chuckklr98 - please read
chuckklr98, in an earlier post I came down on 'collect' rather hard for a post he made in the 'Biker Rallie's' thread. It didn't bother me that he shared or posted my pics. That's actually a compliment. What bothered me was that it contained photos from the 'Can she ride it - the mechanical bull' and 'Biker Rallie's' threads in the immediate preceeding post in the same thread 12 hours earlier. I've since been in contact with 'collect' via several messages. He's a good guy. He simply was trying to contribute and didn't realize where the material came from. He has conveyed to me that he got the stuff from your 'Flickr' account. Again, I don't have a problem with people reposting or sharing my stuff. I'm not stupid, I know my pictures will possibly be posted elsewhere. That's fine, as long as it's not a pay site. I'd hate for someone to make money off something they can get for free.
The problem is that the way you're handling it(not just you, others also) is creating a lot of duplicates on this site. As I've said earlier, I've got tens of thousands of original pics on various subjects. When I first came to this site I was looking for places to share my pics. As I checked out threads I kept coming across duplicates within the same thread. You, and others, are causing this. Many people here have 'Flickr'(and other) contacts. They find pics on 'Flickr' and post them here. To the credit of some, they will post a message to the effect "Found these on 'Flickr'".
I'm asking that you do the same thing on your 'Flickr' account. All you'd have to do is add a note to your post, "Found these on the 'One Click Chicks'" site. If you add that note people would know not to repost them here. I want this site to prosper. I have nothing against your site and wish it well. All I'm asking is a little cooperation.
Before I started posting here I contacted Alex, the owner, and asked if it would be okay to add the tag 'Photo/Scan by Fast Charlie' to my pics and he gave his approval. As a result I started tagging my pics and have a bunch ready. If you add the note to a group of pics you get from here it will remedy the situation. Otherwise, I'm going to have to start tagging my pics with 'Photos by Fast Charlie posted on OneClickChicks.com'.
If you're just coming here and grabbing pics you probably won't read this. But I hope you read it and will agree to cooperate. If I knew the name you were going under on this site I would have sent you a PM. Thanks.
