like i said less if the bit about pictures being for keeps when they are in a competition was there when i first read the forum rules- then i wouldnt have entered - i only saw the bit about the gallery and the bit about competitions definitely wasnt there -
i dont want to enter any more because i do not agree to the terms and conditions of the contests - holding a copyright also means you have a say as to where your picture is displayed - i should imagine that if it actually came down to it then absolutely refusing to delete pics and taking away that option for the person making the "piece" was infringing upon a copyright law -

as for ruining the Site that others enjoy - come on get a grip

my main reason for taking down the pics- one of my puppy pics was on a site called istockphoto changed to black and white and only low resolution size.
i had to prove that it was mine by providing my exif data from the original file - and about 6-8 e-mails later finally got it removed.
maybe it was a guest maybe a non member - i dont care i decided to tkae my pictures down and it was refused - so i replaced them - live with it

and i didnt say it wasnt an issue- but i think that accyweb mods are trying hide the fact that you cant delete your pics-as they wont get as many people entering perhaps (although i dont think people are less likely to enter i just think they would choose more carefully) if they arent hiding the fact then why isnt it clearly displayed at the beginning of a comp thread? that is basically all that i am asking - suggesting - whatever you want to say i am doing - just make the info clear
