Thanks for the well-reasoned input. I for one am glad you spoke up.
I emailed the admin about an additional account before I created The Mogul and received his permission. If he ever objects I'll drop it of course. I wanted to show him some pf the possibilities of multiple accounts. Of course, I'm locking up pics I want, and hopefully I'll make some points in the end, right now I'm actually down about 50,000 in points I paid out (yes, that includes adding the two accounts together). I was up to almost 250,000 before I started, but the pics I'll get over the next 40 days will be some compensation. It's a looong time to wait, though, auctions should run much quicker.
I like a lot of your ideas, I have proposed many of them myself. As much as I wrote on boards, I wrote more via email.
The admin told me he is working on pagination, so that google can search the long lists on the site, but that was weeks ago. I haven't heard any news of progress, all I got for the work and thought I put in was to be blown off on the silly rating problems. So, I stopped posting, and decided to take it all less seriously until he makes some changes.
I have some ideas about getting pics out of the top accounts. The only way a player can do it is to buy them. So, I was thinking about just creating a bunch of accounts for the quest points, and then spreading the points around so I don't affect the standings much. All accounts would gain points, but getting the income pics out of the inactive accounts would stop them from growing any further.
I like the idea of an upkeep cost, I proposed that somewhere along the line.
The BIG flaw in auctions is when you bid on a pic, the money stays in the game, it goes to the previous bidder, letting them make a profit by bidding you up. Instead, you should be able to enter your max bid, and the system compares them and raises the price the same way ebay works. The money would go out of the game. Or, two friends can bid up pictures for each other. Or one person can do it with two accounts, obviously.
I don't know about the progressive upkeep thing, though. People should be able to keep some pics that are not for sale. I suggested galleries, which would be public web pages. You could choose from a set of themes, like tumblr, and display a fixed number of pics, which presumably would get you more hits. You could buy more slots for pics you want to keep with points, and buy more gallery pages.
As for my in game goals, it is buy 100,000 pics. I figure just random hits will be more than the lead accounts are getting, so I will catch them in time. Plus at some point in the next couple months I was planning to start social media accounts on tumblr, reddit, and pinterest, to try to get more hits on my pics.
In the meantime, on auctions, generally I bid until I get to a price I would sell for, and after that stay out of it. Once you make a good bid on a pic I won't bid you up. It really I stopped other people from making money by running me up. But I get most of my pics (about 95%) from searching babe lists.
If there are particular pics I have that you like, make me an offer on boards, and we'll talk. You're actually one of my more liked players, you didn't exploit the problems I was having using an ipad, where I could only set prices on the 60 pics at the top of my list. Other players raided me. That prompted the change to set prices on the individual pic screen, btw, that was another of my suggestions, one that actually got implemented.
