It looks like an algorithm kind of thing just banning nude pics randomly  Very annoying |
It is not done randomly
because there
is an algorithm behind.
Every digital picture comes with a unique code (CRC32 = Cyclic Redundancy Check).
This code does not change/is not affected while renaming your files. It only gets changed by manipulating the pic in itself (size-changes/resolutions).
Keeping that in mind, pics that are reported from third-parties for infringements (either XXX-rated or copyrighted) will be removed by the hoster.
The reason for your supposed "randomness" just roots in the fact that -apart from complete sets- uploaded pics get spread by others after they had downloaded them. By result, they sooner or later appear on numerous platforms/forums.
If one (or numerous) of these pics are being reported for whatever reasons, they are taken down and their CRC32-code logged as well. At that very moment, all pics stored carrying the same code will get unaccessable, also yours in case you once have uploaded the same pic too.
Same procedure happens while uploading: Once another (innocent) person uploads that pic from his own stashes (regardless where it originally came from), it will be cross-checked using the CRC-algorithm and youŽll get the "banned"-message immediately after upping.
ImageBam in particular is famous for using a clever detection-software.
