4.17.8 Image Sources

When posting images on the forum, it is acceptable to post images that are coming from one of the following sources:

• direct link to your personal computer or server
• linked to your personal account from an image provider (i.e. Photo Bucket)
• linked to a source on our servers (Exp: We host you)
• uploaded to MartialTalk as an attachment

It is not acceptable to link to an image on another site without the permission of the site owner. Doing so is a theft of bandwidth and a violation of another company or person’s intellectual property. For more information on this you can refer to the Digital Millennium Act of 1998.

When posting a link to an image, video, or sound file from another site, MartialTalk Policies still apply to the offsite content. It is the discretion of the Forum Administrators and Moderators to remove links if they are considered to be questionable in content or violate Forum Policies.

Please consider our dial-up users when posting an image, the smaller the better. Please note that the moderators of each forum within our community may further refine this policy in regards to image and file size within their forums. The policy within each forum will govern the posting guideline for that specific forum. If there is no policy posted in particular forum, this policy will be in effect.

Is there a reason for this review?

No specific issue occurred. But we realized (after it was pointed out) that our policies on this are 20 years old, and both digital media and the internet have evolved a lot over that time.
