Ok, after much thought and soul searching on our part, along with a poll to ask our Existing Silver level Profile Holders what they thought, we’ve decided to relax our Main Photo Requirements for Silver Level Membership a bit. This is effective immediately.
Instead of requiring a Full Length Main Photo for you to have a Silver Level Membership, we are relaxing the requirement to require a Waist Length Main Photo. Keep in mind, if you Provide a Face Shot only or a Body Shot only for your Main Profile Pic you can still have a Bronze Level Membership, you’ll just have less features available to you.
To see a list of what Membership Level gets you what Features, have a look at our Compare Membership Matrix.
This means that our New Main Photo Requirements are now as follows:
1. Your Photo must show your face
2. Your Photo must go to your waist
3. Your Photo must be clear enough to see who you are
4. Your Photo may only contain 1 person, unless you list as a Couple.
5. Your Photo must not be a Collage
6. Your Photo must be of You
7. Your Photo must not be Adult
The Photo Requirements Article has been updated to reflect this change.
That’s about it. As always, your other Profile Pics and Gallery Pics do not need to meet the above requirements, with the exception that they cannot be adult either.
We arrived at this decision, partly because of the Poll Results and partly because we understand that some people just don’t have a camera available that can take a picture that’s both Clear and Full Length.
The Poll Results came out with 2/3 of you Voting to keep the Requirements as they were and 1/3 of you Voting to remove the Full Length Requirement altogether. We decided to do a little of both. We feel that Waist Length Photos will still give people a good idea of what you look like and not prevent people who would provide one, if they could, from achieving Silver Level Membership.
Hopefully this will cut down on the complaints we receive from people who’ve tried to get a Clear Full Length pic but haven’t been able to. Now they’ll also be eligible for Silver Level Membership and gain access to additional Features on URNA.
