This is from the “it's not me, it's you” department. Constantly (I've already gotten I think three today) people message me saying that the picture they sent was actually high resolution, or wasn't blurry, or whatever… And I never know what to say. I mean, it's not really a “matter of opinion”. It either is or it isn't.
For example, given the above picture (I've cropped it to show the tattoo; the submitted image contains a pile of dead space around the above), after rejecting it I got the following message (I've eliminated the hot pink text to make it more readable):
okay this is the 3rd time i've tried sending in my photos. how can they be blurry or anything because i used a digital camera. i checked them before i sent them to make sure it would work. this is ridiculous you know forget me even sending in any of my photos. and I'll be sure to tell my friends not to send anymore in, and not to visit your crappy site. oh by the way. I've seen tons of blurry pics on that site. so it isn't me its you
That's usually the way it works. There are three key arguments people use:
- It's impossible. Digital cameras can't take blurry photos. I paid a lot for this camera/scanner. It's a good camera.
- I saw blurrier pictures on the site, why can't you accept my blurry photo? Other people's bad photos slipped through, you should let mine through too.
- It's your fault. Your site sucks. I never wanted to send in pictures anyway. I'm telling all my friends mean things about you!
Of course, then there's the brilliant pro-war emails I get:
