Appeal to moderators: please remove offensive avatar

Post by Velojet »

Moderators, would you kindly remove the offensively sized avatar for user(s) Universal_Pictures/Paramount_Pictures?

It's not even as if it's an actual photo of the guy, but has been stolen from handbag.com, in contravention of their copyright.

He's already been given advice on how to change it for himself (see thread 'difference'), but has chosen to ignore it.

Thanks for your moderation!

We don't actually have the ability to do that. We only can edit, delete, and lock posts.

I don't know, but I suspect that his Paramount_Pictures account was shut-down by an administrator. So, now we have Universal_Pictures. :roll:

In that case, could you please ask an administrator to shut down his Universal_Pictures account - otherwise (apart from anything else) I'd think that Ulead could be liable for the breach of copyright.

Well, yes, it's now closer (99x124) to the allowed max size ("width can be no greater than 80 pixels, the height no greater than 80 pixels") but it's still in breach of copyright: "Celebrity images appearing on handbag.com cannot be reproduced elsewhere."

But thanks for weighing in, DVDDoug.
