Good Morning
I have been on Flickr as a Pro Member Since 2007
I have come a long way and I am a member of the Flickr family anything that hurts you would hurt me too.
My entire photostream over 300000 images is a documentary of India and Indian life culture rituals street photography and I use Flickr as a blog platform to make people aware of the sufferings and hardships of the poor and the beggars .
I have never posted porn , I have never abused a Flickr member if I have issue I block move ahead I am blocking over 1300 people because of their phonographic content ,,I am a grandfather of 3 girl children so I know what it feels to see all this .. and I understand your concern.
I am a Shia Muslim a persecuted race many a times people from the radical end have reported my Shia images but I cant stop people from having diverse views on my pictures .
I have removed my entire Hijra Transgender images from Public view because sorry to say you have failed in safeguarding our images that are stolen by Flickr members and Yahoo Copyright is another name for legalese in slumber ..
I have frontal nudity in one set I have completely restricted it even the normal pictures ..This is my Maha Kumbh set of Naga Sadhus

I have always moderated my stuff but I am on old man suffering from diabetes and memory loss diminishing eyesight there is a possibility an image might have escaped the filter net I apologize if this has happened it was never my intention to hurt anyone .
Both my grand children Marziya Shakir and Nerjis Asif Shakir have Flickr accounts budding photographers I want them to use Flickr carry the tradition after my death.
I have immense respect for your judgement I abide by Flickr guidelines rules and I would like you to keep this in mind and now I leave my Fate to your discretion if you still have an issue I will stop using Flickr completely ,
I have over the years promoted Flickr all over the net pimping my Flickr links ,, over Twitter Facebook Blogspot , Indiblogger , Tumblr I promote Tumblr too ..so it hurts seeing my photostream being profiled harshly by an unintentional error ,,
And I once again hope you return my photostream to Safe status ,,that it has been all these years ..
Thanks
