What's up with the flood in the galleries by individual posters? It's like every week these days. Ain't there limits or sumthin'?


CHMedia ( ) posted Mon, 25 February 2019 at 10:01 AM

I am responding to let you know that we are aware that this is happening, and it is under review.


Madbat ( ) posted Mon, 25 February 2019 at 7:04 PM

Yes, can you PLEASE put limits on uploads, not just review and ignore like you always do. I pretty much quit looking for new stuff in the galleries because of having to wade through all the spammed crap. Have a look at today for a really good example. There's some good artwork in those pages of crap that will now never be seen because they're lost in tlot1986's avalanche of garbage.


CHMedia ( ) posted Mon, 25 February 2019 at 11:24 PM

We will not allow excessive postings to continue, and we apologize for any frustration our review process has caused.

I do see evidence of gallery flooding. What kind of limits might be applied? 😐


Miss B ( ) posted Wed, 27 February 2019 at 6:19 PM

I haven't uploaded more than a couple in one day recently, but back in 2017, when I realized I had a lot of renders I hadn't posted in the previous 5 years, I wasn't allowed to upload more than 5 a day, IIRC. Whether that's still in effect, I'm not sure, because now I make sure to be current with uploading renders.

If that option is still in effect, maybe changing it to only 2 per day may be the way to go.

Personally, I think 5 is a good limit. what I was getting at was people uploading pages and pages of images. That's a bit much.


Torquinox ( ) posted Wed, 27 February 2019 at 8:42 PM

Madbat's right. I saw walls of uploads from the same person.

Ohhhh, IOW, they do 5-a-day, but then do it day after day for weeks on end? Yeah, that would piss me off as well. Even when I was uploading a lot back in 2017, it was only for 3 or 4 days, and then I didn't upload anything for a while. I was just bringing my gallery "up-to-date" so to speak. I wasn't looking for a whole bunch of reward points. In fact, I'm not sure if the new Reward Points system was even in effect back then.

I think that's the main wrinkle Torquinox. Why else would they flood the galleries day after day?

If I remember correctly, there's supposed to be a 5 image limit for regular members and no limit for prime members, but it doesn't look like the lasted yahoo is prime.

Perhaps gallery posting limits have been removed.


Miss B ( ) posted Thu, 28 February 2019 at 9:01 PM

Checking to see if they were accidentally removed, would certainly be a good step in the right direction to see why this is happening.

I always thought there was a limit to five upload image a day unless you were prime member, when did that change?

He could be a prime member even without the little key icon, I remember I had to ask for it. Hopefully he just wanted to upload all his gallery here at once.



Miss B ( ) posted Fri, 01 March 2019 at 5:09 PM

Thirty images in one day? That's a bit overboard if you ask me, especially since he has to do it one-at-a-time. Ten per day would've been more appropriate if he is indeed a Prime member.

At 3 reward points per, the person earned the equivalent of 90 cents and a thread in the Community Center. Hardly worth the effort. 😆


RodS ( ) posted Sun, 17 March 2019 at 6:07 PM

This is something I've mentioned in the forum a number of times. I gave up since nothing seems to happen to curb it. I can deal with 5 - 6 a day, but the ones that post 30 images in one session? Or the ones that post 10 - 12 images that look like they were drawn by a 5-year-old? That's a little much... I'm sure many of them are farming for reward points. Maybe a system that adds rewards for the first 5 or so uploads in the same day, and none for any past that (even better take away points if they exceed 10 a day ?)? I'm not sure how difficult that would be to implement, but it might help to reduce the flooding. Just a thought..

Once again today, someone is flooding the gallery - 15 images so far... PLEASE! Can we set some reasonable limits on gallery uploads? Can we take some kind of action, rather than just post another boilerplate response that the issue is "under review?" 'Under review' is NOT working.

It's not only inconsiderate, but it's just plain RUDE to bury everyone else's art under an avalanche of images just so someone can get a handful of reward points. Please, please, please consider the 99.9% of your membership that don't engage in this blatantly rude activity, and set some reasonable limits for gallery uploads - even for Prime members (I am one).

Thanks!

Should be possible to enforce reasonable limits. As usual, a few spoil it for the many.

15 with no variations?! We got lucky. I post one a week and let that sink in...

SamTherapy ( ) posted Tue, 26 March 2019 at 5:32 PM

Even at my most prolific, I doubt I could upload more than 5 per day, assuming I'd had some lead time to work on 'em. Anyone uploading a huge amount of images must have either spent many months on 'em and stored them up, or be uploading complete tosh. 😁

I am a prime member. I only post maybe 1 or 2 images a week & Personally i don't usually mind people posting 4 or 5 images in a day or in a row. i enjoy looking at peoples creativity. . But lately the individual(s) that are farming for rewards points & posting 10 or more images in a row make it very hard for other artist to simply share their own art works ,Not to mention anyone seriously trying to sell their art work & photographs here have to wade through a sea of same type images. I am trying to not sound like sour grapes but it can be frustrating, if I could make a decision on how to solve this issue. I would limit image uploads to 1 image every 1 -2 hours, giving time between uploads. periods. that way the reward -farmers can still keep farming, but at a slower rate. not flooing the gallery all at one time. giving the rest of the people a chance to share their renders in the same hour time period. . just my 2 cents

While we encourage members to upload their artwork in the Renderosity Gallery and actively reward it, we became aware that this was being abused by several members.

Thus, keeping our members' interests in mind, we will be taking measures to ensure the Gallery is not spammed. At this point we do not wish to impose strict limitations but would rather deal with it on a case-by-case basis.

We hope this will ensure a more pleasant experience in viewing, participating and uploading to the Gallery.

Is this why I can not upload my art any more? It took me hours to try and re-try, just to be taken to a blank page. Now, since yesterday, I can't upload anything at all. Its the only trouble I have, no other pages misbehave. Its the only site I have problems with. I have tried multiple browsers, as well. Nothing. I only post one a day, maybe two if I'm really hot that day. :)

This is what I just encountered. My last post to my gallery was April 5th. I hardly produce volumes, but I always post to Renderosity first, because I like this place best. :-( Guess if I can't upload, then it has to go somewhere else... but I'm sad.

I will try again tomorrow, in case this is only temporary... although even an error message would be better than the blank page. I feel unpersoned ;-)

Well, I just saw at least 13 images - 90% of them just simple variations of the same image - uploaded by the same person. This is what we (or at least I) find annoying and just plain rude. Just to get reward points...

Why are there photographs allowed in the galleries, AT ALL? What does a photograph have to do with 3D art? There are 5,000,000 other sites to post photographs on. And, like, peoples travel photos? And cat photos? Can't you limit the images to 3D art?



Torquinox ( ) posted Sat, 20 April 2019 at 8:16 PM · edited Sat, 20 April 2019 at 8:17 PM

People use photos as backgrounds for rendering and the site allows people to sell use licenses for their work. Plus, why tell @dbwalton he's not welcome? Cat photos are eternal, apparently.

This isn't just a 3d site. There are 2d galleries, Photoshop, Paintshop pro, gimp, writers, and mixed media as well as photography. Taken from the about page "The Renderosity community is made up of members who have a passion for helping others learn, share and grow in digital art." since most cameras are digital these days, I think they would qualify.

This is not a strictly 3d site, it's for art in general including photography. An example of other art being posted here: Over the years a number of people have posted scans and/or photos of their paintings, drawings and other conventional art.

I have nothing against photos - I'm a photographer myself (and frequently use photos as backgrounds). Photography is an artform. It's just when someone floods the gallery with 15 - 30+ images (no matter how they were created) that have only minor variations, it just seems like all they are doing is farming for reward points. And burying the rest of us that upload one or two images a week. All it takes is a little consideration for our fellow artists. Simple.
