Geeklog Forums

Hello,I'd just like to ask a few questions.Where and who do i go to for someone posting my picture/s on a site that has GeekLog at the bottom?They put my pictures up illegally,which means WITHOUT my permission.I'd like to have my pictures removed.Thank you,L.D.

You should contact the administrator of that site. Geeklog is the script they use to power the site and has nothing to with the content of said site.

Good Luck

Hello and thank you for that info but i did ask this person to remove my pictures.They deleted my posts.Can someone tell me where i go from here?My friend told me to get the police involved,i'm not sure i want to do that...yet.So,where do i go from here?

Hmmm...

Well, I'm someone who runs an image-based community where users can post images. At times (despite the fact that our rules clearly state that people posting images must have permission from the copyright holder) we have had issues with people posting illegally. If a copyright holder contacts me about any images of theirs being posted, I ban the user who did so (or at least give them a thorough dressing-down) and apologise to the copyright holder.

That having been said, there have also been times when my artwork and photography has been posted without permission on other sites.
Depending on the sort of website it was posted on, quite often if your post is deleted the first time, intimidation can (sadly) be very affective in getting them removed.
Despite the fact that it's terrible netiquette, I'd almost be inclined to go and post on every single board of theirs stating what happens. Almost.

I would definitely suggest emailing the administrators privately and asking them what's happening.
While very improbable, it is possible that the post was deleted accidentally. I know that on my forums, it has happened occasionally that a post has been deleted with none of the administrators doing so. It's not at all likely, but it is possible.
If that doesn't work, maybe try posting again - something icily polite but very, very intimidating.

If that doesn't work, you should do a whois to see who owns the domain and where they are hosted. Most web hosts have terms of service that means that they will delete the account of anyone who is infringing someones copyright. I'd do that before getting the law involved. I've had to do that to someone once and it worked very effectively, since they never rebuilt their website.
