How to Protect Your Flickr Account From Being Deleted

I came across some important information for those of you out there who like to post adult images to your flickr accounts. Some of you may have been victimized by having your photos or account deleted because someone flagged your content to flickr management. These tips will help you to protect your account and photos...

When you upload new photos, make sure to mark them as Private: Friends only. This way only those you mark as a friend can see your entire photostream regardless of content. The trick is when adding new people to ensure you mark them as a friend and not simply just a contact. You might be thinking, but I want everyone to see my photos, well add them to as many groups as you can, people will still be able to view the content through a group page and through doing so add you as a contact.

If you simply upload photos and leave them as viewable to everyone, it's only a matter of time before someone flags your account to Flickr Admins and then next thing you know it is deleted.
