"Old_Glass" from Canada,

"Old_LeeSpeed" from Canada is currently in the Sinbin.

The terms and conditions are already clear on the matter as previously posted.

The website is free to members. The archive is for members' benefit. Reading the membership terms and conditions is something assumed all members would do when clicking "I agree". As for asking people individually before hand, we already have in the membership agreement.

As for "Old_Leespeed" from Canada, this user already has threatened or claims he is already spamming the two ISPs NE uses. He has threatened an administrator with putting up an assumably libellous web page.

NE takes a very strong attitude against spammers.

A rational response from "old_leespeed" would have been to politely ask the nature of the edits of the photos.

His rude language and behaviour towards Curl and also another member trying to help out, Sarg, show his nature however.

He is in the Sinbin at the moment, without posting rights. Any gentleman would know how to resolve such a situation.

Considering the timing of his forums comments and the hacking of the server was also on the same day or very close. Also the amount of time and resources spent restoring this site, means issues like attacks on NE (cron spamming threats, libel etc) might be met with a short fuse for a while.

NitroX from Australia, we're not just from Canada, we're from the same province of Canada!!

But I'm afraid I don't know anymore about Old LeeSpeed than you do, probably less. I just wanted to hear about his rifles.;-)

The subtext to your comments seems to be that I'm somehow "sticking up for" Old LeeSpeed because he's Canadian. I wish Canadians had that kind of "matey" culture, but we don't. Old leeSpee's fuze seems to be a bit shorter than some, but most of us have a good charge of powder.

Obviously I'm not privy to all that's gone on here, and I'm not defending anyone's intemperate comments.

If you have different info from the "Terms & Conditions of Use" than what I quoted, it would be good to clear that up.

The suggestion to posters to use watermarks is a good one.

Should be quite easy to find out who hacked the server.

You're right, a little "gentlemanliness" goes a long way.
