Since Dave had made it very clear that posting copyrighted images is clearly against the ToS, I'll devote some of my time to go through as many threads as I can to see if there's anything to be removed. I'll only remove questionable images, not anything you've written. For posts made before today, there shall be no infraction and any reports are welcome to point me in the right direction. 

However, if someone posts blatantly copyrighted images from this point on, said person shall be infracted accordingly.

Now, I realize it's not always clear if the image is copyrighted, so my prime focus shall be on watermarked pictures. Meanwhile, you're strongly advised to try to use clear sources only, such as the wikimedia commons.

I have to ask you guys to refrain from posting any images for now, since the matter must be clarified.

Incidentally, for a picture on the WIkimedia Commons, if you click on the "Use this file on the web" link, you'll be able to get some BBCode you can simply copy and paste, like so:


John Bel Edwards

TRUMAN 58-766-06

It's attribution is a bit more verbose than Kal's minimum standard, but it'll certainly do and requires very little effort since you only need to copy and paste,
