Ride photo censoring?

so last night I rode Expedition Everest with my daughters. A guy in our car pulled up His shirt and the picture was available at the end of the ride.

That started a conversation on how they prevent innapropriate photos from appearing. I am sure there is a software part of it, but is there a human censor as well?

We go so often and we have a group that does creative "poses" on some of the rides. just for fun. but, we never do anything that is not fun or family friendly. Never seen any bad stuff in photos but Im sure some people try it.

I remember reading somewhere they have humans checking the photos, doe female and rude gestures and such. Don't know if that's true, but it sounds plausible. I'd think having software checking it would be way too unreliable.

Some make it through. Like the little heathen behind us on Dinosaur flipping a bird. It even made it onto our memory maker. I would post it, but I don't know how to blur it.

There is about a 5 minute gap between photo taking and viewing on EE. I would assume software plus human backup.

I'm sure there are still people who are inappropriate for ride photos, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that they'll get ejected pretty quickly if they cross certain lines. (Anyone remember the notorious "Flash Mountain" photos?)

I've seen some of those photos and always wondered which park they came from.... flash your in some places and you can get arrested and when your face is caught along with the other bits flashed it is pretty hard to act like it wasn't you doing it. I've heard of people getting the pleasure of being put on a sex offenders list for baring too much as a prank so I would think flashing on Splash Mountain would be a very stupid thing to do.

Honestly, i wouldn't have expected them to block that guy's picture. It was Innocent enough If it was this big of a issue then wouldnt they have banned guys into the water parks if they weren't wearing a sun/pool shirt? This is stuff you have to know before complaining that they should have banned the picture.

Show me where I complained about it. It brought up a discussion and I asked a logistical question. Was that unclear?

"A guy in our car pulled up His shirt and the picture was available at the end of the ride. inappropriate photos from appearing"
It's just that you are saying its "inappropriate" is just wierd

I didn't. That was a new paragraph.
Explain this
"A guy in our car pulled up His shirt and the picture was available at the end of the ride.

That started a conversation on how they prevent inappropriate photos from appearing"

A man pulled up his shirt in order to show bare skin in a ride photo. (First paraphrased sentence.)
This incident of someone pulling up their shirt in order to show bare skin on a ride photo started a conversation on how they prevent inappropriate photos from appearing. (Second paraphrased sentence.)

I can see both how Bacon might see how they were connected but also how mj2v was, in fact, not saying that the gentleman from the first sentence was inappropriate.

With that said, legally appropriate or not, it's still pretty tacky. It's a family park and there's not really any reason for someone to pull up their shirt, male or female.

I would guess it brought up the women who would have their tops lifted on splash mountain or something similar that sparked the discussion, not the act of the guy doing it himself.

six or seven years ago on a high school field trip i rode everest with a few kids i was friends with and one of them (burnout then, burnout now) lifted his shirt up - when we got to the TVs after the ride one of the CMs blocked our photo with a small fan. this same kid caused a commotion at our trip group's area of rooms at one of the all-star hotels one night by waking up at 1am and running around yelling wearing a viking helmet from norway pavilion and a wet towel tied around his neck like a cape. i don't miss high school
