The links go viral, the SmugMug user gets lots of clicks on the racy shots, and the rest is history.

The guideline then is:
  1. Backup before sharing links,
  2. Or upload only photos don't disclose links.

Agreed on all points.

But for pictures posted here, and removed from here, there was probably something else going on. Like an owner of the pics contacting admin to remove them. Or underage content. Something like that. We all know that Alexa was above age. So more than likely an owner contacted admin and it was removed. Which I will never ever dispute . It is what it is.
