What is a photo hold?

A photo hold takes your profile out of the deck until your photographs are made good, and nothing else about your account is touched.

Your matches all stand, your messages keep working and nobody is told. There are two reasons for one: no photograph on your profile is of you on your own, or a photograph was removed and nothing has been added since.

It is not a ban and it is not a suspension. A held profile is told it is held, told why, and told what fixes it.

To lift it, add a photograph.
