Wanda is no pro. Her husband is a serious amateur photog and that's about it. If you don't want their stuff here that's up to you.

Do you have proof/a source for the pics?

WhizBiz is correct, Fango. I know both Bill and Wanda - friends for five+ years - and she is a housewife who is also beautiful, and he is a very fine photographer, albeit amateur.

That's the problem with having a rule that says "no pro pics". A mod then looks at a pic and arbitrarily decides it's pro and deletes it. Meanwhile, in contradiction, obviously pro pics taken by professional photographers (even with file names that indicate they come from sites that house professional photographers) are allowed to stay on the board.

The difference, as I'm told, is this: OCC fears legal action regarding material from pay sites (which is usually crappy in quality compared to real professional photography), while it is unfearful of true professional photographers, who do not have retained legal counsel. At least one mod on this site contradicts the stated policy by saying true professional photography (well-lit and artful) can stay, but material even suspected to come from paysites, as poor quality it may be, routinely goes. And what goes with it is anything that looks like the crappy photography that comes from pay sites. I'm surprised that "darkeyedredhead" doesn't get deleted, since her husband's photography is way better than the average pay site bounce-flash crap.

Moderation on this site is very uneven - one mod is a "pro-pic nazi", and never sees a watermark, while another one sniffs out mostly watermarked pics (which this site is rife with) and leaves the "imagined" pro pics alone (thank you). I've given up posting pictures because of the uneven-ness of the moderation.
