Flickr just nuked deleteme uncensored. A group with a long tradition on Flickr with over 5,000 posts and 3,000 members all gone, instantly. Flickr objected to discussions in the group which they said violated Flickr’s TOS.
This was done without warning.
Rather than delete a single offending thread or offer any type of alternative arrangement flickr simply nuked the group.
It is clear to me now that an uncensored internet discussion forum is not possible on Flickr. In light of Flickr’s decision to nuke DMU I’ve set up (for now) a temporary arrangement where the game can still be played here.
This new group will have no forum associated with it. Instead the forum has been moved to FriendFeed, a site much more open to free speech. I would encourage any of the DMU members to join the new group on FriendFeed here where we can discuss what went down more specifically.
FriendFeed’s forum structure is a bit different (but very similar) to Flickr’s.
TH, I don’t think the Friendfeed idea will work.
I have no problem with an uncensored place that gets nuked by the flickr powers every six months. Please go back to DMU and start it again for real as if nothing happened. The Lightbox is intact.
andertho is correct
(did i just say that?)
Pretty sure there was a warning.
I’m with andertho, for two reasons: (1) what andertho said- it doesn’t matter if its nuked every couple months (2) it’ll keep everything together (on flickr*)
*by Yahoo!
Amazing. They have zero sense of responsibility. Zero sense of loyalty to their customers. I would not be surprised if Flickr started deleting the accounts of people who contributed to DMU, saying that contributing to that group was a violation of the ToS.
TH- I agree with Andertho; the FF thing will not work.
Is it possible to move this to Zooomr? Please say Yes.
I’m putting my two cents in.. Also agree to just start another DMU on flickr unless they say they’re just going to delete it.
This is really beginning to suck. I’m seriously considering leaving Flickr and moving all my photos to somewhere else or going back to hosting my own stuff.
Well my work here is done, have a nice life, see you all real soon 🙂
So I just had an email from flickr saying the group was deleted internally, meaning one of the admins did it.
ah quit with the bullshit Andy, you nuked the group just admit it….fucking coward….
I would love if we could use an external site to host the group, but the fact that we always post flickr related stuff (links, photos, comments, invite people, etc) makes it impossible to do it in some other place..
I agree with andertho, we should have the group back to flickr, this time with a contingency plan.. maybe a mirror group, where we are all suscribed at the same time we are in the new DMU, if they nuke the active one, we just go to the next one, laughing on Flickr’s faces
TH … restarting the group is a far better way to stick it in Heather’s eye than letting her win.
Put the admins back up on the new DMU real estate you created and open up the forum. This isn’t about any one of us and people want their home back.
If you don’t want to admin it, I can understand that, but I think the majority want to sweep up the ashes and get on with it.
I’m curious as to what was being discussed that “broke the rules”?
It’s nonsense really. Just an excuse Flickr used to nuke something they’ve wanted to nuke for a long time. Probably since the day the group was created.
Our buddy James just created the conditions needed to launch the warhead.
Neither of them will be allowed to win.
you didn’t get warning dumbasses because one of the admin, I can only assume Thomas Cock, nuked the group. You people are suckers if you think otherwise.
You’re a fool for thinking anyone would believe that crap.
Which is exactly why he did it….
This is not just hoping for the best. Flickr will keep disturbing communities. As communities are what drives flickr, I wonder where this flickr thing will end, if they keep playing like this.
who really gives a shit ? Its a fad, just like Myspace and Facebook, it will die along with Thomas Hawks’ 15 mins of fame….
Its absolutely hilarious that you are all whining about it though…what the fuck did you people expect ? I was a shit group full of shitty people, who did nothing but be shitty to anyone that wasn’t in their little clic.
Why not just go to Zooomr instead and stick it to Flickr?

Could it be that people really don’t give a shit what Thomas Cock thinks about anything. That the only people who suport you are your own set of personal cheerleaders ?

James, an internet mob is the *last* thing I’d ever want to happen. I already told you that I hate internet mobs. The problem is though that you never know when a post might resonate and people might take it upon themselves and then you lose control of a situation. A warning of possible outcome before choosing to write it seemed like fair play.
I never wanted to incite an internet mob on you. I wouldn’t want to do that to anyone. I simply wanted to associate the words that you use with the first page search results for your name so that those who might look into you in the future would see that you think it’s appropriate to threaten people with violence. The things that you are proud of. That’s all. Google has a long memory — far, far, longer than we’ll be discussing this in DMU. Mission accomplished. We can move on now.
Where’s that class action lawsuit you had coming?

Oh thats not the big man talk you had going yesterday….I thought you were going to ruin my life for years to come. Come to find out, nobody really give a shit. Eat your humble pie and shut the fuck up Andy, nobody really gives a fuck what you have to say, or about your bullshit stance against whoever is bugging you at the moment.
let see how did that go again yesterday ?
I want you to be very clear about what is possible to go down when I write this blog post because internet mobs are frequently not easy to control. I’ve had experience with more than one and I fucking hate them. When they are out frequently they are out. All the I’m sorry’s I fucked up in the world after the fact frequently can’t fix them. That’s why I’m taking my time to be very careful about how this thing might go down and why I feel that I owe you a pretty detailed explanation ahead of time for what it might look like.
” When I blog my post with your name in the headline, within 60 minutes or so it will be on the first page Google search results for your name. It will stay there for many years. Your name will be associated with someone who makes death threats on the internet and someone who wrote about potentially mugging me.
This will piss people off. I’m a pretty reasonable guy and well liked generally speaking by most people who follow my blog. In addition to my blog the post will go out to the 20,000 or so people combined who follow my Twitter/Friendfeed threads. It will be a sensationalistic juicy blog post and as such it will generate alot of attention.
I’m not sure where it will go. Simon Blint (mentioned above) moved out of his house for a while because he was petrified after getting death threats himself and people having figured out his home address and began publishing it on line.
I know you’re a big tough guy who doesn’t care about these sorts of things but I fucking don’t like being threatened and I’m never one to just sit down and fucking let it go when some fucking internet bully like you is threatening me.
So that’s where we are at. Consider yourself duly warned. ”
No no I believe its was 20,0000 + people you were trying to get to “make my life a living hell for years to come ”

Notice that the operative words in the post above are “possible” and “might”. Also notice that I say I don’t know where the post will go. Notice I also said that I hate internet mobs. I simply thought it was fair to warn you about a possible outcome, prior to publishing the post. It seemed like the decent and fair thing to do. I don’t like being in a position (as I’ve been in in the past) when a critical posts spirals out of control.
I have no interest in making your life a living hell. I simply wanted to associate the words that you chose to use to threaten people with violence with your Google search results. That’s all. The post is largely simply your own words being quoted. You seem proud of those words and seem willing to stand by them, and as such have no problem with them being associated with you as a person publicly. Now they are just a bit more public going forward in the future is all.
No biggie James for you I’m sure.

Ok James, warning you about a possible outcome seemed like a responsible thing to do given the situation. I’m really, really glad actually that this post will not go viral and will hopefully be quickly forgotten soon. I honestly don’t like dealing with internet mobs and would prefer to avoid them.
The warning was simply that nothing more.
My intention was simply to associate your name with the words that you are proud of. I’m sure most people think that your threats of violence are perfectly reasonable and that as you say, in the long run this will only help you not hurt you, you’ll get more Facebook friends (as you already have) you’ll maybe get more “professional” photography work out of it, etc.

never intended as a threat at all James, I’d have felt bad though if things got out of control and if they did I could at least say you were warned. I seriously *hate* internet mobs. Some of my most unhappy times online have been when I’ve had to deal with them. Quite honestly. No threat intended in there at all. You are misreading things.
As you say, you generated three new facebook friends and probably tons of other great opportunities in the future over a post like this. Congrats. I on the other hand accomplished what I wanted, associating your name with words that you are proud of that I objected to. It’s a win win situation James.

You may see it that way, I do not. I don’t like being threatened with violence James. It was inappropriate for you to bring me into your little pissing match with others. I’d never done anything to you. I’m not concerned about any tarnish that this blog post might have on my “professional integrity.” I feel that calling someone out on inappropriate threats of violence is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. I stand by my words as you stand by yours.
Since we are both happy about the post at this point it seems pointless to even discuss it.

Vikings rape, pillage, and plunder. Most, if not all of these activities are illegal or at least legally frowned upon. So Vikings pictures are likely of these activites, so he keeps them out of sight.

You might not have noticed but personally I don’t tend to take the same tone with people. If you bother to read some of my emails that I’ve sent to people when they are attacked for not following the rules they are nothing but polite. Here’s one I sent someone yesterday. I’ve routinely called for politeness in the group over time.
I hope you can understand where it might feel not so good to have someone claim to have stalked you and almost mugged you when you really had never had any interaction with them at all, had never offended them, and had no beef with them.

And Thomas, if you didn’t read it before, I really did used to respect you. When I was starting out in still photography I used to read your blog quite a bit. This group, which you invited me to in case you were unaware, not only turned me off to you, but to flickr, and the online photog community altogether. This is why I don’t buy into your fake brotherhood of flickr photogs, because bottom line, a website is nothing more than a business card, and these communities you support are exactly whats killing the industry so seem to think you care so deeply for.
Its actually sad that people can’t be decent to one another or post valid points on here, in the hopes of genuine debate without the fear of being ridiculed, or some jackass coming along with a school house mentality.
The one and only reason I keep coming back to this group is that I paid for two years membership, and I intend on getting my moneys worth. This group is pointless Thom, its sad that you think it has any merritt at all. This group contradicted every thing I understood you to be, a supportive fellow photographer who is genuinely interested in helping other photographers learn and grow in this profession. But now I see you for exactly what you are, its a pity really.

I feel that generally speaking I have been decent to the people in this group. I know that I’ve engaged in literally hundreds of conversations here that were genuine debate. I hadn’t ridiculed you. The groups not for everyone though. That’s probably what it said in your invitation. It may be pointless to you but it’s not pointless to other people.

TH is usually polite in most cases, however, i understood the group was more about tolerance than politeness. Polite is for utata. Harmless blowing off steam is for dmu.

I’ve actually come around to this point of view myself – and mainly because of the controversy with SJ’s approach to the Whitehouse photostream. At first I thought SJ stepped WAY over the line with his protest on that stream. TH & SJ’s point of view convinced me that it was just a place to distribute whitehouse propeganda and so I came to the conclusion that a photostream was not so special or precious anymore than any other media distribution place. Flickr is just big media reinvented as social networking to get us all more engaged with propaganda of government and large companies like Starbucks.
I think the whitehouse should distribute its photos on all the US photosharing sites – zoomr, smugmug, picassa etc.

You should have said Hello James. Things might have gone down differently between us. I’m always up for meeting new photographers.
The explanation is simple. You claimed to be watching me when I was unaware of it and you told me that I came very close to being mugged by you. That’s not a comfortable thing to hear someone say about you James. Especially, again, when I’d been nothing but interact politely with you personally in the past. I don’t remember voting on any of your images in the pool specifically, but I will tell you that if I did it was a polite vote one way or the other because all of my votes always are.

Thomas Hawk says:
The group is about tolerance. But at the same time those that know me and my history in this group have probably heard me say many times that just because you can say something doesn’t always mean you should say something.
I’ve stressed responsibility for one’s words many times in the past. The fact that some do not always behave responsibly though is a necessary evil in a way to exist in an entirely uncensored environment. Something that I value as everybody’s line as to what ought to be tolerated and what ought not to be tolerated is different. By tolerating it all you avoid that problem.
But again, an uncensored group is not for everyone. Especially those whose tolerance levels can’t take it.
But me personally, I’m generally speaking courteous and polite with people. Sometimes I’ll get angry and probably say things that are not so polite, but usually only when provoked.

I’m not really doing anything with it right now James. Initially I’d hoped that it could be a marketplace for stock photography with the bulk of all sales going to the photographer. I thought it would be a good tool for photographers to have to compete more independently against the Getty Images of the world.
Kristopher Tate who developed the site and I fell out of sync with regards to the the vision of the site. He wanted to turn it more into a Twitter clone sort of thing for Japan and left the U.S. We rarely interact anymore and it’s mostly just on autopilot at this point unless Kristopher decides to do something more significant with it. I can’t code so the balls really in his court in that regard.
Zooomr has been a disappointment for me because I believed firmly in the idea I’d originally had (and which was shared at one point by Kristopher) for the company and product.
I’m disappointed in the current version of Flickr James and aware of its state and condition relative to Flickr.
Hunk is just a troll Sherpherd. Don’t worry about him. He’s funny sometimes.

Tommy you seem to miss the point that nothing happened to you, as unsettling as my comments my be, I never acted on them. That should tell you that at least I have some moral standards. But now we have gotten beyond that haven’t we ?
Yes it is sad, its sad that I was so full of anger that I couldn’t think of anything more than watching you swallow your teeth. But I doubt things would have gone any different, the fact is you sat and watched while someone YOU invited to this group was verbally abused, and why ? Because I didn’t follow your precious rules, so much for this tolerance everyone is talking about ….. and for the record I think you chimed in a time or two… but you were always watching and I’m sure it provided you with some good laughs. What puzzles me is your inability to understand how this could come back to bite you in the ass.
I never sought out this group at all, I was happy in my own flickr world until this group crossed my path. It was this group that turned me off to flickr and to you. You and your group ruined a prefectly supportive photographer who never had one qualm about sharing my photography with others, and lend what support I could to them on their paths to becoming a better photographer. I am nothing but a product of this group Andrew, do you like what you see and hear ?

That’s my recollections based on threads in the old DMU and what I remember Chalk telling me. It was a long time ago though. You’re not allowed to use Flickr to threaten people physically. Vinny threatened to kill Chalk and from what I remember was reported over it and Flickr nuked Vinny’s account. You’d probably have to get more from Chalk on that directly as I think the threads where most of this was talked about in the old DMU are long gone at this point.

Actually James I don’t think I did. Usually when I’m aware of a problem with someone breaking the rules I send them a polite email like the one linked to in my earlier post.
I can’t and don’t keep up with every thread. I missed the whole part about you coming close to mugging me for instance when you said it the first time or I would have said something about it then.
Frequently I skim threads or skip some threads entirely. I (and I suspect most people in this group) do not have the time to actively follow every single thread. Had I been aware of your voting problem in the group I likely would have sent you an email (if I had time) as I’ve done for many others in this group when they don’t get the rules of the game initially.
If you think I “chimed in” abusing you please point me to those posts. Nothing of mine in this group has ever been deleted and I’d be happy to talk about them. Sometimes I’ll post an image or some other sort of nonsensical thing into a thread just because, but even if I did that I don’t think anything was every directed at you personally or directly. I didn’t even realize who you were or the backstory behind your problems in this group before yesterday.
I’ve certainly never sat around gloating watching other people abuse you.
Also and again. This group is not *my* group. The fact that I admin doesn’t make it mine. It’s not Posey’s or Wendy’s or Pierre’s either. I’ve always believed and maintained that the group belongs to all of the members.

Right James, but that’s a lot different than threatening someone with physical violence. You crossed a line. You have to put up with some of that in an uncensored world. But again. It seemed to me that suggesting that you almost mugged me simply for admining a forum went too far. I hope you can see that.
And see again, people “butting in” really isn’t about me. That’s a beef between you and them. Not you and me.

And no doubt also from DM where the dispute would have erupted. Just don’t ever forget that there are more DM threads preserved than there are original DMU threads preserved so you haven’t won the high ground in the “censored vs uncensored” game YET. Escalating this silly Viking guy’s gripe by taking it so personal and to your blog really raises the stakes and changes some of the unwritten rules (norms?),. Don’t think this group can’t go in the same direction as dmu original if you make too much of these insults. A vikingdude comes around every few months when there is a dispute over hostile photo voting. James is definately more hostile but he doesn’t stay around long. Big deal.

I don’t agree that threats of violence are ever appropriate James. People certainly have had their accounts deleted on Flickr in the past when reported over it as Posey mentioned earlier. It’s not allowed on Flickr but ethically it’s also something I’m against personally.
But even assuming violence were an appropriate response, *I* never had any beef with you. Point me to these threads where you say I “chimed in” insulting you from before. Point me to comments that I’ve made on your photos insulting you.

Where have I said you can’t speak your mind? Have I censored you here? No. Have I banned you? No. I could do both of those things. I won’t do either.
But it doesn’t mean that I won’t object morally to speech that you say. I frequently object to words people say. The Klan says things I find deplorable all the time and I fully support their rights to say whatever it is that they wish. I also fully support my right to object to what they’ve said and call them on it when I feel that they say something inappropriate, as I felt you did.
James, can you see how I might feel being presented with speech by someone who has claimed to stalked me and almost mugged me when I had no beef with him and am generally nothing but polite in this forum to others?

No, lots of things get my attention. The fact that I missed some thread from way back whenever doesn’t mean that at all. In fact a simple flickr mail generally gets my attention just fine if I’m not staying on top of 100% of the conversations in this group (which I definitely do not).

in your crusade against flickr censorship you have clearly turned a blind eye of what you are creating with groups like this, and why censorship, might actually be a good idea. Its groups like this that are a complete and utter contradiction to what flickr is supposed to be.
But I honestly think the only reason you ever had beef with flickr to boast your own answer to a photography social network i.e. Zooomr

But it did say he lives in Texas, and I did find someone with an alias, and two listed birthdays, on saying his 31, the other 33. We can not be sure this is the same James, but it does seem like a good match.

Deleting a whole group for the actions of one or two people is more than ridiculous. Yahoo/Flickr has no idea what community means, and they don’t seem to care.
Damn fine reason to delete the group. It is apparent that everybody involved has lied about being over 5.
Well, I didn’t contribute to the DMU, but I watched what was going on and had some great entertainment.
Hope you’ll create somewhere even better to go. LOVE the controversy. Much more interesting than watching TV.
No threats of violence should ever be tolerated – but sometimes silence is the best way to deal with it!
Zzzzzzzz……
TH … let me know how you feel about The Lightbox. Do you plan to vote photos into it going forward? Do you want it closed?
If you are amenable we plan to continue using it.
theresa… I guess I got more than I bargained for on that request LOL… thanks for posting all of that “history”… WOW!
Having been in a group on the victim end of a DMU raiding party that was just about having a good time, I really pity flickr for the chaos a seriously pissed off DMU is likely to create.
When I came across this (another user’s work deleted elsewhere), I thought of you (and others), Thomas.
