They do not say, "do not edit or crop watermarks." They say, "DO NOT post...."
Once you click REPLY, you own it, whether you did the editing or not.
In Rule 8, regarding underage material, it says, "If you're not sure of someone's age, don't post it." You should use that rule of thumb for all of your posts; meaning, if you're not sure if a photo is a pro or cropped, don't post it.
My take on this is that most of the people here have been surfing for porn for years, and after a certain amount of time, you should begin to get some sense of what it pure amateur, and what comes from a pro site like ILTB. I can only conclude that either people are oblivious or they just don't care, knowing the mods will clean up their messes.
When I sense something isn't right, I check it, and 95% of the time I'm right.
I'm getting to the point where I believe I've proven I know what I'm doing by taking my time to show all of you my "proof posts." Soon I will just start deleting with no proof and you'll all have to live with it without question.

I think we all appreciate your efforts to keep these threads clean.
I think we’re all ok with you deleting offending posts without explanation (although it IS frustrating)
But what I find problematic (and I suspect others do too) is that we don’t have your discerning eye for fakes. Nor do we have your encyclopedic knowledge of online porn to spit a cropped watermarked photo. These all look like regular amateur photos to us.
When you delete with a comment that suggests you’re at the end of your rope of patience, we all start posting less with a chilling effect on the sharing of legitimate photos. Please cut us some slack. .... and, as always, thanks for all you do.
