Linking to another forum with photos of somebody else on?

How come you're not allowed to link to another forum thread that has photos of themselves that THEY posted?

They're posted publicly, not privately?

I'm guessing they might not want them spread around beyond that forum, but that's just a guess :)

I got a warning for this, before it was even in the rules. Thought i'd throw that in ;)

This is correct, if someone posts a picture on a forum that is not this one, they may not want it posting on this one, when posting pictures of users permission must always be requested.

It has always been against the rules and users have been contacted regarding it many months before your occurance.

But the pictures aren't posted on here directly, was a link to a thread that contains photos.

If you're not allowed to do that, then surely you can't post anything because there's surely going to be a photo of somebody.

You are giving people on here access to those photographs.

Which you knew contained photographs of people whom may not want their photographs on HabboxForum, there's a simple answer really: ask permission.

I don't understand why Habbox have to do anything. It's not your responsibility, it's the people who uploaded their photo. If they don't want people to see them, then don't upload them.

I'd understand if it was off somebodys facebook as they have privacy settings etc.. but on another forum not so much.

It's the same principle really, different people use HxF than CHF and whilst they may trust the CHF community with their images they may not trust the HxF community, on top of this some users do not like their pictures being discussed on a forum which they don't use as much, therefore cannot say anything or see what is being said about them.

As I said, it's pretty simple if you ask permission, that way there's no problem.
