Unless you just want the satisfaction of winning, I would move on to another host. It's their site and it's good to be king. If you want to fight, re-naming the file is the best action. One remedy may be to spell words backward or substitute numbers for letters so you can figure it out, but the bots can't. Then you still have the possibility that someone will complain and they will figure out your naming system and still kick you off.

In a difficult economy, you may have the basis for a new business. Take everyone's pics, start your own site with a few terabytes of storage, sell some adds, and go golfing. Call it "free speech pics".

Of course some of the pics you get with fisters and other pervs will make you copy the photobucket rules and then you will be one of,...... "THEM". Then you will cull out the photo's making fun of Bush or Palin and you will have to change your name.

As a paying customer I have an expectation of satisfactory service. You advocate me surrendering without firing a shot.

I'm not losing sleep over this so I have time to handle it in my own way. Their position is not right so I have a solid position.

Even privately owned corporations have a responsibility to be responsive to their customers needs and to satisfactorily explain their policies if they want to avoid bad publicity and stay in business.

If we move on to another, then another, then another we run out of services and all the prior services succeeded in eliminating yet another consumer check-and-balance.

This sure doesn't rise to the level of 0bama instituting anti-constitutional power structure but it is worth my time to explore my options and the dissatisfaction of other photobucket customers.

So, unconditionally surrender on your own time, FRiend.
