Sorry guys, but I had to permanently remove the thread.

RepGeek has legal counsel on staff and we were unfortunately informed that there was/is pending legal action w a forum [NOT RepGeek or watch/our hobby related at all] where a member or members had posted a picture that was reported to authorities and by default, the forum and its members pictures, appropriate or not, were subject to further investigation.

As much as I would love to allow the pictures, we felt it was best and prudent for everyone here, to avoid any potential issue. I know it sounds ridiculous, but per counsel, this was a pressing matter that required my/our attention.

In today's sue happy society, I'm sure you can appreciate why I had to make such a decision.

Again, apologies.

So I imagine no kid pics correct... I guess understandable.

At times its a sad world that we live in

Are there any guidelines regarding what pictures can and can't be posted?
I thought that previously pictures just had to be 'work safe' but we seem to be beyond that.

I imagine it is just posting pictures of minors. (lots of freaky people out there...)

**J-C** · 05-11-2008, 12:33 AM

Exactly don. that's the nail on the head.

**jiro** · 05-11-2008, 03:34 AM

it's quite sad that we had to do that.....but at the same time I feel sick for those ass**les out there.....

**Rizing Sun** · 05-13-2008, 07:05 AM

Totally sad decent people can not share family photos.

Unfortunate, but one should never post pictures of their children online.

F'n sickos ruin it for all.

Right to the gallows I say....

But that's another topic...
