You are so hardcore

We have checked out your Streetfiles member account and we think you are really hardcore. Please keep in mind:

We really like bombing but we are not here for pure destruction. Don't get us wrong: We really like the ugliest tags as long it is nice photo. But if the bombing is not outstanding and the photo is shit? What can we say? Well.

The internet is not an anonymous place. You can really get busted for publishing your bombings in the world wide web. We really want to protect our members and we do a lot more than others do but there is still a risk.

So please:

Better do not upload action photos showing you or your friends. Bluring the face is a good idea but sometimes not enough.
Better do not upload night shots that can associated to the place the action took place.
Don't use an e-mail address for your Streetfiles member account that can be associated with your personal identity.
If possible use a public internet access which can not be associated with your personal identity.
Maybe use an anonymize service such as tor.
Use more than one member account or upload photos anonymously.

And read this: http://www.graffiti.org/bench/blog_content/img/how-posting-online-can-get-you-busted.html
At least we highly recommend that you do not publish all of your hardcore photos for everyone. You can publish photos just for your Streetfiles friends.

If you think this could be you - think about it!

ihr lasst zu viele schundbilder durchgehen, finde ich. die qualitaet und der durchklickspass leiden. werdet kein 2. graffitiart, bitte. klasse, statt masse.

beste gruesse...

Esher says in October 2008:

danke für die meinung. diskussionen dieser art haben wir hier auch ne menge. erstmal sind wir sind der offizielle nachfolger von graffitinet, und damit sehrwohl das 2. graffitinet.

und dann muss ich sagen, wir versuchen beiden ansprüchen gerecht zu werden, quantität und qualität. graffiti und streetart sind massenkulturen. für mich ist es ein soziales experiment alles zuzulassen. auf der strasse kann auch jeder malen, nur die die gut sind und ausgefallene sachen machen, kriegen die props. dafür haben wir unser bewertungssystem. auf die ersten photo-seiten, oder gar auf die startseite zu kommen gelingt nicht jedem.

aber wir wünschen uns auch mehr qualität. ich habe das gefühl, dass einige gute künstler noch nen bisschen vorsichtig sind, hier was zu veröffentlichen, eben weil hier auch so viele toys sind. das ist eine sache von aufklärung und da müssen wir sicher noch aktiv bleiben.

Esher says in October 2008:

and of course we should talk english here,,,,

Bond says in October 2008:

ok, i get it. everything is allowed and wanted. the variety of human expression needs no censorship. on&amp;on. still i meant graffitiart.de, not graffitinet.org. misunderstanding.
dont worry, people will come. internet is an evergrowing tree and this page is fairly new. its not the newest concept but you have a nicer look and userinterface than most others. keep on and best of luck and respect from my side. i believe most of the "gute künstler" are rather painting burner than hanging out at netpages, though. at least i hope so;-)

Esher says in December 2008:

graffiti verjährt in deutschland nach 30 jahren.

Waldi says in February 2010:

Sachbeschädigung verjährt nach 30 Jahren.

Hausburger says in February 2010:

Dr. Patrick Gau klärt auf

Mr Miller says in February 2010:

Ich denke die Verjährungsfrist von 30 Jahren bezieht sich auf den zivilrechtlichen Schadensersatzanspruch. Der Straftatbestand wird wahrscheinlich schon früher verjährt sein. Doch häufig muss man beachten, dass Verjährungsfristen erst nach bekanntwerden des Täters zu laufen beginnen.

Eigentlich sollte es möglich sein, das alles richtig in Erfahrung zu bringen. Wer kennt sich auf diesem Gebiet wirklich aus?

SorOne says in February 2010:

hey uhm im 17 i picked up my first can 2 years ago i cant believe that you say im hardcore haha
and about the photo quality and stuff... not everybody got a good camera and some of them (like me) have a decent one but are a bad photographer, im not paintin to show how beatifull its graffiti for me its just adrenaline and cheap fun and i saw a lot of toy stuff here i dont understand what is so beatifull in that
the only thing that disturbes me are the 298749874 streetfiles accounts, without any photos, propertie of children that never had touched a can and they spend the day comenting on every photo they see cause all in this web is amazing for them
dont tell the blue man where i live, thanks ;)

i noticed something.

there were pictures uploaded so only friends can look at them. if one of the friends who happened to be on my friendlist, commented on that particular photo, i could look at it. as a result i could look at all the other pictures aswell even tho i could not visit his/her page and look at the same photos if i used the search function.
does not happen all the time, but sometimes it works, and i use this to get to see pictured i must not see in the first place.

since some time, this bug didnt work anymore tho.

to the entire discussion itself, we are not anonymous. picking up a can and making a single dot on something, that does not belong to ourselfs let us become a criminal.
if people arent aware about this fact, they might aswell upload images on streetfiles. they might blur their faces, but they do not know that it is actually possible to get to see their faces by removing this effect..go study media informatics.

i sorta have togo along with bond as far as the "good" pictures issue goes. since i am "only" interested into "legal" artwork i have noticed, that it is harder to find good work since the vast majority of shots beeing uploaded - "pictures - most recent" seems to be bombings.

dont get me wrong, i love bombings as you do, i just do not want to look at 100000 newones each day :D

this may be the only critism i can come up with.

i loved this site since i found it on the internet by accident, thank you very much, youre doing a great job.

@bond: i am addicted to the internet and i spend alot of my freetime reading forums on new pc hardware, and id dare to say, i can paint pictures that atleast burn a little bit :)

cheers

keep it going
