| | | I BELIEVE THE POINT OF ALL THIS WAS NOT THE CENSORING THE PHOTOS, THE POINT IS THAT IT WAS DONE WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE OWNER OF THE PICTURES. And as for my comments, i will say what i think. This is for Avatar, and the moderators, if you wanted to avoid all this crap, all you had to do was ask the owners of the photos to edit them, or remove them, and they would have done so.

| | | Posted by Avatar-X Your legal arguments stand no ground, since there is no agreement as to what I can do with the photos once uploaded to me, in theory I can modify them to my hearts content and you could say nothing, since there's no statement indicating otherwise. We don't do this, however.
|
Uh, Av... I dunno what version of copyright you're reading, but UER has ZERO right to modify ANYONE'S copyrighted images, without express written consent. Your ONLY legal avenue was to delete the pictures. That is not a violation. Modifying them and then putting them back is as clear of a case of copyright violation as you can get. I would apologize to Turbo for this, if I were you. Regardless of whether or not he was consciously breaking the rules or not, that gives UER no right to break copyright laws. Your only avenues of reaction are to remove the pictures. I would also create a new rule stating that moderators have the authority to remove any "questionable" or "objectionable" content without warning or advance notice. If Turbo was a real dick, he could nail UER to the wall for this... or at least get your host to take you offline for a few days. But he's not. And the board owes him an apology.

| | | Oh some people, if you want Av to lose the whole site and alot of hard work over a silly little photo you people are worse than I thought. Yeah those are our images, but they are being hosted mostly on Av tab, and under his name. I think that gives him some right to contoll over them. That is even if it doesn't go along with copy write laws and freedom of speach and all the other stuff you all like to bitch about. Av wasn't threatning Turbo, he was simply stating the worse case senario.

Oh... Right Andrea... Good point. Kinda like if you park your car at a car park the car park owner can come along with a baseball bat and go mental on it yeah ? Him and his boys can have a great laugh raping your Subaru and shit on the dash, yeah ?? That's cool ? Cool. Chris...

I think the situation here is more akin to you've decided to decorate your car with pornographic pictures and the parking lot owner comes by and pulls them off.

Uh huh. He doesn't have the right to interfere with someone else property. He can ask it be removed, ban it from parking there or request it be repainted. He can't take the law into his own hands. Chris... PS: Fed up of the car analogy now - if you can't see how it applies to the situation here, don't post again.

| | | Posted by turbozutek Anyways, that's not the thing that's irking me so much anyways. It's the fact that this whole thing has been handled atrociously by a mod just barging in and editing a photo without even so much as a PM to myself.

I know how that feels. I had some photos deleted that were nowhere near bad. I think they were just interiors of the location. -Octane

This isn't a parking lot, and those are not a car. Those are !COPIES! (you still have a no cencored version and if you son't silly you) of an image that you are putting on some one elses site. Totally diffrent situation. Again some one is hosting this site and doing you a service and after one little thing, where the minimal was done people are bitching. In tyrpical UER fashion. Pre-school is back in session. He played with your toy, after you shared it and now you are pissed. That sounds like a better anaolgy to me. Not taking a car and causing thousands of dollars of perminate damage. And I wasn't even talking to you Chris I understood why you were mad to begin with, and then I read Av's simple reply to that- "if the mod's PM'ed people every time they made a change it would take 20 times longer to do". I don't see anything wrong with that considering when joining UER, and submiting images you are agreeing to follow the rules. The rules are not gonna get changed cause people don't understand them, Av is following the rules of the server which hosts his site.

What rules ? Can you please post the section specific to this matter Andrea ? You know the bit that excludes UER from complying with international photographic law and allows Av or anyone else Carte Blanche to rape my or anyone elses photos* ? Soon as you do you have won this debate fair and square. Yours expectantly, Chris... *As you know I don't take my 'photography' too seriously, but others, and others on this board use it as their very livelihood.

| | | Posted by Octane Somehow, I don't think the moderators are doing that great of a job. These have been up since the middle of August: [snip]pr0n links[/snip] How does that get explained?
|
I'd say it gets explained like this:
Posted by Avatar-X The mods are slowly working their way through all the location database entries. They will eventually reach these, and they will also be censored.

Well all I can find is this rule and the part where Av does you a favor. So I guess you win.
