Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Best Melons, Post pics of your favorite melons

Yeah, I agree with all of the points that had been made. I'd just like to say that the two pictures that I posted last night were from the main page. I would *not* post a picture that someone had taken down. Way uncool.

But as I didn't have permission to post, I have deleted the pictures from my posts.

And I did originally agree to have my pictures posted in this thread, because, hey they're already in my thread, they already can be seen by anyone, and I haven't taken them down. But I don't think I thought that through--thanks to closeup's posts,  I know that If I suddenly want all my pictures gone, it's out of my control, and I don't like that.

So I think Gnappy's idea about hotlinking was best, or else the girls should post their own pictures.

Yes I think so too, that should work good, I will ask Imagonsgirl if she minds hers in here it was in the shower thread I saw it when I was looking for mine.

Well since I started the thread I should clarify some things. While this thread was meant to be a picture thread of members' favorite pics of other members, it has turned into a rights of posting thread.

While I believe that once a picture is posted, it is free to use as a person pleases, as long as there is no copyright infringement. I understand if a member posts a picture, then takes it down seconds, minutes, hours, or days later. But, once they have posted that picture, is it not free for all to consume of?

I understand that these ladies may not want their pictures reposted and not be under their management to take down. I never meant this thread to be bad towards any member, but rather a praise thread.

I indeed asked several of these women for the OK to post these pics. The majority explained it was OK as long as it was on this thread only. But, after thinking it over, I have decided to take down every picture post I have made, as it no longer a picture thread.

By the way....how many members have seen the Paris Hilton Video's??? I doubt she wanted those out for public consumption, yet we still have seen them. Since any of you have seen the video's have you thought of what she wanted (Not for home viewing)??

[Philip2122]

Also, I did not post any private message pictures. I would also like to clarify that only one member PM'ed me with concern towards this post. I would've thought more people would've come to the source rather than "beating a dead horse."

You know I think I am the only one that hasn't seen the paris movie if anyone has it I would like to see:P


I did see the pam anderson one though.

I can see the points of all sides and as somfan posted no laws are being broken. WITH THAT though I suppose it comes down to the politics of this board, we are a little community here friends or what have you and if girls that post here start loosing the control of there photos being up or not might make them no longer want to post which would lead to no reason for this site to begin with??? The pics in the forum also arent watermarked like on the main page.

Way to sidestep the issue COMEDYMAN.

I'm with Pay 100% on this one. When a picture is posted, then taken down, it's taken down for a reason. For someone to save it then repost it is not cool. That goes even more so if you got it in a PM. As far as I can remember, this practice is out of bounds. If the women wanted the picture to stay on the boards, they would have left it up in the first place. The ONLY way a thread like this should be allowed is if the women themselves post their personal favorites (of themselves). If you can't understand the reasoning for this, than think a little harder. Also it should be added that when you "Reply" and "Repost" someones picture, you take contol away from the poster. i.e. they lose the ability to take it down. I think this thead should be closed down immediatly and anyone who's posted someone else's picture should have the decency to delete it own their own without having to be told again. This is a very slippery slope you guys are starting down and if the women get reluctant to post or drop out of RMM because of it we're all going to be worse off.

Closeup, I am just wondering if you think members will be responsible enough to take down pictures that are in a reply such as the post you made today:

http://www.ratemymelons.com/chat/index.php...ic=302&st=540&#

See Post #556 of this thread.

In your reply you have posted the previous pic from another member. What will happen when she takes down her pic? Will it be removed automatically from your reply as well?

Is this considered posting a pic without approval? What's your thoughts on this issue?

Maybe CLOSEUP can also answer who's tits are swinging around beneath everyone's Avatar?

And does the owner know her tits are swaying around on every single post made on RMM?

Whoever's tits those are swinging under every post have been swinging long before I joined RMM. I have no idea who they belong to or if any permission was asked or granted.

Secondly, pictures can be taken down independently using the edit button. Notice on the post you quoted that the picture is gone from my post but still up in hers. And I plead guilty to the oversight of leaving it up as long as it was. It's probably the only repost I've done, and I didn't realize I'd done it until after you pointed it out. If you think it's okay to "save" pictures and then repost them, be my guest. If everyone else is okay with it, I guess I'll just be the odd man out.

Well.....from what you don't know, I did ask several of the ladies that I posted for permission first. Of course, you didn't know that though.

I did post some pics of members I don't know. But most of the pictures had to be recent, since I have only been a member for about 2 months at the most.

I took down all the pictures now, so I don't know if you won, or everyone else lost. Why don't you let me know.

Won? I'm all for the more pictures the better, it just seemed like the wrong way to do it. I also don't have any intention in getting into a pissing contest with you. I think if you had though out the consquences of reposting you would have started the second thread (A good one) and skipped the first.

[Philip2122]

Well, I just get upset when you get all pissy with the thread, without knowing any of the facts, just coming up with your own thoughts.

I agree with some of your thoughts, but as was said, no rules were being broken. As you know, I have since taken down the posts and am hoping the second thread will "Catch Fire" with the ladies especially.

[diane26]

Did someone mention a horse

HEHE Just trying to bring a smile.

[belicked6924]

You know how to do that, by posting your pics like you did in your thread

Holy SHit!!! Wasnt trying to start a fire just wanted people to think before they posted someone else's pics!!!!

I dont share or re-post pics myself, and many PM pics I receive are sent with the understanding that they are only for me. Phil, I wasnt implying you were posting pics without permission etc. I have been around here a bit and have seen threads in the past were someone posted someonelse's pic and people got a bit angered about it.

As for the avatars etc. Freak, the site owner, has already asked that if a lady sends a personalized pic to you, dont use it in your avatar, but post it in your 411 and link it in your sig. The tits swaying in the boards are built into the site.

Hey Diane, got that dead horse thingy still?

[juicy_DD]

I hear that...I am absolutely infatuated with her body!

gotta be BTS

Hey dude, if by "pissy" you mean stating my opinion in clear, concise language, then getting pissy is what I'm all about. If that's not what you meant then

Mmm, I was talking about Kizzlescizzle there, but I certainly love BTS too!

While I understand "public domain" and all the legalese, and find Paris Hilton's video a completely different topic, MY main point was your statement that you had more pics of Kiki "for anyone that wanted them".

IF someone is giving permission, it should be stated. And I don't mean to be "harsh". But, several of the women have mentioned reluctance to continue posting/shyness about posting/fear or uneasiness or confidence with posting/etc. It appears the folks managing this site are pretty vigilant about people posting from other sites and/or other media. I would assume anything posted here that gets "pirated" elsewhere would be dealt with in a similar fashion. THAT is what helps instill confidence for some posters.

Sort of like the banking/financial crisis in the US circa 1988-1992, when FIRREA changed the reserve requirements for "thrift" institutions, putting many out of business with a mere journal entry. When FDIC started paying out on deposits in excess of the statutory $100,000 limit, many people screamed loud and long about the statutory limit. The response from FDIC and RTC (Resolution Trust Corp.)? "It would ruin the confidence in our financial structure!" (BTW, they already "ruined" it when they had S & Ls buying up other S & Ls on the precept that taking over deposits could be "booked" as "goodwill", which they subsequently obliterated on a whim).

Same here: if people are confident posting here but folks, in spite of a "community" feel, start to go on about "public domain" and "fair use", or worse, using someone else's "wrong" to make everything else "right", it destroys the confidence many feel here, and ONLY here.
