Considering on recent threads/posts made by that user, you have to wonder whether it was him who posted in the first place!

I am not referring specifically to your situation, just why it is against the rules in the first place.

He posted a thread on the forum last night mentioning he got hacked and whatever else. Meaning you saying "even the user was going along" etc. You then wonder "was it actually him" though.

The issue is only whether or not you had permission to post the image. If he pm'd Oli saying you had permission then most likely it would be reversed. Josh the rule has always been the same since we were allowed to post pictures.

I understand that posting a image directly onto the forum is against the rules if done so without permission. What I didn't understand is the posting a link to another publicly viewable thread on another forum was classed as posting a picture of another member - this wasn't in the rules. I then suggested it should be added and it has been. :P

It was always in the rules, Josh - you asked for it to be made clearer that it was against the rules. Nothing has been added or taken away.

I actually think it was but last time they trimmed them down a lot of this detail went which was a bit unfortunate.

This is correct Rosie, we thought that it would be obvious that linking to a page which contains an image would be the same rule which forbids people from posting images without permission, perhaps not - it has been clarified now anyway.
