some clarification

[gypsyjolie]

1. A megapost is a post of 30+ pictures, so no more confusion on that :)

2. We ask that there be NO reposting of pictures posted here to fansites, due to the nature of the purloined images from commercial sites. Scans are re-postable, professional photoshoots are NOT. We don't want to get shut down, nor for the fansites that repost the images to

Should we start doing this on the other communities as well?

[gypsyjolie]

no, I don't want to. Not unless you want to make the whole community friends only, which I am okay with if you really want to do it. The main reason that I think this is so problematic for this comm is that there are a couple of LJ users that we get photos of the guys from that I know for certain are getting (great but) chancey photos, and those photos are being posted here.

I take risks posting newswirte photos on hires_angelina but I'm not as worried about that as I am of a particular photographer or licensing service (Icon, etc) chasing me down.

If you want to make a case for making everything "friends only", reply here. I'm open to discussion.

I've been thinking about making hires_natalie completely friends-only, just to be on the safe side, and because I'm afraid some of the pictures are the same ones posted on fansites and I don't want that to somehow cause problems, like getting the sites shut down or angering the webmasters of those sites for possibly reposting "their" photos.

Also, it would be easiest if I made it friends-only now instead of some other time, since there's not very many posts yet.

I didn't want to do it, but I agree. I'm making hires_angelina and hires_hotties friends only tonight too. There's been too much fuss and kerfuffle this past week about copyright and such. Why can't people just relax and enjoy the pics???

:)

Damn, I would help you out with hires_hotties by making my posts friends-only, but I'm going to be gone for a few days and I'm leaving really soon. Well, if you're still not done by the time I get back for some reason, I'll do what I can! I do have time to do hires_natalie right now, though.

[sultrydame]

Do you need my help with hires_hotties' requests? If so, I will help out when I can! ;)

[gypsyjolie]

Please feel free to post requests! TI'd love the help, it seems like I get several requests a day and work's been really busy and I don't have time everyday to post requests. All i ask is that you post a repply to the person's request post in the official request thread so that I can see at a glance that it has been filled.

Also, after the kerfuffle that happened at the different hires sites this weekend, I think that we should make all the communities friends only. It'll hide us from the photographer/pictures services as well as from anonymous trolls. What do you say? I'm making hires_angelina and hires_hotties friends only today anyway. You can decide about hires_hunks.

[sultrydame]

Yeah, let's do it. It's probably much easier that way.
