We do not allow images from any sort of member site in the Fitness Babes forum.
The problem with creating a list is that we'd never be able to keep track of all of the potential sites, and as soon as we overlooked one, someone could think "Aha, then pics from xyz.com must be okay" and add them, and then put up a fuss when they got removed.
So all means all, and any means any.
As far as "free previews", that's getting to be a big headache too. So much so, that we've gotten to the point that "free previews" are going to have be eliminated as well. Rather than shut down the entire forum, though, we're just purging them as we discover them - unless the links are to the original content on the original site.
Also: even though a model/competitor might post a copyrighted image on her myspace or modelmayhem or similar site does not make it fair game: it's still a paysite image, and will get deleted if caught. We made it through a long winter without any major incidents in that forum: we tend to back off a bit when we know folks are tense enough as it is, from external factors. A lot of people are still having tough times, so most likely we'll just continue to quietly take care of the infractions when we discover them. BUT "quietly" will most likely disappear immediately if there's any sort of challenge. The mods have had a tough winter and are having tough personal times, now, too.
Any questions, just send me a message. When in doubt, don't post. Just that simple.
Oh, one thing I should add: if a thread is too "polluted" with paysite content, none of us will bother taking the time to prune, we'll just can the whole thread.
