Sources / Credits for all Images Required. Important .. read before posting pictures.

model_mom · 10-08-2005

All photos and news items in supporting cast must be linked back to the source they were taken from. If they are taken from another site, they must be given credit. This has been our policy all along and it's time to enforce it.

IF YOU POST A PICTURE AND DO NOT GIVE CREDIT TO THE SOURCE IT WILL BE DELETED. Supporting cast is a huge forum but it is going to dwindle down to nothing if pictures aren't credited. This is a legal matter that we have neglected to enforce for too long. Please help us out with this.

And by crediting it means you have to write the link to the website you found the images from on each post. It is quiet impossible for us to click on every pictures trying to search for a source.

If it's a scan from a magazine that you did yourself, do you have to link to the magazine's website?

model_mom · 10-08-2005

just list the magazine and photographer.

funnyfan · 10-08-2005

What if you don't know the photographer? I'm always scanning adverts, but I don't usually know who is photographing them.

model_mom · 10-08-2005

then just credit the source of the scans.

Golden_butterfly · 10-08-2005

Thank you MM, this will help Supporting cast from being a mess and also make it so much more easier to browse now

iperlchen · 10-08-2005

Thanks for clearing it up, it never was quite obvious to me that you had to credit the source. So I get that -if known- it's also required to add the names of the responsible staff behind the pic?

Great rule.

**MulletProof** · 10-08-2005

good.
now, may i ask *dumb* : are we really in need to do this even if the URL is clear enough? i mean, hosted pics should be credited, i agree but some are just so obvious, especially when taking from a site like gettyimages.

Golden_butterfly · 10-08-2005

The ones which are obvious like Gettyimages doesn't need to be credited.

acester · 10-08-2005

irmelle · 10-08-2005

i think this is a good idea. it will be hard, but i can get used to it. just like hotlinking images- i got used to saving then using tinypic or imageshack.
thanks for reminding us!

model_mom · 10-08-2005

If you find a picture without a source don't post it .

model_mom · 11-08-2005

Thanks to everyone for all their effort to help with this tonight. We are not going back into threads but will only take care of current images posted from here on out. All of us appreciate the time many of you spend in making "supporting cast" one of the best model sites on the net.
