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.

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. 

Has BateWorld been hacked?

We work as hard as we can to make sure that any personal information (other than what is shown publicly on a user’s profile) is always protected. What we can’t protect against is common scams and attempts at extortion that may make it seem like a hacker gained information from our site.

So called “sextortion” scams arrive via email and explain (usually in broken English) how someone has allegedly gained control of a webcam and recorded a user in compromising situations while visiting adult websites. If the hacker isn’t paid (often a strange and uneven dollar amount, often in bitcoin), they will supposedly release the video to everyone on the user’s contact list.

That sounds quite scary, until you realize how truly commonplace these scams are. (Both the UK and New Zealand have been investigating such scams for years). And once you’ve ignored your first one, it gets easier and easier to mark them all as spam and move on. These emails aren’t connected to adult websites or a user’s browsing history and are sent to anyone who has an email address, with the hope someone will feel they’ve been “caught,” and pay up.

Three quick tips for sextortion emails:

  1. NEVER click any links in the body of the email, visit any sites listed, or reply to the sender, under any circumstances.
  2. NEVER send money or attempt to share any kind of payment information with a bitcoin wallet or PayPal address displayed in the email.
  3. Immediately change any passwords that might be listed as “proof” that the hacker has access to your account. Here’s how to change your BateWorld password right now: How do I change my password?

How do I update my Status?

You can add a Status Update from either the Homepage or your Profile page.

On the Homepage you will see a box called My Status with a yellow Update Status bar. Click on Update Status. A pop-up window will appear with a text box. Just type in what you want to add for your Status Update. Click Save. Your current status will instantly appear on the Latest Activity feed.

From your Profile page click Update Status in the Status window just below your Profile Picture. Follow the same steps of filling in the text box that appears in the pop-up window. Click Save. Your current status will appear on your Profile page and in the Latest Activity feed.

You can also add photos from any of your Albums to your Status update before you save your text. Once you have filled in the text box, simply click on the Add Photo text below the text box in the Status Update pop-up window.. A new box will appear with all your existing Photo Albums. Click on the Album that you want to pull the image from. Then click on the image you want to upload. Finally click the Save button at the bottom of the pop-up window.

Your new Status Update and photo will appear in the Activity Feed on the Homepage as well as in your own Recent Activity on your Profile page.

How do I tag someone in a video I upload to a group?

Navigate to My Profile. From the dropdown menu click My Group Videos. A new window will appear showing thumbnails of all the videos you’ve uploaded to groups. Thumbnails are ordered oldest first to newest. Scroll down until you see the video that needs to be tagged. Click Edit Video. A pop-up will appear with different fields. Add your buddy’s Username in the text box under Tag other members appearing in this video.

Once you have added the tag, hit the Save Changes button.

How do I stop getting “like” notifications?

Navigate to My Profile. From the dropdown menu click on Account Settings. A new window will appear. Scroll down until you see the header Website Notifications. Here you can select whether or not to receive notifications when you log in. If you no longer want to receive “like” notifications, make sure to uncheck the boxes next to When someone likes one of my photos/When someone likes one of my videos.

Once you have adjusted your notification preferences, hit the Save Changes button.

What are “likes?”

All BateWorld members can now “like” other members’ photos and videos. To like someone else’s media just click on the thumbnail or preview image of the photo or video you want. A new page will appear with the full image or video. In the bottom left corner you’ll notice the BateWorld logo with the word “like” next to it. Click on the text and your like will be recorded on the site.

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.

I’m Verified, but the uploaded photos or videos in my group come from other members. What happens now?

Groups are a hot way for members to share their experiences with buddies who have similar interests on BateWorld. To make sure it’s safe to share photos or videos that don’t belong to you as the group owner, each individual appearing must be Verified on bateworld.com.

If your group members aren’t already Verified, this is a great chance to get them onboard! Verification only takes about a minute allowing them to share all their dick pics and bate sessions in your group!
