Not trying to argue with the rules or anything. I just want to clarify this rule and it's punishments for everyone on this forum.

I pulled a hit and run on the thread and didn't stop in long enough to read the entire scope of what was being discussed.

Graeme and I just finished talking about our thoughts on this issue and have come to the conclusion that this will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Obviously we don't want to ban or give infractions. Especially not for simple mistakes. We're moderators and we realize that we need to exercise personal moderation instead of being ban/point happy.

If we can determine that someone made a choice to break the rules or had malicious intent in posting a personal/private picture of someone that deserves punishment.
More often than not a problem with someone's personal picture will be a simple mistake so we don't anticipate having to hand out points very often.

You don't have to fear repercussion for the pictures you post in that thread so don't stop participating in it. The last thing we want is for people to be going internet CSI on a picture of some hottie they found on another forum because they don't want to be banned.

Personally, I would not give points in that case. I have not given points in situations like that before, where the poster is caught unaware that they are posting locals. In fact, I have made the mistake of posting locals in that same way. Usually, people will post in the thread (often stupidly quoting the offending images) and will ask for them to be taken down.

In the event that they are not, a mod will usually step in and delete them. If they are reposted, or if the individual has been informed but they are not taken down or willfully left in place, that is when points would be awarded.

Thanks for clearing this all up.

Nwen, since you've edited your first post to ask "since when has this been a discussion", the answer is "since people needed to talk/ask about it.
Posted via RS Mobile

there's that fine line between

1) it was posted on some random blog site (that appreciates good looking jb/wimmin)
2) it was haxx0red and spread like wildfire...

pics of girls just doing their camwhoring in the bathroom deserve to be up, it's they're probem, since they WANT the attention

NUDE pics of girls, that spread like wildfire, i can see myself taking those down, even though that totally made the old thread.

I've got pics on my phone and in my email inbox that were taken for me, meant for me, and stay with me. It would be an incredible violation of those people's trust for me to share their fine feminine form with anyone.

People who take those pictures aren't always looking to have their bodies lusted over by strangers.

JK.

I don't even see how this is a debatable topic. The rule exists for the sake of keeping RS a sane place.

there was a time, where pics of my friends were posted in the canucks thread by another user. he did not know them, it was random picture off someones facebook.

i saw that, and asked the op to remove - which he did.

same can be applied for the nws pics no?

vancouver is small compared to HK or Nam, so there is a good chance that someone is another persons sisters' best friend.

These are the rules set out, if you dont like them then LEAVE.

Can I post a picture of myself

are you local? if so, than NO!

:haha:

What if we posted pics of girls from Hong Kong and a fellow RS'er knew her. Then does the OP have to take her picture down? What if said RS member is in HK and knew her?

I've got a girl overseas--have had before too. If someone posted pics of her, I'd take them down. I'd do the same courtesy to anyone else who wanted the same done.
