If some obnoxious person chooses to edit a (relatively) harmless picture, then they themselves can pay the price for doing so. I can understand the reasons for why Lina may not want to post a pic that concretely defines who she is, and I'll never ask her to do so.
I'd expect no less from you, Ledhed... you're a reasonable man, and a good moderator.
But you make it sound as though what could potentially be done to a picture posted by her is her responsibility. It isn't. If someone decides to make an ass of themselves and post a rudely edited picture, then they themselves will account for it, which is exactly what happened last time.
That wasn't the intent, though I can see where you may see that in what I said.
I'm just guessing that she's less apt to post a picture again after having being insulted after the posting of the first one.
Now, I agree with you completely, and I'm sure the mods would act rapidly if that were to happen again... but if you've already been insulted by a photoshoped picture, would you be in a great rush to post another?
Again, I'm not pushing her one way or the other; I could care less who/what she is. But, if she were to post a pic, and someone did something masha-like again, they'd be dealt with accordingly without Lina having to account for their actions.
I'd expect no less from you, Shrike, Punqsux and Trakan...
though if it were to happen, can you really put the genie back in the bottle?
The picture itself wouldn't be the problem, but rather what others do with/to it.
Exactly. That's the way it always tends to work out.
