or at least re-think the limits of gallery postings? it is getting a bit obnoxious and though the posts themselves do not violate the TOS, it is making the galleries quite a chore on a daily basis. i can tolerate a day or two if someone is just merely trying to fluff out or start a gallery, but from day to day, having to sift through endless images from the same artist is becoming far too tedious.

I have to agree. Scrolling through 50-150 images a day from one person is a bit tedious. If they are trying to prove a point, consider it done and get some kind of reasonable limit applied.

Seriously, I think 65 images in one day pretty much meets the spam threshold. And it's another slap in the face for everyone that paid loyally every month to have the extra few images available with Gallery Plus.

if bws adds gallery button to "block artist", then it won't matter how many they post, other than cloud costs for storage.

Another vote here for limiting gallery postings. It used to be 10 per day for Prime members. I just don't see the reason for unlimited postings. What swjkie100 doesn't seem to understand is that s/he has probably alienated most gallery viewers thus having the opposite effect of what s/he was probably after in the first place.

10? a day? really?? even that seems a bit much to me, but as most things in life are comparative, i'll even vote for ten at this point.
my concern isn't whether this person is alienating themselves, but rather i fear folks are going to tire rather quickly of the 'swjkie100 Show' and just feel utterly alienated by the site on the heels of what, for some, was already a huge adjustment regarding the site update, and simply leave. that would be an utter shame, imo.

A vote for both limits and block button. BTW, whatever happened to the nudity thumbnail and warning enforcement? There seems to be a proliferation of inappropriate thumbnails since the changes and the warning labels are completely non-existent.

Wow, that is a lot of images by one person... I fail to see how unlimited uploads could possibly encourage artists to put some time, thought and selectiveness into their work... things that are important to an artist's development. And the site as a whole needs to keep that balance between being open to artists of any level and at the same time encouraging quality.
10 images a day would be more than enough... Do we really want to see more from the same artist in one day? In my view, browsing the galleries should be a pleasant experience that draws people to the site.
I would make an exception for MarkusVogt though. He can post as many images as he wants as far as I am concerned. ;) In fact, I would settle for a script that simply reposts a MarkusVogt image as soon as someone posts more than one image per day... hehehehehe :P

hbo, they mentioned in announcement that they were changing nudity thumbnail handling. you gotta block nudie pix in yer settings.

Gotta agree strongly. One of the main purposes of the gallery is for merchants to showcase their products. If some.... uh... "individual"... is posting 50 images a day (How is that even possible? Where does this person find the time for this? Do they have like, no life or something?), then these promos get drowned out. 10 a day seems most reasonable-- it's more than enough for vendors to showcase extra promos of their products, and I can't fathom anyone releasing/making more than one product per day.

I totally agree, scrolling to 50 , 60 or more Images of one person is a bit over the top. Whoever designed the Gallery, or the whole new Site Design must have their head examined.
