Title: love / hate opt in / opt out delete/ no delete
Post by: willie on March 23, 2010, 08:59
no one site is perfect. but we can all make wish lists to see that site becomes your ideal site and perfect site.

what changes would you wish  most for that certain site?

i start ..

Site 4 - i wish to see an opt in / opt out for subs
Site 7 - i wish to see a delete/disable image option
Site 2 - i wish to see exclusive image option for those who cannot choose exclusive contributor at this time ( I think you all know which one for this).
Site x - i wish no more new sites appear as they really do nothing but approve all (or reject most ) images , promise bigger commissions and sell nada (or close shop after two years, and /or restart another one under a diff monicker).

the names of the site have been withheld to protect the guilty :)

p.s.
i wanted to make a poll but this old senile senior citizen does not know how.
perharps someone else will do it for me, and i will gladly delete this thread.

If golden fish gives me one wish I would like to see arbitrary sorting of results gone. Best match, relevance, whatever it's called is based on some artificial logic owner of the site invented. Nobody knows what is in this "secret sauce". Maybe you need to write nice comments on a forum to get highest ranks in search results. IMHO search results should be sortable by any meta data and statistics. If somebody wants to sort by description or upload date, size, so be it. Number of downloads, views, months in collection, , go for it. I guess they also know who is downloading so maybe sorting by geo data: most popular in specific country,  large or small buyer.

golden fish , mela? is that something like the magic genie?

i can see that the silence is defeaning. all believing that even making a wish list is an act of futility.
shame. to be silenced and be a fawn. amazing what "talented professions" will do to for a handful of pennies  ;)

EDITED

hmm, that's a thought worth investigating.
maybe i am wasting my time writing threads here when i can placate to the sites writing blogs there
to improve my ranking in search .

i really must try that.  thx mela for the idea. you may have just found the secret formula .
