I have a gallery that has become contaminated with gross photos I dont want. The downvote / block only seems to make them invisible but others using the gallery can see unless they do the same, and if i share the gallery I dont want anyone having to see them at all.
Is there anyway a feature be added or the block/down vote feature to be updated to actually delete photos from a gallery or even possibility to delete a gallery entirely?
@[email protected] - pinging dev. If you want to actually have zero chance for the images to be viewable whatsoever, the only possible way is to just purge them from the gallery (i.e. deleting them entirely from the servers).
How can I do that?
There’s no option in the gallery UI, but there could be a way to, and only the Dev can add features to the gallery. Possibly be put into the admin mode so only admins can purge the images.
got you. even if it could be vote based itd help. so as not not trouble the admin when ever we exp4erience a troll photo. the gallery says “if enough blocks are given the images wont show up at all” but that hasnt worked as new members experience it
Actually there’s a similar thread on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/perchance/comments/1bk1kvf/clean_up_galleries_or_delete_images_from_it/
Yeah, other people have been reporting this type of problem every now and then. But at least glad if that helped you.
Also, just to add, you can also set the gallery to hide an image immediately after the first downvote, which is described in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/7757183
that was what i was referring to. its hidden only to me but others on it can see it. and multiple downvotes and blocking doesnt remove the image
