MEA CUPA

[dougsan]

A couple of days back I started a thread in which I broke a major rule - without knowing it at the time. I posted shots from pay sites. I did not realize what I was doing was wrong and apologize. The following shots -- I hope -- don't break any rules. Sorry in advance for repeats.

It looks like you've learned to crop photos. The writing that you see on the pictures that say the name of the website, or "hosted by", or even the (c), those are called watermarks. It means that the pictures are either profesionally shot or are copyrighted. It's in the posting rules. Please read them. It's at the top of every category.



4. DO NOT post or request photos & videos that are watermarked with another website's name or URL.
5. DO NOT post a picture with the watermark edited out in order to circumvent rule #4.

Although a VERY large number of pictures here are both pay site and cropped. So many on every thread its impossible to report. The golden rule is simple. If you are a moderator or one of the people they like you can post them...if not you can't.

If you do not like the thread then, either start your own, or go to another thread!! It is that simple!! The rules also state, using my own words, do not flame other poster. I hope you do not spend all your time on this great forum looking for pro-semi-pro shots cause you are gonna have your hands full! So Dollybabe, till an administrator checks it just move on if you don't like the content!! Thank You Very Much!!!
