How Many Copyrights Can Get You Banned?

[NC122606]

I was wondering how many copyrights it takes for you to get banned?
If it’s 3 then I gotta be careful...
Thanks!

Never knew you can get a copyright ban on this forum.

Not sure if it is a thing, just want to make sure.

And how would get a copyright, by stealing s of other people's tanks?

Basically I did this but, just pulling up a of a catfish from live aquaria.
I mean it was pretty cool I had a picture of a corydora with jack blacks face on it.

Bruh.

I mean I'm pretty sure some members on this forum use s from Google and slap it in as their avatar.

I tried that with a fish pic, just lazy and not knowing any better. Avatar was wiped within 5 minutes and I got a slap on the wrist. Took me about an hour for my own identical looking fish to cooperate for the camera.

All forums need a copyright ban because all websites are at risk for lawsuits from the copyright owner and even non-owners. That means BIG fines and some sites have even been shut down because there are ambulance chasing jerks who go around filing lawsuits.

It can be s and also text from copying words from a published "article". You're only usually supposed to quote maybe only the first sentence then attribute and link to the actual article.

I used a pic of an octopus painting I found off Google and got copyright flagged.

Good news is, I just took an awesome pic of my African Dwarf Frog I got today, so that little guy is likely going to be my new picture

Haha, exactly what I did.
I love when my fish are doing the perfect poses and I am not quick enough to get the Iphone camera out...
Edit: Ridilen is a beast if that is not his picture.

Well I caught him opening his mouth to eat and ALMOST caught it on camera Like, a second away from snapping it.

I did however get a pic of it laying on the substrate, kind of "smiling" I guess. Cute little guy, I fell in love with them after doing research on them for months and debating on whether their difficulty is worth it.

Seriously don't get all the hate they get. My frogs are not picky eaters, fed em earlier and they chased the food down. They are not trying to jump out. Not making any noises. Nothing, very chill and pleasant to watch.

I seem to have very good luck with that...

They almost look like they're singing in a choir or something lol

I think it depends on the frequency more than the total number. If you do 3 or 4 things over a year that would be way more acceptable than posting one copyrighted every single week. But of course that's only a guess. Once a mod comes along they can give you a better answer

We take copyright infringement seriously. Why? Well, I've been threatened with lawsuits because of copyrighted s appearing on the forum posted by members. I had to go through the entire database searching for all the s and it was a major pain. As a website owner/admin I totally get it though. People go through the trouble of posting/creating s or writing articles and for people just to copy/paste it or use it as their own really kinda sucks. It is a big deal... a really big deal. It is better for everyone to just post a link to the or article if you want to share it here on the forum.

Regarding bans for copyright issues, it is the recency and frequency of how many times you have to be contacted by the moderators. The mods like to browse and post just like everyone else and we don't want to have to take time out of our day to contact members about copyright issues that are easily avoided. Several warnings are given before a ban takes place.

Thank you!
Definitely understand that.
