Well said to the both of you, but in another way of looking at it.... I don't see how Fred can keep his cool when so many of the same infractions are dripping with problems and rules being broken.
That being said, this place is only a sign forum and there is nothing wrong asking questions stemming from total ignorance to super in depth legit questions. However, no one here has a job other than the administrators and if they don't stop these people from hurting themselves or others, why should anyone else ??
To be honest, I didn't Stacy's post was at all sarcastic. I thought she was giving the OP the benefit of the doubt and was sharing some good advice on how to get the images he sought. We all know that doing something like this for a birthday present will probably fly under the radar, but I don't think we should show or tell someone how to break the law.... no matter how small the deed appears. A wrong is a wrong regardless of the size of it. Hence, why my intended 'to hit the nail on the head' post was written. I figured he needed to know. So, I guess I'm the heavy, but at least I'm constant.
In the last 15 years or so, many people have come into this business through many windows [sorry MAC users] and have no clue as to what should, could or would be industry standards. Therefore, why not set up new rules for the new guy on the block ?? After a while you get enough newbies and things will change. Take a look at anything going on around you today in your life. The abnorm has become the norm and we just accept it.
So, unless we stop wrong doings.... however slight they might appear on the surface, up front.... the harder it will be to stop problems later.
