All women in the photos have lives of their own, and just because we don't actually know them doesn't mean they are any different to friends, neighbours or loved ones. I think what should be considered more is WHAT is reposted, regardless of whether you know the girl or not.
On another angle, if you've seen someone you know photos online, then their pics have already been posted by somebody else, so they are already out there on the net. So I suppose you could repost if you wished, as long as it wasn't done with their full name, address and personal details for malicious intent or revenge porn, which is something OCC's forum has always been strictly against. After all, the whole point of this forum is for people who love women, who admire and enjoy photos of them, naked and otherwise. That is the basis for any porn site, but it is also a fact that all girls on here are somebody's friend, neighbour or loved one, many with spouses and families. However, the inescapable truth is that without these lovely ladies, porn sites would not exist at all. In the end you can only post what you find, but remembering to be respectful in what you post, regardless of who it my be.
As to the original question posed on here by HeWhoDares, I don't think I could post photos gleaned from another person's computer, as why take the risk? There is always a temptation to save them, that is natural, but that is all. And with people you know, you would have to consider their home life, if the lady was happily married, plus how it would affect them if, for example, her hubby had posted her to lovingly show her off, but she didn't know. It might put a good marriage at risk. That's why I stick to my signature philosophy, where all my girls are finds from the net. It's safer that way, and I'm just reposting what is already out there.
By the way, my quoting from supersmoothy's post wasn't meant as any slight on him. Far from it. You made good points. I just thought it was a good post to quote from to put my own (long) opinion in on the subject.
