moderate photos randomly changing to safe

view profile

morbidthoughts  Pro User  says:

Many of my photos that I have set by default moderate is now showing up as safe. (I didn't change it)

I believe they might be ones that were affected by the "hide from public search" uploader bug.

I've had to go in and batch edit the photos to reset their safety level back to moderate. What's going on?

I've seen someone else report this, as well, although it was quite a while ago.

You can easily check the safety filter level of all your photos in Organizr (and make batch changes there, too). Open up Organizr. On the lower left hand side, right above the findr bar, there's a link for "more options." Clicking on that will let you sort your photos by safe, moderate or restricted. Search for all the safe photos, and then you can batch change any of those that shouldn't be safe to whatever filter level is appropriate.

Judging from the spike in views, I believe the random change in safety status on the pictures happened on May 12.

woah I just went into Organizr and set it to "show only safe content" and almost ALL my restricted photos are showing up! Does this mean a flag was switched? My default upload level is restricted!

morbidthoughts, the issue where the uploadr was defaulting to "hide from public search" shouldn't affect your moderation settings in any way.

Canadian Elligirl, can you check again, i was not able to replicate that in my stream.

Zack, I spent half an hour yesterday re-tagging all my photos to restricted. Now they're showing up properly in Organizr. I made a post about it on my own blog to warn folks, and one other fellow said he checked and noticed the same thing happened to his account. Is this just a random Flickr hiccup?

Weird... I had reset an entire set to moderate. I changed some to safe individually but now the entire set is set to how it was originally before all of this started.
