WTF! I do understand that some folks are clicking on the pic because the thinks it's amusing but I'm still having difficulty in understanding that at least 7 members voted that Photoshop'd mess as [HOT].
@ bella. We know what your talking about. My wife's last pic from vacation on the hotel balcony. It had 1,900 views, 60 comments, 52 members put it in their favorites. But only 2 members voted "hot" for it. I guess it all goes back to begging for a vote and who begs the best.
--------------------------------------- added after 70 seconds
See! And that's what I'm talking about. Cheap monkey members who create their own personal and customized file of nudes, and in MY estimation, members who do not properly recognize the posting "artist".
There's a good number of my opinions that members don't seem to agree with, I'm glad you understand my point of view on this matter. And for those of you that might be curious, if I write a comment, I ALWAYS vote [HOT]!
I don't want to abuse my privilege to see your activity logs. But from your activity meter (which is open for anyone to see) it's quite obvious that you do not vote for other people's pics, you do not comment on other people's pics and not even communicate much in private.
So. You are not voting for other people's pics, you are not commenting their pics, you are not supporting relationship with other people in private and yet you expect them to come and vote for your pics. Why? Your pics may be good (not for me to judge), but you are not a celebrity, which people like just because they are already popular.
In real life when you ignore people, they ignore you back. And I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing. Personally I prefer that people ignore me, so I mostly ignore them. All I'm saying - on this site (or any site for this matter) it's no different. If you do not show attention to people, they are not interested in showing attention back to you.

What does the activity meter register. Does it register the 20 messages a day I send to the same 20 girls who are the same 20 girls on everyday and they never respond. I'm not one to beat a dead horse. Does it register Everytime my wife responds to 60 comments thanking members for their comments. Does it register the 100 points we spend daily on putting a pic in the banner. Does it register my activity daily in the Forum. Does it notice when we enter the contests. Does it register when we touch 40 members hearts daily. We can't make other members speak to us. Running out of girls to PM. So maybe there are other ways to be active on this site? I could give a shit less about the activity meter.
But is the fact the fact you get no response from 80% ( a guess ) of the females the reason you do not ' gift ' or vote? In my case yes and i guess yours too and then your points will grow. I send gifts , vote , touch hearts etc on those that i have spoken privately with, which unfortunately is fairly few. I cant keep voting and sending gifts everyday or i would look like a stalker to those gew. I ' spend ' where i see it is of most use of getting an interaction , as i am sure you do to...
I've voted for you loads of times, without receiving a vote from you,not even on my joke pics...you can use your points how you see fit,but you've gotta understand,people stop voting for your pics if you don't vote for them... it's just how it is.
You get points for all your actions combined,and if you don't put in to the points pot,you don't really get anything back!...
This was never about what you guys are making it out to be. It was an observation to Bella's post. A simple example of what she was talking about. And had you ever thought we stopped sending gifts because of what you stated. There was a time we sent gifts everyday. But that gets old when nothing in return. We aren't complaining about votes and points. We could give a shit less about them as well as the activity meters. Again it was an example to Bella's post, not my complaint. --------------------------------------- added after 3 minutes
And we look at your site everyday, I think you see that. And if you had a heart to touch we would.
I'm not making it out be anything, you're showing an example of what you do,and how that it doesn't get you what you maybe hoped for,so I showed you by example of what the reality is on this site...if you don't vote for others they don't vote for you, that's not begging like POTM...
It's the same for gifts and comments, if people don't see a thank you or a return of a gift,they stop commenting or sending gifts...I don't know why it's that way..
Out of sight out of mind and all that....
--------------------------------------- added after 8 minutes
I can't see if you've visited me,cuz you're invisible,visits only show up if you've got your invisible settings to show to your friends or you go visible.
I don't have the heart on my page,it gives me a headache,so I don't have it on my page...
I'm not meaning to make it out as anything. Ihoped what i was saying was ' backing you up ' when admin said you did not have a lot of activity recorded. If you have few ( like me ) regular people you actually interact with then the meter will appear low. It seems not to take into account that you may have been on the site for hours at a time or many times at short intervals. My guess is it is a ' weighted ' system to comments in the forum and the like. Some of which a lot of members don't partake, therefore, to me is completely irrelevant. I prefer to just visit other members profiles and slowly get to know tjrm before i send gifts. Maybe in the case of favouriting a picture to a members own profile should cost at least a point a time but then again i thought the whole site was about admiring other peoples atttibutes, so does gifts/votes matter? Politely responding to a pm matters more to me , which sadly a lot of the female members seem not to ( probably because they get lots! ).. just my opinions and i'm not here to upset anybody!
Just as you pointed out, alexblue, the Activity Meter awards the point values that you noted and admin clearly indicated that the Activity Meter registers member's comments, votes, "likes" and private messaging.
On the flip side, admin recognizes members by awarding points daily to members for their "actions" on the site. On average, I receive 150 + points daily for my actions and I spend those same points on voting on pics and gifting members, because I know I will get more the next day.
What is a meaningful comment? You can't just say beautiful tits. You have to write a book about the tits for a comment to receive points? If that's the case, then Activity Meter really means nothing to me.
Well I guess our Activity Meter will stay the same.
--------------------------------------- added after 117 seconds
But that doesn't mean that someone doesn't spend the time and participate on this site. It just means the system doesn't recognize it. That was my point. If someone says "nice cock" it's the same as saying "OMG you have such a nice cock". That would be like someone handing you a $20 dollar bill. Would it be more "meaningful if they said " hey buddy here is a $20 dollar bill just for you". Does it make the money more meaningful. That's just retarded.
Ok. I just left about 20 " meaningful" comments on pics. Saying a bunch of shit I usually wouldn't say. Like beautiful, perfect, love, the best, amazing, and wow. We got 50 points. So does this thing work for each pic you comment on or is it 50 points for the day. --------------------------------------- added after 54 seconds
As far as I'm aware the activity meter just rolls on,
The meaningful comment thing is about leaving a comment, rather than just a smiley face or thumbs up...if you just post emoticons/emojis the comment doesn't tally on the activity meter..
Well they can't say I didn't try. Just wasted 30 minutes for a stupid Excitement Meter that means nothing to us. --------------------------------------- added after 103 seconds
Maybe I should ask them to marry me. Maybe the machine will register that as a meaningful comment.
I think the activity meter is more for seeing who is sociable,it gives an indicator to members,as to what people do here....I see members online for days sometimes,dunno if they forget to log out or something,but when I look at the activity meter it tells me whether or not they actually interact....normally it shows 0 on such members..
So saves me energy and points,cuz it shows that member doesn't post comments on pics,play the excitement etc..
You got it exactly right. The main idea behind the meter is to show other members what to expect from this particular member. It does not give points per se. Though actions that it measures may actually give points at the end of day.
And it's not meant as a competition. It shows top active members, but only for the purposes of finding most responsive members for those who are interested in such.
I'm trying to connect people on this site best I can, but I still fail.
That's the point I was trying to make, you got to spend some to earn some (points).
This was merely an observation that I've made, there's a number of members that sit on their points. I can think of one member that bought 1,000 points a couple of years ago and still has some left. [S]he made a point about buying points to show "support" for the site. C'mon, you cheap monkey, spend some of those points!
Some people are just tightwads, and do not use their points at all,so I can understand if it's annoying,but,I imagine those people are not bothered,they probably don't spend much money in real life either...
Bella i genuinely see the point you are making about those with ' purchased ' points. I guess they see them as a trophy. Simple , polite responses to pm's from some would lead to more communication i think . But again that is my opinion. My guess is a lot would rather not interact with other members, just look at the pictures and do as they wish. It is like most web based communities , a core few will interact abd a lot more will ' lurk '
I've noticed that there seems to be an abundance of cheap members.
There are members that are sitting on a pile of points, yet they do not use them to vote or gift. Are you the same kind of person that walks around with $100.00 bill in your pocket but never break it? For cryin' out loud, what's the point of sitting on your points, do you think that your pile of points impresses others or is it possible that your points make you feel important? You're all bunch of cheap ass monkies!
Cheap monkey/monkies was the kindest thing I could think of. As a rule, I do not use foul language UNLESS I'm in my car and somehow the inner b.east jumps out!
This is an analogy that I used with another member and he liked it. Here it goes; Do you think a dancer/stripper dances because he/she likes to dance? Heck, NO! They dance for the tips. On SYD/SYC, YOUR vote is the "tip". The tip to continue posting more pictures. Look at the cheap monkies here that frickin' post their lewd comments yet are too cheap to frickin' vote [HOT]? SHAME ON THEM! And the members that grab your picture for their personal "favorite" file? They should be charged a point fee for that, too! Frick! How many members are frickin' rubbing one off, technically for free?
How do you think that SYD and SYC members make it to the Popular page? It's frickin' based on the number of views, the number of comments AS WELL AS the number of votes, dammit! Do you really want to be a cheap monkey or have cheap monkies continually visit your page?
Why is it any of your beeswax how people choose to use their points? I sit on mine. So what? They are my points. It's not like a rule to not spend them.
Maybe they are saving up for admin's new feature,you know the one to upgrade your own memberships to premium with your own points... you know ,for us cheap fucks..
I am not a "verified" member. I'm sure that there is no doubt that I am who I purport to be so why should I want to be verified. Why should I care? Are there any benefits?
....just wondering,
The real Kebmo.
I see little, personally, though I haven't been here all that long. Just reassurance if people doubt you. I've proven I was myself with writing on my body to someone who posts here, but only because she seemed cooler than most and had doubts about me. I have no interest in getting verified status, though.
I was gonna say that I can totally see why the ladies/couples would want to.
I personally wouldn't have cared enough to prove it to almost anyone with a couple exceptions, but very few have ever mentioned having any doubts anyway. Does it happen much to you (or if you're verified, did it before)?
I don't think anyone ever queried who I was before I was verified. I just went for it as I was dubious about some others who had contacted me. I suppose that I was just trying to say 'Hey, I am who I say I am.' For what that is worth.
There are some very obvious fakes on here, guys pretending to be women, guys pretending to be couples. This gives a little more confidence that you are actually talking to who you think you are. But other than that, no real benefit.
We agree. When we first joined we went through a period when we were questioned all the time about our pics. We were accused by some as being fakes. We we're approached by a important member here and a few of his friends to provide proof. So with no hesitation we gave them a pic of what they wanted and we were verified. It's just the thought that you sorta know who you are speaking too. That they might be who they say they are and you feel more at ease. And then some members could care less who they are chatting with. It's just your personal opinion.
I don't get how writing your name on paper , or yourself verifies who you are .... anyone can write a username on paper /body. All it does is verify that you are human and depending what else is shown in the picture that you are indeed male or female. It doesn't prove its really you surely? Or am I missing something?
In my opinion, the only way that really proves it is if they tell you what to write and you take a pic of it within like 20 minutes that includes things from other pics of yours. Having as much time as you want after knowing what you need to write seems way too easy to fake, but that's just my opinion.
You are correct. It does only make the man or woman on the other end of that pic a human. But at least you know it's a real person. Not stolen pics or internet pics. We are not asking members to provide their real names, addresses, or city they live in. Just to prove they are not fake. When a member can provide a verification pic in a requested time frame is all we ask. Now unless that member hunts down the porn model who's pics they have stolen and writes all over them and takes a pic. It's pretty safe to say the member is real and pics are real.
@Ronglass
What do you mean? People don't (usually) use their full real names on here... It would prove that you're posting pics of yourself, isn't that what this is about?
I was playing ' devils advocate ' to a point. Yes it would prove they are pictures of yourself. I asked if I was missing something and clearly I was missing the obvious
I shake my head more aggressively when I see that there are 7 or 8 numbnuts that vote [HOT]!
OI!
Looks like some guys can't think when they have their cock in Hand
And interestingly it's often the same pic over and over again
WTF! I do understand that some folks are clicking on the pic because the thinks it's amusing but I'm still having difficulty in understanding that at least 7 members voted that Photoshop'd mess as [HOT].
Hey guys, use your points on the REAL pictures!
