I'm so tired of w*1dc@rd$!

**Al Gebra** · 06-26-2009, 11:35 PM

Is it really necessary to encrypt thread and magazine titles like M*yf*ir Magazine, Blüé Clímáx, ColClim, N*w C*nts, P*nthouse, P*nk, pl@yb0y, S*v*nt**n, S*I*L*W*A, S*x Org*es in Color, S*xy Girls... ? Just to mention a few. Or is it only bad habit? It makes searching VEF a real pain in the a...

And, of course, I'm talking only about stuff that is allowed on VEF!

Its actually pretty simple and important why you need wildcards. Big websites and companies like M*yf*ir etc use what they call spy bots-these are small clever programs that scour newsgroups, websites, forums and other things looking for instances of their usage and report back with their findings-its then that these companies can swing into litigation mode and threaten the forum, group, newsgroup etc with closure or court cases. By using wildcards you help to confound these bots so they find it harder to find any mentions-of course we(speaking as an ex Mod here) rely on members to read the rules first before posting anything-it is through their co-operation that forums survive-if not well you could kiss goodbye to a lot of material, and I do mean a lot. One forum was completely decimated of pictures, videos etc and had to undertake a much stricter policy of posting. The general rule is please if you are posting anything from any BIG website(a list can be found here somewhere) use stars or other characters to spell out a name. I hope that helps for future use, but remember this you might not like it but without it, this place would be decimated of virtually everything commerical(and by that I mean pics from Sc*re and Pl*yb*y etc) and I am sure you wouldn't want that.

I understand what you are saying greenman. But some words don't need the '##. And anyone out to shut down a site won't worry about such things. They will use copyrighted material instead. But as you say caution is a good idea.

**Bovon** · 06-30-2009, 06:18 AM

I'm not here to diminish what Greenman has written previously - he has much experience of Moderating this Forum (And very well, in my personal opinion). However, (And there are professional photographers on this site who can probably clarify the situation much better than I can), the situation is as far as I can understand it, is that if a Photographer organises a photoshoot, pays the model, get the release forms signed etc, then the Copyright of those photos remain with the Photographer and NOT with whichever magazine publishes them. Therefore, all the major mags with the ****** etc in their names when appearing on this site can kiss our collective ar*ses, they can't claim infringement of their copyright. Now, if a magazine pays for the shoot - Pl*b*y for instance, and then the published pics appear on here (and OBVIOUSLY if a magazine logo is visible), well, you're on a hiding to nothing.
What I'm saying is, and this sort of paranoia appears much worse on other sites, is that let's put in into perspective. Most photographers today are probably Freelance, and would therefore hold the Copyright to their pics rather than a whole boatload of Mags.
Anyway, that's my 2-pennorth worth.

**Greenman** · 06-30-2009, 09:12 AM

I don't say they WILL do it, just it could happen and it has happened-anyone who remembers anothersite.co.uk forum will know what I am talking about-I think common sense should prevail-obviously not all sites need stars etc but I think the really big ones should and do need them just to be careful. I have read the comments made and agree with them-this is not scare tactics, just making others aware of what can happen.
