Flag Photos made me CRY tonight

[banderson5]

the worst thing I have ever seen and now i don't ever want to flag photos again!!!! poor children. I never want to see a picture of a child being sexually abused ever again. 

BEWARE guys. I had no idea these kind of pictures could be on here. I hope that they are tracking these and someone can call the police, cause I have no idea how to go about doing this.

Wow, that's really awful! I'm sorry that you had to see pics like that. I hope someone is keeping track of those pics. Usually there aren't pics like that at all.

I am sorry I saw it too!!! I hope that those type of pictures aren't on often, but I don't think I will be flagging any photos for quite a while. I also do hope that someone is monitoring these.

Wow, I have never tried these tasks but I was under the impression that these were adult content only. Just reading this post saddens me. This month may be my last cash out and the end of my membership here on FC.

There is an option on the task page to remove all adult tasks. You can find it in the task section on the lower right.

I don’t even bother to do those Flag Photo task anymore. I get tired of doing them and my eyes hurt. It’s been quite a long while since. I have no idea these images are getting worse!

I too was checking out the tasks this morning, and clicked on the flag pictures.. After reading the rules, first row of pictures came up, and I saw just a little girl sitting there, dressed.. and I got this sick feeling.. and just could not continue..

I haven't done the flagging image in a while. Some were quite vulgar. Might steer clear of the task in the future if I'm going to have to subject my eyes to abuse pictures.

Yeah, some of them are quite disturbing.  People need to be thrown in fail.

That's so sad!  I've tried the Flag Photos task in the past because I had heard it was a quick way to earn easy money but some of the content was too disturbing and I've steered clear of it ever since.  Fortunately I never ran across anything as bad as what you saw-so sorry you had to be subjected to that!

I don't think you should quit FC over this, they warn you and you have the option of turning off tasks like these. The term "adult content" can mean a wide range of things which they outline in the description of the task.

To the original poster: if it helps in any way, since the point of the task is to flag images like what you saw, you may have prevented the poster from ever sharing a photo like that again or from someone else seeing it. I hope that comforts you in some small way

When you flag adult content, you expect nudity, but not criminal child sexual abuse.  I am wondering if there is a way to contact Crowdflower over it.  I would assume the reason we do them is so that when enough people flag something, it isn't allowed on certain sites.  That doesn't account for criminal behavior that was witnessed.  I would probably not let it go and make sure someone was notified, because otherwise they might not realize it exists.  The flagging categories don't allow for a category of that nature, that I remember!  It could turn into a good thing if you can get someone caught.

I agree. Some of the photos are definitely inappropriate. If the task is to flag adult content then they shouldn't have pics of children or even pets  (I had seen).

I hope they stop putting these types of pics on there because soon nobody will want to complete the task.

I understand that flagging these pictures helps keep them from other eyes, but I can not be a part of a site that allows this and doesn't clearly state what you are flagging. Adult images should not include children and whether the tasks can be hidden or not they are still there. I can't make money off of the depravity of another human being. Thus, I MUST say farewell to FC.
