rouge red Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hey folks. Well... I just want to ask if it would be wanted/possible to credit pictures before posting them. I know that many ppl would prefer that they would be credited when their scans or founds are credited, and I myself like it a lot b/c it's a good help to find more pics. (for example bwgreyscale - without ppl crediting that source I wouldn't have found it) And it's polite... I don't want that all pics in the forum have to be credited, but at least in the picture threads it would be nice (what i mean: if i post a pic from vs in the girl's section i wouldn't say it's needed to credit it. but credits to magazine scans from other forums etc would be great). Sorry if I sound confusing Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aida Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Susanna I love you. I really sometimes get pissed when someone posts pictures who someone else scanned and with no crediting... Seriously, that's some people's hard work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I am all for crediting (Y) Partially b/c someone once took my Gisele candids that I took with my digicam, and claim it as their's <_< And I hate it when people hotlink from my image-hosting accounts w/o giving me credit. I don't care if you hotlink from me, but at least give me credit. Also, a lot of posters, scanners, and video capturers put a lot of efforts in finding materials, uploading them, and posting them. They deserve the recognition for their hard work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkCouture Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 ^ With the excepetion of VS, which I assume everyone knows it is from there b/c of it's "distinctive" style of photographing things , If I was not the one who found/scanned the picuture(s), I give credit to the person did If it is a series of posts, I always indicate credit either in the first or last post. I feel giving credit encourages members to post more. Also, there are quite a few people her who has paid getty and wireimage accounts, but they don't post anymore b/c other keep on taking images they post and not crediting them. Yes, techinically these images aren't their's, however they did paid for them and they were nice enough to share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalSin Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Well I wouldn't want to make it an absolute requirement to credit pics like the Fashion Spot, but I would encourage people to give credit whenever they know the picture's source Like rouge_red said, it's polite, and it helps other people find more pics.
