<p>I chose to post this outside of the system issues blog because I believe you need to address this issue. It is a recurring issue for people that upload videos and pics. There is no clear rules or feedback regarding uploads. And for a site that is dependent upon those that upload to continue its existence, it frankly if poor customer service and creates both frustration for some and creates tension between those that have videos approved on a regular basis with those that do not seem to be able to get anything posted. I know that to be a fact. There is a belief that approval of uploads is based on privilege and favoritism. I have been messaged by members multiple times because I do get multiple videos approved that I am privileged and that my video approvals choke their videos out. In fact, that belief, in part, has cost me what was once a good friendship.</p>
<p>The inability to know whether or not what you upload will be approved and posted should not be a mysterious process. Members should know the status of their uploads in a reasonable time. And, in fact, the why not should be just as apparent.</p>
<p>I also know that uploads are sometimes held for a considerable amount of time and then mysteriously appear. Toby19 has been absent from the site for over 200 days. And he just had a video posted. So it has been sitting in some queue for a long time. I have had the same experience multiple times. And while happy to see something finally posted, it is hard to fathom why it was not posted when originally uploaded.</p>
<p>The vast bulk of the members here are here to see the porn. There is most likely a small number of people that actually upload on a regular basis. And this site is dependent upon those individuals. And frankly, they should be treated with more respect and courtesy than they are.</p>
<p>You need to address these issues. Not just with some chit chat about it, but real action that makes members feel that their efforts are appreciated, or frankly this site will have fewer and fewer people that bother to contribute content.</p>
<p>Respectfully</p>
<p>Thomas</p>

@ Nick - my last post has been deleted, is censorship part of the new politic of GBT?

I imagine that many would think I am one of those privileged ...
Only I have be said that to a server, I removed the account (for reasons that were) with 6700 videos posted and I remembered that, had about 4000 posts.
Now I have sent 2519 and 1476 posts.
By that I mean I do not put everything you sent, what happens is that sent a lot and they decide who can put.
They have also threatened to kill me, they insulted me "until he was unaware of expletives" and still hold.
For personal reasons shortly GBT fails "lol one today many take joy" and I know very bad not to see all updates, for sure will have much bigger GBT.


Imagino que muchos pensaran que yo soy uno de esos privilegiados...
Solo tengo que decir que a un servidor,le eliminaron la cuenta (por los motivos que fuesen) con 6700 vídeos enviados y creo recodar que tenia unos 4000 puestos.
Ahora llevo enviados 2519 y puestos 1476.
Con eso quiero decir que no me ponen todo lo que envió,lo que pasa es que envió mucho y ellos deciden los que pueden poner.
También me han amenazado de muerte, me han insultado "hasta de palabrotas que desconocía" y aun así, aguante.
Por motivos personales dentro de poco dejare GBT "muchos se llevaran una alegría hoy lol" y me sabrá muy mal no poder ver todas las actualizaciones,porque seguro que harán mucho mas grande ha GBT.

@ Thomas - there are some rules, very simple and it would make me happy if everyone would respect especially rule no.1, but some don't!! so we need someone controlling the uploads and there are still videos of boys under 18 :(

@ Nick - great to hear about the improvements, but i'm scared that funny or die will kill all the (short)movies, music videos and social spots and 'normal' photos that makes the difference apart from all this porn :( but they make GBT something special

Thanx Thomas. Only reason I opened my account again was your posting here. This site was fun and made me active before but not anymore. As many "old" members know. I don't really know what's wrong here or what's not working because after lots of questions and requests you don't have any respond from admins. I don't care if my membership here is deleted after this post (it's possible) but is still wanting to be as member here there's a lot to do to keep so called active and maybe good members here as active. maybe the sponsors like that too. Have a nice day all my friends here and hot greetings from Bangkok :)Toni

I agree too seems that there is favoritism just look at the last up date of photo's kind of says it all.

And what ever did happen to Toby19 or Nate

sorry for your trouble, but many thanx too all that contribute vids to this site, it is appreciated...I can fix hardware,(pc's and stuff) but not able to understand how software works, LOL, a 5 year can do better than me when it comes to upload videos here or like youtube

I agree. There needs to be an FAQ tab with questions/answers like what is the criteria for an uploaded video to actually get posted.
