PICTURE BLACKLIST, Read this BEFORE you post a picture - UPDATED 22 MAY Options

[ladsnet]

As an ongoing consequence of running a large, high-traffic, open forum there are often subjects and pictures that we cannot allow to be posted for one reason or another.
This may seem like the moderators throwing their weight about or being draconian or overly authoritarian.. but all picture bans have a valid reason. Whilst these reasons may not seem important to you, we are legally responsible for what is published on this site and our number one aim in moderating the forums is always to protect the site so it can continue.


The main reasons for banning subjects or pictures are:

If we receive a legal request that pictures are not published for copyright reasons
Sometimes we will receive a request to remove a set of pictures because the subject or the rights owner objects to them being posted here. As the primary aim of the site is to share images in good faith, we must respect these requests. The pictures are removed and added to the blacklist so that they are not reposted.

If the pictures break the rules of the forum
Usually applies to porn or home sex video images. Sometimes it's borderline on whether pictures break the rules. If we decide they do, they are added to the blacklist for future clarification.

If we believe that posting the pictures will lead to the rules being broken
Often used when a celeb has done porn at some point in their career. We ban ALL images of celebs who have done porn. We have found in the past that the posting of "normal" pictures of a celeb who has done porn will usually lead, further down the thread, to the porn pictures being posted. For this reason we blanket ban the celeb's pictures.

If we believe that the pictures are being used primarily as advertising or spam for another website
We have quite generous rules on using the site to promote your site or blog. As long as you are posting pictures on fmf.. we don't mind giving your site a bit of publicity. However, in certain circumstances this is abused and our site is used purely for free advertising. Also, people try to post links that we do not allow (eg to porn sites). If we believe that certain celebrities or images will be used for these purposes, we may add them to the blacklist.

The current blacklist (subjects that must not be posted) is below.

Please do not jump to the conclusion that because a celebrity is listed below, they have a problem being on a 'gay website' and are therefore homophobic. There are many many reasons we do not allow pictures.

Due to past incidences of abusive and offensive posts, we do not allow open discussion of the blacklist - so this is a closed topic.

Latest updates in bold.
