RULES: credit the source and use the Urban Showcase forum for self made images - Page 5

^ Burn! Another thing to do is if you see a pic you like and someone else has found and given it credit, then quote them.

It is a surprisingly simple thing to do!!

Taking a picture from a website and putting it in your photobucket without the photographer's permission is not exactly borrowing. But i guess it's ok as long as you post the source you stole the pictures from

Just an opinion , please dont give me an infraction , i already have enough of those.

a bump to remind people to credit, please!
I am finding many new threads are being made without credits.

***ikops*** · September 4th, 2008, 03:39 PM

Isn't it much simpler to just show the link (www. etcetera, etcetera) instead of the picture? It takes less time and you don't have to credit anymore. Furthermore, you don't have to scroll as much through all the threads and all the 'quoted' pictures.

But that would defeat the point of a photograph thread; it would become a reference thread instead. It is quick and easy to breeze through someone's photo thread, but if you had to follow every link it could take up to an hour to wade through 50 or 60 links. SSC allows people to post other's photos; they are just asking that they do a little bit of referencing work when they save the pictures they find. To copy and paste a reference link is very easy!

***ikops*** · September 5th, 2008, 02:41 PM

Well, okay, hope you don't mind that I only give links to pictures when from someone else. We can all browse through websites and look for pictures ourselves.

That is fine as a quick reference in an existing thread, but don't make a new thread here in Cityscapes of just photo links, please, as that is not a photothread. It takes a bit of work, but the photos have to be uploaded via something like Photobucket, and then posted with a proper credit. Thanks

***ikops*** · September 5th, 2008, 04:56 PM

Don't worry, there are already way too many threads, in my opinion. I don't intend to add even more of them.

***Taller, Better*** · September 7th, 2008, 04:28 PM

No problem! I wasn't worried.

***Taller, Better*** · September 10th, 2008, 04:30 PM

I AM GOING TO MAKE A REQUEST (FOR ABOUT THE THOUSANDTH TIME) THAT EVERYONE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW THE RULES OF THE FORUM. ALL PHOTOS
IN CITYSCAPES FORUM MUST HAVE A CREDITATION AS TO WHERE YOU GOT THEM.
IT IS A WASTE OF MY TIME TO HAVE TO SEARCH FOR NON EXISTENT CREDITS AND
I HATE DELETING PHOTOS, BUT IT SEEMS IN SOME CASES THAT IS THE ONLY THING
THAT WILL CATCH PEOPLE'S ATTENTION. WHEN YOU SAVE PICTURES FROM THE
INTERNET, CUT AND PASTE A CREDIT. IF YOU TAKE THE PHOTOS YOURSELF, TELL US.
IF THEY ARE YOUR OWN PHOTOS, THREADS SHOULD BE POSTED IN URBAN SHOWCASE, NOT CITYSCAPES. I AM HOPING THIS IS CLEAR AND WILL AVOID FURTHER MISUNDERSTANDINGS. THANK YOU!

***Taller, Better*** · November 7th, 2008, 03:27 PM

NOTE TO ALL

If you post photos in this Cityscapes and Skylines forum without credits as to who took the photos or where you got them, they will be deleted. Please do not be lazy... copy the information when you save the pictures. Thank you

***Taller, Better*** · January 6th, 2009, 07:26 PM

A bump to remind everyone to properly credit all photos in this section, regardless of who took them. If we are posting our own photos, or those of another SSC member (with permission, of course) they go in the Urban Showcase section. Thank you.

maison09 · April 24th, 2009, 03:13 AM

Thank you so much for your sharing

***Taller, Better*** · April 24th, 2009, 06:37 PM

You are welcome.

Muttie · September 30th, 2009, 08:02 PM

Is it a problem when I would like to post my own, not really high quality photos (so thats why in my opinion they do not deserve a seperate thread in the Urban subforum) in this subforum?

orionbeta1 · February 20th, 2011, 04:45 PM

This rule is a big mistake. Gradually it will take away all the peoples who makes threads, because if the moderators keep deleting the threads that have no credit, will rest only 1% of it. People will leave. For exemple, I don't have ANY idea of the name of the photographers of my photos that are in my computer. I can create a fake name and say that the photos is of him, to you see how this rule doens't make any sense!

Xtartrex · March 23rd, 2013, 04:47 AM

2013 already, how many people still post pictures without the source? It makes me wonder who actually obeys the rules.

***christos-greece*** · March 23rd, 2013, 11:12 AM

When posting photos here in "cityscapes and Skyline Photos" (photos from: flickr, photobucket, google etc) al forumers, should copy - paste the link with the photo in every post you made. Uncredited photos are not accepted and the moderator of this forum, like me they will deleted those uncredited ones with no further notice.
The rules are simply here.
