Pretty sure the long and short of that thread is that the OP is FOS and those are just random pictures he found online.

Either way, I think it falls under "distasteful, but fine".

So Dids, your personal opinion is the pictures are stolen and the post is libel, but you think that's fine [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]?

Pictures that somebody posts in a publically available photobucket account can't be considered "stolen".

Making up a story on the internet is pushing the definition of libel.

Asking us as mods to try and prevent either action requires us to verify the source of the images and the veracity of the story.

I think pretty much the rule of thumb should be to not mess with anything until people start asking them to take them down.

I think the one thing that we can do to try and eliminate more questionable situations like this is attempt to stop the "PICS OR BAN" attitude. When somebody is simply unable to post a thread about a girl without being badgered into posting pics, stupid stuff tends to happen.
