Poster solidarity! PICTURES NOW!

[_Simon Belmont]

Shades,

Hundreds of large message boards allow images.

What do they do differently?

[_Some Schmo]

Also, Simon Belmont has stated, point-blank, that he will post Joseph's brother's photos here just as soon as he can. Well, Joseph's brother obviously owns the copyright to those photos, so odds are that we'll get another DMCA takedown notice, and thus get shut down, just as soon as Simon does so. Ergo, in this case as well, I can't even THINK of reinstating images until Simon Belmont swears on his life that he will not post any photos that are the legal property of Joseph's brother (or Joseph himself, for that matter).

Way to go, Simon. Because of you, we'll never get pictures. Thanks a lot.

I've never responded well to threats. I hate bullies.

Are you willing to post images responsibly?
Are you still intending to post a photo of Joseph's brother if enabled? Or are you and a few other immature posters going to ruin it for everybody?

I swear I will not post Joseph's Brother's crappy images here, on MDB.

I'll make my own website or blog and post them there, as soon as I find them.

Again, I will not post them here.

p.s. Could you also please ban Joseph?

Uh, I never said or implied I would post a photo of anyone here.

The last time I reinstated images, Polygamy-Porter almost immediately posted two photos taken directly from the Deseret News.

Also, Simon Belmont has stated, point-blank, that he will post Joseph's brother's photos here just as soon as he can.

In other words, the lack of ability to post images has little to do with Joseph, and a lot to do with posters who refuse to exercise due and appropriate caution.

So while the majority of posters here would like to be able to post images legally and appropriately, we have the few who cannot contain themselves.

As in many cases, we are forced by a minority to disallow privileges for the majority. We are forced to the lowest common denominator, which in this case is: no images.

[_Simon Belmont]

Stop blaming this on me. I never said I would post any illegal images here on MDB. I did say I will seek out Joseph's brother's crappy images and post them, and I meant on my own website or blog (once I create such a website or blog).

So chill out.

Uh, is Shades lying?

Uh, thanks for promising not to post images of Joseph's brother here. Does that extend to other images which may be problematical? Do you even have an internal monitor that even tells you what is appropriate and what is not?

Quit blaming us for your lack of clarity. No one knows "what you mean"; we only know what you wrote.
