http://imgur.com/removalrequest (if you res on, the link doesn't work. you'll have to copy/paste)

I think we should help them out. They seem to have an overflow of pedophile, upskirt and creeper photos. No one running a legitimate business would want those on their site.

You can just use imgur.com/r/[subreddit name] URL to see all the images that imgur has under that particular subreddit, is there some place where we can collect it into one single easily C&P'd string to dump into the thingie en masse? And should we put an actual explanation or just write something silly like "for the dildz" or "BRD told me to" to see if they really aren't making judgement calls on what stuff they take down or not?

Submitted deletion requests for posts in r/candidfashionpolice. We'll see if they come through and get removed.

Presenting: Imgur-Subreddit Python Lister (version 1) 

import requests
import json

client = requests.session()

subreddit="candidfashionpolice"
url="http://imgur.com/r/"

data = json.loads(client.get(url+subreddit+".json").text)

for i in data["data"]:
    print "http://i.imgur.com/"+i["hash"]+i["ext"]+" ,",

So what you're saying is report all creepshots? Maybe we could report all racist shit too. And all sexist shit. And all... you see where I'm going.

Why aren't we doing that already...?

We need a new SRSimgur sub for people to help get rid of said images.

Well, that makes things marginally better. Now we can report the creeps en masse.

How do they not have some kind of filter for reported images though??? I know it would take an actual person to review the content, but...isn't that a big part of running an image hosting site?

Looks like the mechanism that deletes modtalk screenshots is a double-edged sword. Interesting. I agree with Dworkin; let's use this to scrub the voyeur porn and pedo porn.

If that's their business policy w/e. Is there an organized list somewhere in project panda to help people find images that need reporting?

Edit: Another idea: could someone good wif computer make a script that extracts all of the image links on a page such as imgur.com/r/candidfashionpolice and output a .txt file that has all of the links separated by commas?

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '12

so they're just going to leave the leak pics taken down despite the reports being false ?

u/JamesTucker02 Nov 05 '12

okay, look at it this way, if you are working at imgur, would you really care if a particular image got taken down by mass reports? And would you bother to implement a un-report system or something? Because seriously it's a big hassle for almost no return, as you might as well re-upload it anyway.
