to ask to get votes in potm, that means you actually might have to talk to someone....
Then why be concerned about what's fair with regard to the Pic of the Month? Voting cliques manipulate whose picture will be seen on the Popular page just as some membership will continue to spam members for a vote. It is what it is.
Hey, you wouldn't happen to know why 3 friends of one of your friends blacklisted me today, would you?
And maybe you should go directly to the people you have an issue with,how would I know what friends of someone on my friends list would do?
I will say this again,just because......the same people winning makes people stop playing/participating.....
Voting circles have always been part of this site..
I was not the member that blogged about the Pic of the Month but I was someone that provided my thoughts on the content of the blog.
Just because "voting circles" have always been a part of the site does not make them right and the "voting circles" have become more apparent out of hand with the number of [HOT] votes that they're going to toss to another "voting circle" player. I guess that I don't understand the importance or vanity involved of being #1 at any cost.
Potm has always been a farce....the way the votes suddenly just jump up on one member always makes me lmfao.....
Not really a lot can be done about the voting circles, unless admin limited the amount one member can vote on one pic...
And as I keep saying,same people on top/Winning makes it boring for everyone else but those people can't see past themselves anyways...ego is a funny thing
It is the nature of the site yes, but as why should it be? The recent fakes were very obviously photo shoots, a few from Germany/Austria and also Australia. They didn't show up on a Google picture search though which was odd. I've never understood why people do it.
I've had the same issue, 1RonG, the pictures look professional yet I cannot find a match when doing a reverse search on Goggle. admin has said in the past that he is not 100% against internet pictures however he has also said something to the affect that if a new member starts their life on SYD/SYC by posting internet pictures, they are beginning their life here in a deceptive way and he is in agreement with having those profiles deleted. Hours ago, Diana_D_Lite , a member of less than one month was referred for review and possible deletion. Concrete proof was provided however a SYC member froze the voting and the reason given was members should be given a chance. I hope that the SYC member contacts Diana and persuades her to delete all of her internet pictures.
Again Diana to me , is clearly a fake and has become more obvious as the pictures are posted. Not sure if she/he deleted the photoshoot photos whether there would be any left. The usual giveaway is lots of quality photos posted very quickly, admittedly Diana hasn't done that.
I really am unsure why people post fakes up. Honestly if the photoshoot is themselves then there is surely no issue, as how's that different from anyone else but if you are posting someone else then and claiming to be them then that is not right
Why do members post internet pictures? Just my opinion, SOME MEN really want to believe and just don't think with their BIG head. They like what they are looking at and if the member posting the questionable pictures even gives them the time of day, damn, it's a twofer!
I am sure there are as many reasons for those who post internet pictures as there are those who post them. Some want the attention and I am sure a lot of them get a thrill out of manipulating another's desires and needs. Others are just internet trolls doing it for their own amusement! That's life. I think they are rather insecure individuals who hide behind a persona to give them a feeling of power, where they cannot otherwise don't have nor can obtain in their own lives.
internet pics have been a problem since people stopped reporting them,why is that? Who knows,I remember there were fewer fakes when you got decent points for reporting them...then that got changed
Even when you show that the pics are from another site,you still get people who think differently about what is acceptable, there's guidance and no actual rules...
Then you have people who will just vote against you cuz of who is reporting.....
And you wonder why people don't actually do anything about it!!!
So you don't believe that 20 points is an adequate bounty for reporting a member using internet pics? That's almost like only doing the right thing when people are watching. Yes, it is admin's site and he allows us to be active in it. He can't be everywhere 24/7 and relies upon us for help. A couple weeks ago a SYD member reported a SYC member and his reason was similar to this; A well known adult model porn star.
Golly gee, the reporting member did not provide proof and you get the members that will vote to delete just because. You are absolutely correct, there are no rules or guidelines and voting members will vote against it just because of who the referral came from. Those people fall within the loose guidelines that admin does provide; IF YOU DON'T HAVE COMMON SENSE, YOU SHOULDN'T BE VOTING.
And if your last remark; "And you wonder why people don't actually do anything about it!!!" is directed to the people that don't refer fakes my response is that they shouldn't whine about then.
Just having a though whilst we are talking about fake accounts... How can we be sure that , because a member has pictures that are available on the internet, that they are fake? Maybe , just maybe they are members of more than one site and using the same pictures?
That's another good point. Voting members do need to consider the "PROOF" submitted. Are the sites amateur or professional? Are the majority of the pictures "borrowed" or are there an abundant of new pics? 99.9% of the questionable profiles referred to the Evaluation Panel for deletion are profiles set up on the SYC side.
Another something that I find strange, I'm always amazed at the number of SYC profiles where the female member chooses to show her face. Yet proportionally, on the SYD side, the members seem more modest, not as many face pictures. Why do you think that happens?
Because those are not posted by females, they are mostly posted by males. Either from internet, of their ex-es or sometimes current female partner, I'm guessing even in the last case half of them posted without that female permission.
Still, there are real females who post their faces, nudists usually don't have problems with that, so I can't just ban every profile with female face pics. And I don't really have time to verify everyone via videochat or verification pics. I mean even if I do, I will have to keep a track on every verified account, because it can pass verification with one set of pics but then delete them and upload totally other set of pics. It would be impossible for me to remember that. Theoretically I can resolve this issue with backups of old photos and verification materials so that I can compare later, but this is something that I don't want to do - it doubles the waste of space and heightens the risks of exposure for honest people if the site is hacked.
Just a week ago Capital One was hacked leaking data of millions of US citizens. If companies like that can be hacked, so can be this site.
I doubt many are buying points at all.. just the other day I got 174 free points... for trashing Hotpussy's page with gifts and comments. Actions on the site points.
It's funny that lix froze the abuse panel member which is a fake. Hmmmmm, that member has been leading Best Image/Member contest since we left. I smell a RAT.
I'm not sure what I smell but I did find it odd that *lix* froze voting because the member deserves to be contacted. She, *lix*, has referred a few SYC profiles due to being fake and as I recall, there was a time that I voted [NO ABUSE] when she did not provide proof. She went ballistic but went back and updated her referral to include proof. And the member that referred Diana_D_Lite did provide proof. Oh well.....

And there's a longtime Canadian SYD member that will vote to delete regardless of whether the referred member cleans up their profile and removes the internet picture(s) in question.....
Bella go on line learn about spiders I was freaked out about them to so I learned about them I know what spiders will kill me and what spiders will make me sick thank god there’s only three in Pennsylvania I have to worry about
snakes, I find those deeply repulsive and a certain fear of heights.
The remedy against getting old is alas dying young and the vast majority of us choose the first option. The only advantage being that there will be a moment that you're dying to die.
I'd have to say spiders freak me out the absolute most. There was one so big coming down the wall, some years ago, it was hairy, you could see its eyes, I still cringe thinking about it. I was terrified, my Wife and I both ran out the house.
It depends were your from but that sounds like a wolf spider they can't kill a man but they can make you sick as hell and they leave a big welt were they bit you
Okay, scaredy cat, did you have your wherewithal to evacuate with the 6 children or was it "every man for himself"?
I am curious, though....if the darn spider was so repulsive that it caused you to flee, how did you decide the coast was clear and you could reenter your house?
I guess as I get older, my collection of fears seem to go away. In fact, they diminish and seem to go away. I think I have only one, and that is the fear of not having enough time to do the things I want to do before I leave this life. Time slips away, that is normal, everyone lets that happen, life gets in the way.

I noticed that Sexiestslooty had a web picture on the Popular page. It's gone now but I certainly noticed it.
Some members may even use fakes for attacks

As long as people are buying points and using them voting... what's going to change ?
This place has been at threat of closure since I've been here,yet new members still join and pay/buy points....
Potm has always been the same.....spam for votes....
You have to ask to get votes in potm, that means you actually might have to talk to someone....

Backtrace all the PM's about how to vote.. Now THAT would be hilarious
I have the normal fears, the fear is spiders, doctors, needles, etc..... I guess my biggest real fear is getting old, the quality of my life changing.

I had a bat in my house and I took care of the problem and I didn't even cry or piss myself! I'm quite proud of myself!
