Yes, bring back the ability to post images. Also, ban the sh** out of Joseph.

My feeling is that we bring images back, but incorporate into the rules the following:

1. All images that are copyright must be credited.

2. No Facebook images allowed. My personal feeling is that if we just completely stay away from ANY Facebook images, we will steer clear of opening a huge can of worms. Maybe if someone wants to share their OWN Facebook images, that could be the exception here.

3. No pictures of other posters allowed...period. If someone wishes to post THEIR OWN picture, that is fine.

4. Joseph needs to keep his word on what he promised to Shades. I would also like to add that if Joseph does notice an image that he thinks is questionable, he has the courtesy to PM the poster who posted the image and dialogue with them. Joseph, in his zeal to help out artists, may not be privy to all of the circumstances surrounding the posting of a photo. As in the case with Blixa, she actuallly HAD CONTACT with the artist in question. That whole situation could have been avoided had Joseph merely chosen to TALK with Blixa one-on-one.

5. Any breaking of these rules would be cause for immediate suspension. The rules surrounding "outing" someone in in real life would result in not only banning, but IP banning as well.

Yes to images.

It might be possible ask that no personal images of others be posted. It seems to me that the problem was not so much the images, themselves, as it was that someone's family/personal pictures were uploaded. The extreme hostility that ensued engendered an extreme reaction.

I've never ignored anyone and I can't figure out how do it. Any help would be appreciated.

You can go to your User CP and click on "manage foes" and add the name manually, or you can click on Joseph's profile and click "add foe" under his avatar.

Get Joseph professional help for his anal retentive issues. He doesn't have a good grasp on what's important and whats not. He should go on a crusade against movie pirating and illegal song downloads.
