Re: how to handle in-appropriate image uploads
I've worked at a company where we had personals sites, like match.com or something, a few million users. We spent a lot of time creating a user content review system, meaning, anything that goes up has to be looked at by the company filters (in our case, a handful of girls) before other users on the site could see the content. In addition, there were "report this" links in key places. As far as reviewing images, I think it would have been successful to reverse the process, allow images to go up but have a tool that surveys many images at once and is able to yank them down with a single click. This way would make it a lot less stressful for you, just make sure you mark what has and has not been 'reviewed'. Also, with users reporting images, flag the image after 1 report for you to review, but yank it after 2 or 3. If you wanted to go a lot further, you could rank your users' experience level and allow some users to cast more weight to a vote, while new users could only have 1 point to vote against an image, an experienced user could cast 5 points (a simple algorithm could be the number of months since sign up). At a certain number of points, the image is flagged for review, then at another threshold, it is removed permanently. Also, with text, there are likely words or phrases you may not want your users to type, such as bad language or competitor's sites. You can put some validation on the user's side for obvious things (like the F word), but be leinient for cases like"assassin", "shitzu puppies" or "pussycat" (sorry for the near-swearing cf-talk!) Then, on the admin side, you could aggregate a lot of user's data in a tool and highlight questionable phrases, maybe with different colors to note the severity of a potential issue. This is a perfect use case for regular expressions and backreferencing. nathan strutz [Blog and Family @ http://www.dopefly.com/] [AZCFUG Manager @ http://www.azcfug.org/] On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 9:32 AM, Chad Gray wrote: > > Hello, > > How do big web sites like myspace police image uploads? > > It seems like they let users report abuse then take action.

Re: how to handle in-appropriate image uploads
Check what myspace is using. It's pretty good at determining offensive images.

Computers can not tell much about images yet, though they are beginning to get better. I've been thinking I might play with some of the face recognition stuff I've heard about recent when I have some free time.
