Is it safe to assume that things may not be hotlinked from BZ's server? I just saw someone on tFS who posted a pict that's hotlinked from our server.
Its fine, I can adjust my server settings if it gets out of hand. We would appreciate credit (which tFS ususaly does) so no worries.
Hey all, glad we're back in business! 
Received a query from the member Ramsfan regarding a thread he wants to start in the 'Other Females of Interest' section. Do we allow topics for girls who do blogs, fashion or otherwise?

Thanks for responding. I don't think it is something that has gotten out of hand nor do I foresee it happening. I just wanted to make sure it was ok

Who does he want to start a thread for?

Got another PM from him and I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick at first. He has some pics that he plans to post in 'Other Females of Interest', and he wants to know if he can provide links to the sources (which in this case are blogs) as a way of giving credit.
^ I guess as long as he does not post anything that blatantly promotes the blog like "For more images visit..." or "Go to this site..." it is ok
If he credits the site w/o hyperlinking that would be ok too.

I'll let him know. Much obliged, Pinky!
Along with the inquiry in my last post 
, the enter button suddenly doesn't work when I try to post here 
and its the only time it doesn't work.
Our Spam Monitoring Service expired and there is a new security patch out. I emailed MD to get them both taken care of.
JA: As for your inquiry in your previous post, it might be something MD can adjust
PC, the spam service has been reenabled. Sorry 
It expired on Christmas 
And Joe, have you tried a diff browser or clearing cache? I havent seen that issue before.
Yeah, it hasn't worked yet. My current remedy is typing a dash or period on the line I want the space to be and then editing the post afterward to delete the dash or period afterward
If no one has any objections, I would like to alter the Model ID rule regarding thread starter confirmations . I would ideally like for that alteration to be something to the measure of if the thread starter hasn't visited the site in two or more years, two or more outside confirmations can then be the equivalent of their confirmation.
...If no one has any objections, I would like to alter the Model ID rule regarding thread starter confirmations
Great idea, JA! I was thinking if the starter has not confirmed the ID(s) have been fulfilled after 6 months (or so) we could move it to a subfolder in the Archive section. I do agree if two or more members have confirmed the ID(s) it could be considered equivalent.
PM from michelabella:
is plastic surgery talk allowed? it seems just as controversial as weight talk...and seems so gossip site ish. was just wondering cuz I know some forums dont allow it.
i think its kinda funny though.
I do see her point as it is the type of thread that would be heavily baiting in nature and promote bashing.
What do the rest of you think?
Yeah, that time frame and the archiving thing sound great to me as the more cluttered that forum gets, the lesser the likelihood of many of them getting identified anyway. At least there's probably a handful that may even be obvious to many members but they won't even see them because they're constantly bumped away and buried .
I think she has a good point and has always been one of the most sensible members in general. I wouldn't want to limit free speech to the degree of totally doing away with it, but would prefer to just edit the conversation as a case by case basis if it gets out of hand. I wouldn't protest the opposite verdict though as I myself don't generally indulge in such discussions much anyway. Well, no I take that back, I do make mention to those who looked better before the implants but try to leave bad face jobs alone at least.
I can certainly see where michelabella is coming from on that - given the subject matter, the potential for the thread to degenerate into lunacy will most likely be a constant. That being said, everything I've read up to now has been pretty civilised. I think I'd probably vote just to keep a close eye on proceedings and edit when necessary.
Prettyphile please stop posting SI images, either whole or in part. They are escalating the threat of legal action against BZ and you (and waking me up at 7am 
with phone calls)
If anyone sees images from SI 2013 either whole or part, please delete them immediately. If this continues I will lock the thread. Sorry
Done and done boss man. I seriously didn't think they'd be this anal over a couple disjointed pictures.
Yeah supposedly si is freaking out don't know why. Thanks
Total bullshit since so many sites, including their own, have the picts up.
Pretty: maybe you can post the scans somewhere else where members can find. Like a link on twitter.
I don't want to risk it hun. Legally they can be put up Monday at 12am.. so I'll wait till then
Did you see the Forbes article on you PC?
