This is a trial offer, I'll see how it goes, and may change my mind later.

If you post a photo of you with a hand written sign saying LPSG.ORG and, optionally, your username, I will give you a free Gold Membership. The Gold Membership will last as long as you leave the photo in the gallery, even if I change my mind and don't offer this anymore.

No way, are you serious? THat can be photoshopped in. I say A vidoe with LPSG on it. Most if not all webcoms, and digital cams can record a few second of video. That is how I'll prove it, that is how it should be done.

It pisses me off two when people use fake pics. It's silly really, whilst they do get the attention of people who think they're someone else, they miss out on chatting to the people who'd want to talk to them if they saw what they really looked like!

I've added my pic, altho getting the sign in shot without the page reflecting the light was a right bugger!

Thanks Pecker and Alex. Yeah, I'm a graphic designer, so I can't just write on a bit of paper, I have to at least do shadowed bubble text!

Hey Rob, many thanks for offering the Gold Membership inducement for having validated pics. I've been banging on about this for years and suggesting that guys hold a piece of paper in the shot with their nickname on it. I'd take it one stage further, if anyone posts a fake or stolen pic claiming it's them and they get found out, they should be banned from the group. Nobody is forced to post a pic so if you don't have one of yourself don't post one of someone else and pretend it's you.

I know the piece of paper idea won't stop the determined faker but it will help reduce the incidence of image theft - both to the site and from the site. Many members have refused to post their pics here because they don't want them used by others all over the net.

We've had, and still have, major problems here with guys stealing images and 'adopting' them. At one stage one of our long-standing and most legitimate members had his photos being used by at least 3 other members of this group at the same time. I have no problem with people posting images they would like others to see...just don't claim them as their own. Maybe we should have a gallery for random big cock pics or vids.

We've also had the credibility of very valued members, and Pappy comes to mind, whose photos were taken down by the owners because so many people were accusing them of faking or stealing. Anything that helps to connect pics with their legitimate owners should be welcomed.

One other thing that the fakers forget is that this a site stuffed full of big cock experts. If they post a pic of someone else then someone here will probably know where it came from and who the rightful owner is. Those people need to be outed. I called someone this week and to his credit he took the stolen video down.

BTW Rob thanx for doing a great job. It's not an easy task taking over from someone else and there'll always be inertia from people who hate change. I think that to expect you to instinctively know what we all want from the site is expecting a little too much so soon after you took over. I'd rather see some of the criticism being a little more constructive.

cheers

You can now see my verified picture at:
http://www.lpsg.org/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/5491

I wasn't sure about posting any pictures of myself, since, as I said on another thread, I don't need the attention - been there, done that on ratemyschlong.com.

However, I think that LittleKitten's suggestion about validated pictures was a very good idea. Furthermore, I feel that by posting a verified picture of myself:
1- other posters can visually verify that I am what I claim to be (more or less)
2- it gives them a better idea of who I am (I remember Alex8's comments that a relatively empty profile such as mine could be boring, so I hope I fixed that for ya, Alex...:wink: ). For instance, although I haven't listed my age in my profile, you can get an idea from the picture.
3- Although I don't visit the gallery often, I don't mind getting a Gold Membership for free (thanks Rob E for the offer!)
