Ok, I have deliberately kept out of the recent wars, BUT today I'm alerted to my avatar being ripped from this site and transplanted on to this sussexstreedsyd's avatar.
Let's be clear what has been done here - this photo is of a person who is neither a member of SGT nor PBB/TBB and it is NOT in the public domain. Likewise it has been stolen from a person who is not a member of PBB/TBB under this or any other name - it is a PRIVATE avatar on an anonymous forum. The boy obviously did NOT give his permission for his photo to be misused by a TBB member, so there is absolutely no justification for it being on the PBB/TBB site. He is not even Thai, he does not work in a bar, and the photo appears nowhere else except here on SGT. Nobody on SGT or GT or GB would DREAM of doing what has been done on PBB/TBB - in fact nobody with a shred of decency would do that.
So - let's see what the Controller of TBB is going to do about this - he says he is not 357sussexstreetsyd - if that's true then there should be no difficulty in FORCING the offending member to remove the stolen avatar as he has no genuine reason and no authorisation for using it.
So - here's a chance for Neal to do what is unquestionably the right thing. Let's see what happens.
