Linking to another forum with photos of somebody else on?

[Nixt]

The aim is to really prevent people from doing it from any website. You might find a picture on a random website that they may have (or may not have) uploaded themselves, but they might not want people to view it on here. Granted it is less likely they'd be against it being posted on here, but at the end of the day it is not up to YOU to post pictures of other members - if they want to themselves, then fine. It makes no difference to us where you found the image, if you post it without their permission you are breaking the rules because if they wanted it on this forum, they would have posted it themselves.

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.

Well thats very stupid then isn't it :S. You shouldn't be punishing members for doing something that isn't actually breaking the rules, end of really lol.

During my time as a forum (super) moderator I don't think I dealt with this situation once.

It is and always has been breaking the rules, it comes under posting images of other forum members, you asked for it to be clearer in highlighting that so we added a few words - the rule hasn't changed at all.

I agree with management on this one O), you could just link their imagine then instead of embedding it, it would be insanely easy to get around. Pretty simple at the moment. And if u wanna show a picture of someone then u can just get the link, not hard

I don't think you quite understand somehow. Posting a link to another publicly viewable thread on another forum that happens to contain a picture of another member is not the same as posting a direct image of another member on the forum - I asked for it to be added to the rules, not to be made clearer. How can you make something clearer when it doesn't actually exist.

But what if they aren't of members of this forum? =S

The first time I did embed them, which I'm fine with. But I got a warning for linking to a thread on another forum. I can't remember if you have to be registered to view CHF's threads either.

Well, it's something that we clearly disagree on Josh because when we wrote the rules that was one of the circumstances considered when writing the posting images of other forum members rule Posting a link to a page which contains an image of another forum member has always been against the forum rules, simple really.

@ Moh - if they are still Habbos that's even more reason not to post images of them on this forum.

Totally agree you have never been able to post personal information/private content about another member without prior permission. This has been in force since pictures were allowed. Before that no pictures not even your own were allowed.

If it was a circumstance considered then why wasn't it added to the list under the rule like it is now? Yes it maybe simple really, to people who can read minds. I checked the rules before posting the link. What I was punished for wasn't covered by the rules so I posted it, unfortunately I must be one of those darn members who were not blessed to be able to read minds.

Josh, it's posting an image of another member and you posted the link with the intention of sharing the image, this has been against the rules for a very long time as most members know.
