My visage has been posted many times. Plus details of my actual name and address.

I didn't moan then and I still won't bother.

I want to use my own images on the internet

If you have created the images yourself, you are generally free to use them as you wish.

However, there are some instances where you may not do what you like which includes situations where:

you are an employee working for a business or individual, and create images during the course of your employment (you would need the employer’s permission);
you take a photo of a work that is protected by copyright (for example, taking a photo of a painting at a modern art gallery) – this could result in your photo itself being an infringement of copyright;
you have agreed that the copyright in images you have created will belong to someone else;
you have been commissioned to take photos by a third party for private and domestic purposes (for example, wedding photographs) and you do not have their permission to put them on the internet;
you have granted an exclusive licence to someone else; or
you have agreed to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement, embargo or other contract which restricts or prohibits such action

I want to stop someone using the image I created in a way I do not approve of or have not approved

If somebody is making use of your images without your permission, there are a number of options open to you as the copyright owner.

Although you do not have to, it is usually sensible to try to resolve the matter with the party you think has infringed your copyright. This may save you time and money, and it may be necessary to show a court that you have tried to solve the matter with the other party. Mediation is one way of resolving an issue before starting court proceedings. The IPO offers a mediation service which can help to resolve intellectual property disputes – including copyright – without going to court.

If you cannot resolve the matter with the other party, then going to court may be the right solution. But it would be a good idea to seek legal advice at an early stage.

Besides infringing your copyright, it is also possible that somebody may infringe your ‘moral rights’, which are legal rights enforceable by the authors of copyright works.

When people use your images, they should do so respectfully, even if they have your permission to use them. If you have ‘asserted’ your ‘moral right’ to be credited for creating the photo, then that user should acknowledge you as the creator.

Such an assertion is often made by written contract or may be embedded in the image with metadata.

As the creator, you will also have the moral right to object if people alter your work in a way that is negative to your reputation (known as “derogatory treatment”). If you take the matter to court, you would usually need to establish evidence that your reputation may have been harmed.

Not the point. At which stage do you decide what is permissable or not?

If you and others decide on full unpublished forum principles which may or not sit in line, you are acting as judge and jury which, for me is not acceptable.

I don't like willy nilly censorship.

Wait....what?

Posting pictures of yourself = permissible.
Posting pictures of someone else who has told you it is fine to post a picture of them - permissible
Posting pictures of someone else who has not given you permission to do so - not permissible

This isn't willy nilly censorship - this is a widely accepted protocol.

A current poster on here complained as he was in that photo.
The photo was removed.
The thread was subsequently deleted.
Live with it.

If the moderation of a private forum is not acceptable to you, you have the option to leave. It's your choice: accept it, or fuck off. Of course moderators act as judge and jury, it's a fucking chat forum not a high court!

Over a decade of this nonsense again and again and again.

"Slick" seems inappropriate as a moniker for you. Anything but.

Do go on. It helps your postcount. Not sure I've read or commentated on someting you have engaged in.

In short you get the colour "bland". Try and wriggle out of that.

You are an infant. Is there enough heating in your basement flat?

You are going nowhere. I'm attacking principles not appalling ideology.

By the way. Been in High Court with a judge who was known as a hanging judge from South Africa.

Instead of a reasoned debate, this has turned, via posters like you, into an attack on the poster, not the thread.

And there you go again, ignoring the substance of the replies to you. All you've got is this ridiculous gimmick of trying to act superior to everyone. You're nobody here, globus - you don't have any high ground to hold over any of us. Either you stop acting like forum moderation is some great conspiracy against you (and stop being so insanely weird about respecting other people's right to privacy), or accept that perhaps these forums aren't for you. There's no higher authority to appeal to, no badge to wave, no old contacts to tap up to get this fixed. It's on you to adapt or belt up (or leave).

Over to you.

I don't tell ASMO what to do with his creation as I trust him to do what he thinks is best. That's my logic.

I simply am not interested in your opinion. If you think moderators are the lords and masters of this universe and you bow down in their presence, that's a problem for you to solve, not me.

Never, ever told Asmo to do anything. I think the last post to him was thanks for the "spoiler" button.

Have a word with the Press. You don't know what a "widely accepted protocol" is.
If it does exist, it's not enshrined in law, as the law makers won't go anywhere near it to avoid accusations of censorship.

Is this for me?

If so - interesting that you tell me to grow up when you are complaining against a logical argument because you feel a bit silly that you got called out for your own mistake.

Admitting when you are wrong is the cornerstone of 'growing up'.

You'll do. Being "wrong" is just a view or opinion of others who have a different vista.

I'm happy to go out on a limb and expose those who attack me when they themselves have more to answer for than myself.

Dude - you posted a photo of someone on the forum without them approving it. You being wrong in this case isn't an opinion from someone with a different view - you're wrong because you made a mistake.

Now in your embarrassment you are acting out. Take a step back and just be a little bit more humble.

Too problematical! "When you are as great as I am, it's hard to be humble".

I'm used to the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes".
