I hate there are limits on everything
I just want to delete pictures, so I have more room to post more pictures...
Why can I only delete so many? It's BS...

Hello,
Just to be sure you are aware, we recently increased the limits for Image Uploads:
https://similarworlds.com/groups/admin-announcements/4440020-Bonus-Photos-Quota-Switch-Accounts-from-anywhere-a
As we had previously recently Doubled the Image Quota limits, we had thought that the new quota would be sufficient for the vast majority of users.
With the latest changes, the new Image Quota Limits scale in accordance to the user's activity.
So in your case, being an active user, you should have a much larger Image Quota limit than before, that shouldn't likely max out as it did before (since the limit increases the more you use SW).

@Andrew I understand what you are saying. Could you not still provide an interface to select all (whatever the limit is, say, 25 items on one page in a list of one's replies in x number of pages of lists) ... even if it takes the server 24 hours or 7 days to sort through all of these steps after we submit the request? I mean the one of us making multiple requests, whether having to do it one at a time or 25/100 at a time ... and processing those requests seems like two separate steps to me, unless I am missing something

Thanks for all the feedback, and we will take note of this, and will look into this further.
(We are still in the middle of developing a lot of new features, improvements, and attending to pending user requests).
Apart from the potential load on our servers, we had mentioned the situation of users very regularly asking us to restore their Photos / Messages / Account, shortly after deleting them.
It's easy for people sometimes, to want to "Delete Everything" after a bad interactions / experience on a website,
then once they get over the initial emotional period, they come to realize that the incident is not that big of a deal, and certainly not worth deleting all their data over.
(Which can then cause us SW Staff, additional work in having to deal with non-stop data restoration requests, which we cannot always fulfill.)
In our experience, the vast majority of users who at some point wished to "Delete all Photos", changed their mind afterwards, and after some days, continued to use the site as usual, being content that they didn't delete it all.
I do still understand where you are coming from
(and that it can seem a bit unfair to not simply provide every option that users request).
Its sort of a weighing of Pros and Cons, I guess.
For now, because of the tremendous amount of workload we have, distributed between x2 Admins,
to be able to handle all critical requests, user conflicts and development tasks,
we have to lean towards, at times, the options that do not add further workload to our plates.
