Official Board rules Question

[GamerEX]

Marie and other Super Moderators of this board,
I've re-read the board rules, specifically about posting pictures and had a few questions. First, I must explain that I'm trying to find the name of a model who posed on the April 2002 cover of Playboy Magazine.

BUT I read the official rules and under the section General Rules I saw this
"5. Posting a few (2-3 maximum in some cases) pictures to find a babe name is allowed, as long as the picture is not a Playboy, Suze Randall or Perfect 10 picture.

A few questions about this rule.
1. Does "as long as a picutre is not a Playboy, Suze Randall or Perfect 10 picture" mean ABSOLUTELY no pictures from them?
2. Or does it mean that I'm only allowed 1 pic per post?
3. Is there an exception for cover shots? Since the model I'm looking for is the cover girl, all I'd need to do to find her is to post the cover.
4. If I'm not allowed to post the pic here, am I allowed to post a Photobucket.com URL link in one of my posts?

Thanks,
GamerEX

Absolutely no Playboy pictures are allowed to be posted (hotlinked or attached image). No exceptions. However, you can post a link to a playboy picture or hosted gallery. So, that would be a yes to #4.

But this isn't always the case either Aces&Jacks, as I've had links deleted to Playboy hosted galleries! Or is this a new side rule not stated anywhere ?

Sorry to have to question you on this.

There are tons of Suze and Playboy pics (NOT links) posted here (maybe people are Photoshopping the watermarks off the pics, but they're PB and SR pics all the same), and FOs.com (main site) even promotes those two sites. lol I've seen jillions of Suze and PB pics posted as mod-approved attachments AND hotlinked in posts.

I've been curious about this as well. Good question. :thumbsup: :hatsoff: :nanner:

Maybe they were deleted for some other reason, I don't know why a link to a gallery was deleted. As long as Freeones isn't hosting the pic, it' should be OK to link to.

If pictures are altered to remove watermarks of sites or copyrights and no Mod recognizes the pic as belonging to Playboy or Suze or P10, nothing can be done about that. It's not like every Playboy picture is embedded in our brain. Many of these pictures are scanned, rescanned and altered again. Most, if not nearly all the models pose for other websites and photographers and those pictures get posted on the internet, and distinguishing between unmarked Playboy pics and pics of Playboy models from other sites is impossible. So, if you think we can or even have to recognize every possible picture that doesn't have a mark of some kind indicating that it is a pic from one of those sites is unrealistic. However, if the pic does have a watermark or copyright on it, it's deleted. And if you can show me "jillions" of these then I'll commence to deleting them.

I quote everytime one has been deleted - Deleted as link pictures are copyrighted. Do not link to Playboy pictures.

Yet like I say there hosted on a Playboy free preview site!

EDIT:
Plus I,ve also had Premium Link Upgrade , but they wasn't full sets. Only 15 pictures, I just called it a set, like I always do if there from the same shoot. Even if theres only 5 pictures, I still call it a set.

Surely mistakes have been made in moderation.

Almost any (legal) image hosted at imageshack and the like, that is then linked to in a post on the board for ID purposes will be allowed.

Most of the exceptions that I've seen are when a link is to a illegally hosted Playboy site, usually containing full sets. If the link was removed, and it was to a properly hosted set, then most likely it was a moderation mistake.

But to be clear again, in Aces & Jack's words:

Absolutely no Playboy pictures are allowed to be posted (hotlinked or attached image). No exceptions. However, you can post a link to a playboy picture or hosted gallery. So, that would be a yes to #4.
