Fixed Why are all photos watermarked?

[Gingerbeard Man]

Can we not?

Example:

I dont see them.

Me either, I kinda feel left out.

All my pics have them, as a supporter

If you are seeing them as a supporter while logged in... you are being supportive in the wrong ways...

Why not have an option when you post an image on whether to add a watermark or not? Then if an individual doesn't want their image to be copied somewhere else, it will be added instead of being on all images?

Thanks,

Does this watermarking/copyrighting of photos have anything to do with the upcoming Swap Meet? Meet and Greet? Gun Show?
Is there a list somewhere of those of us whom have paid and have T-Shirts, Challenge Coins, Tables Reserved, etc.,?

There's even apps....on both Android and Apple that allow you to do that. I believe running your photo through one of those apps also strips the metadata which is good if you don't want someone finding your geolocation from your photo.

THIS O N E ! Need more input please. It's frustrating to have humans sending pics of "secret" locations with their daggumm location attached to the photo.Dang Humans.

The reasoning is we get a lot of complaints from people that their pictures are being taken and used elsewhere. We can adjust the watermark if people don't like the look of it but I think the idea itself is sound.

This makes sense! Thanks to the people whom complained to management. Thanks to management for making a sound command decision to protect.
How (maliciously) were the pictures used elsewhere and who was doing it? Should We Sue Some Folks?

Just disable the location info in the camera settings.
