for unknown reasons, I accidently clicked the "remove topic" button on that thread. Guys I AM REALLY SORRY about your posts going! I don't know, but maybe this forum needs a confirmation message while removing posts.

here is the ship sim wiki: www.shipsimulator.wikia.com

Uhm.. it does show confirmation messages.. at least for me.. but I reckon that's not just a moderator thing. That should work for everyone.

You can check by posting and then removing it.. I'd be interested to know if that is true or not.. let me know if you will.

ok Il start a post called test and delete it. everyone ignore it - k?

*edit

it does work, but it didnt give me a confirmation mesage when deleting that post

I thought I hadn't deleted it but when I refreshed it it said it didn't exist or it was off-limits to me.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #3 on:** January 04, 2009, 13:17:26 »

Hmm.. I just made a new account as a test, and tried it without mod rights in both IE and firefox, and there is a warning, for sure.

What browswer are you using? (not that I think it matters, it's coded into the SMF software AFAIK).

$:-\$

IE, but I surely didnt get a confirmation message, so I thought I hadnt deleted it. but it then said it was off-limits or non existant when I posted it.

My post in that now destroyed thread was that you (Gloat) need to be very aware that as the publisher of the site, you are personally responsible if anyone else places copyrighted (plagiarised) materials on it.

There are teams of lawyers who roam the internet looking for such things, I know. I have a team who work for my organisation, looking for sites that have stolen my materials. They win enough cases to more than cover their costs (quite a good profit margin, actually).

ash, were those sherpa pictures yours of someone elses?

ash · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2009, 17:40:26 »

they were on the fairmount website but they had not big copyright sign on it so i presumed that they werent copyrighted

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2009, 18:12:54 »

EVERYTHING that someone posts or publishes somewhere is copyrighted material. (presuming they made it themselves)

Just FYI

ash · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2009, 18:14:11 »

oh didnt know that sorry gloat

TerryRussell · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2009, 18:16:47 »

Fred is entirely correct.

There is absolutely no need for the owner to post a copyright statement on it. The copyright exists as soon as the "thing" exists, be it images, text or whatever.

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2009, 18:35:34 »

Let's not forget that if you convert an image file to a text (.txt) file, you can see the copyright info.

Gloat · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2009, 19:36:43 »

ok ok.

Entirely your own pictures and nothing else.

My mission editor works

I can helpposting pictures now

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2009, 20:21:37 »

I set the images I use from somewhere else, with permission (such as a VSTEP render, that mark gave me permission to use a while ago as, "This file is copyrighted. It will be used in a way that qualifies as fair use under US copyright law."

TerryRussell · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2009, 21:06:52 »

...Which only work within the USA, of course. The copyright laws in other parts of the world may have subtle (or major) variations.

Gloat · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2009, 21:35:37 »

So if I asked for a picture of a navy frigate permission from you guys, even if it was alright, you couldn't do so.

Agent, could you please ask for a navy frigate pic, as I am not in the USA at this time.

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2009, 22:51:50 »

I don't want to bother the admins. I could ask if I could use a screen shot from the teaser though.

Gloat · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2009, 23:28:29 »

Thants what I meant although ask them if we can use a pic from the navy firefighting game too, its pictures are better there.

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2009, 00:59:07 »

Just because I am in the US doesn't mean their content is under US Copyright Laws...

You CAN ask for permission...

Nathan|C · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2009, 10:02:06 »

We have a page for SS Pro V2.0, so i think it should be ok having the Navy Frgiate. I'm also adding AI vessels soon enough.

Gloat · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2009, 19:30:49 »

I changed the wiki skin, looks better now.

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2009, 20:17:52 »

It's the same for me. Sure you didn't just change it in your preferences not the site preferences?

Gloat · « **Reply #24 on:** January 05, 2009, 20:39:05 »

I have now - check.
