Why the Watermark on all images now?

Kind of wrecks the Memes threads.

Can you post a few examples?

There was another post about this a week ago or so. It’s so people can’t mimic our listings on other forums. I don’t see any watermarks though.

I think having the watermark ONLY on firearms for sale, it is a good idea. That way crooks won’t have the abilities (unless if they’re expert CG guys) to steal the picture for some fake posts elsewhere.

Yeah, watermarks don't belong on memes / funny stuff.

I think NWSharpshooter also made a good point though. Having ODT watermark also opens them up to liability. Probably best just to let the people worried about this kind of stuff watermark it themselves. Easy to do with an app or photo editing software. There's a free Photoshop alternative called Pixlr that you can use in browser on your computer that works with layers so you can add a watermark.
