Why does my media have a purple banner under it?

The purple banner under a media upload is an A.I. indicator. Some members use artificial intelligence platforms to generate unique media files. These uploads are different from bate-fuel, copyrighted material and otherwise “found” content. If the Content Review guys believe that a piece of media has been A.I. generated, they may mark it as such to let everyone know that the media is in compliance with BateWorld Terms of Service.

 

If you have had a photo or video tagged as AI generated or manipulated by mistake, please get in touch with Support.

Is A.I. generated media okay on BateWorld?

While we really appreciate your original media and your handmade penis art, we are also okay with your experiments with A.I. interfaces as long as they comply with existing T.O.S. guidelines.

Please let us know that the media is A.I. generated by checking the box next to This media was generated or manipulated using artificial intelligence. This will help the Content Review guys in getting your stuff approved as soon as possible!

How Does BateWorld Handle Reports?

Like many sites featuring user-generated content, BateWorld relies on its members to help us spot when things aren’t quite right. Anyone on the site can report anything to us for a closer review with just a click of a button. 

Any place you find the flag icon ( ), or see the Report a Problem link, you’ll be able to open a short form that will allow you to flag media, comments, blog posts, or anything else you find on the site, that should be reviewed by the BateWorld team. In any situation that requires more information, we welcome quick screenshots of what you’re seeing to help us better understand the situation. You can upload these right from the report form. 

Every report submitted automatically opens a new helpdesk ticket, so that we can keep track of issues from start to finish. Reports are reviewed one at a time and an individual decision is made about what action comes next. Content which violates the TOS agreement or is not in line with the overall BateWorld Community Guidelines might be hidden or permanently deleted and the poster issued a warning. Repeat offenses will likely result in the poster being removed from the site entirely. We may reach out to you if we require additional information or details about an issue you’ve reported. 

We take each and every report seriously, and strive to provide an outcome in the best interest of all members. We recognize too, that we don’t always get it right. If you continue to see TOS-violating content or users on the site, don’t hesitate to share another report. There is no algorithmic assistance or AI involved in our systems—real guys review each and every ticket received. Sometimes a second look is all it takes to spot a problem we missed the first time. 

If you are unsure about whether or not a comment or piece of content violates the TOS or Community Guidelines, the best thing you can do is to send it our way. BateWorld becomes a better, stronger, and safer community with each problem we’re able to address quickly. And we can’t do it without you. 

Why wasn’t my photo/video upload approved?

We want to make sure everything you want to show on BateWorld gets shared. The two primary reasons for a photo or video being rejected are:
The media contained more than one individual. In this case you’ll just need to let us know which BateWorld member appears along with you. Encourage them to sign up and get Verified if they’re not already. If they are already Verified, all you need to do is tag them. There are step by step instructions for tagging your buddies here in the FAQ. Just search for the term “tag.”

The media did not depict you. Found content can’t be uploaded to your galleries or groups, as it could violate copyrights, or the consent of individuals depicted. Let us see who you are, not just photos you found online.

Why can’t we just stop using MasterCard?

Many members have been asking, “If these new verification regulations are coming from MasterCard, why not just stop using MasterCard?” Trust us, if it were that simple, we would have asked everyone to find an alternative payment method a while ago.

The reality of the situation is a bit more complicated than one credit card company. MasterCard has only produced these compliance regulations and has left in the hands of payment processing companies to monitor and enforce them. Sites like BateWorld are tasked with keeping records for the processing companies.

In a nutshell, because the payment processors rely on MasterCard for a big chunk of their business, they are not willing to cut ties with them. Therefore, they have to monitor the sites that use them for payment processing. Unfortunately, it looks like other credit card companies and banks will be falling in step with MasterCard.

For years it’s been a challenge for websites who host adult content to find companies willing to process payments. SegPay and CCBill are two of the very few. They have made it clear that in order to continue operating, BateWorld has one choice – either start verifying users who upload and stream adult content, or close. We believe in free speech on the internet. We believe that adult spaces deserve to exist in the public domain. BateWorld has been and continues to be a place for sex positive community to grow. To survive and thrive, BateWorld has to comply with these new regulations.

Why aren’t photo and video uploads showing in my group?

As part of our commitment to keeping our users safer, and keeping BateWorld adult-friendly, new uploads need to be reviewed before they’re made live. We love seeing your photos and videos, so this usually happens quickly. But it can sometimes take between 24-48 hours.

Why aren’t my previous uploads showing in my group?

There are a few reasons why your previously uploaded media might not be showing up right now:

  • The media was “found content.” Photos or videos that don’t depict BateWorld users, or that have been found elsewhere online can’t be a part of your uploaded albums or groups.
  • The media did not depict a verified member. If you haven’t yet Verified your account, any uploads you previously made as the Group Owner won’t be visible. The same goes for any members who upload photos or videos to your group.  As soon as all accounts are Verified, we’ll review your images and videos and quickly make them available for everybody else.
  • The media depicts more than one individual. If this is the case, just let us know which BateWorld members appear in the photo or video. If they’re Verified, we can make the media visible right away.

Check out BateWorld Terms of Service for more information.

What happens if I initiate a chargeback?

Chargebacks made against site active memberships are grounds for immediate termination of the membership without refund, and permanent removal of the member account. Email and IP addresses will be logged for record keeping purposes and will be prevented from use in creating new accounts in the future. We may also be legally obligated to provide personal information and account details to the credit card provider as part of the chargeback dispute process.

If you’re having second thoughts about your Premium membership, read about how you can request a refund, rather than initiating a chargeback.
