Image ban or tagging, is it possible?

[pinggoki]

I'm sure there's a free use policy on images posted on the Internet and if I recall correctly, if the person that has taken the photo explicitly stated that they don't want it to be used by other people then that's when the plagiarism starts to be an issue and it's mostly being done by professional photographers there's a famous case of that iirc although it was amicably settled, I think it was a picture used by a YouTube music video which a lot of people loved and the video got taken down for copyright on the picture. In this forum, I think that it's going to be difficult to get accused of image plagiarism so you don't need to worry OP.

Don't confuse plagiarism for copyright infringements. The former can get you banned, the latter is handled based on the DMCA. But since Bitcointalk doesn't host images, copyrighted images are someone else's problem.

Plagiarism is basically saying you created something, while someone else did. It doesn't matter if it's text or images, although images won't get you banned on Bitcointalk.
Copyright infringement is using someone else's work without permission. Quoting is usually considered to be fair use, but especially for images there are Copyright trolls who make a living charging people.

Skepticism is the father of curiosity so in this respect, I would like to ask a simple question about the possibilities of one getting ban through posting of images here in the forum, because I know this community doesn't joke around with strict policy of countering people that do copy pasting.

In my opinion, what is meant by skepticism is the tendency not to believe something, not to want to know about something. I've read about the concept of skepticism in philosophical analogies, but it was a long time ago and many have forgotten.

In respect of posting of images, although I haven't seen any body get banned although I don't know if it's because I have search hard enough but I wouldn't want to be corrected by someone again through PM so I decided to come public on this one. So please the community should clear if I can banned or tagged from copying someone image in creating my topic without adding a reference link.

I don't think you will be banned from taking pictures on the internet. This is because the bitcointalk site does not support image hosting, so when you post an image you have to upload the image to an image hosting site such as talkimg.com. As far as I know, you will not be considered plagiarist for pasting image links from image hosting

I have serious taught on this because I tried even using AI to help write some post of mine and I won't deny the fact but a good mate here in the forum corrected me and sent me a PM to stop if not I will be tagged so in that respect I stop using the AI...

I hope that's the absolute truth and nothing but the truth that you've indeed stopped using it. To me, I see those who rely on AI to write for them as people who've confidence issue and then bend it to deceive others.

So please the community should clear if I can banned or tagged from copying someone image in creating my topic without adding a reference link.

I know many users above have pointed you to what's obtainable at the moment that there's no copyright infringement on pictures here. However, I do think that it could become an issue during arts competitions and exhibitions here during contests. I think I've read something like that where certain users tried to adjust some arts work they saw online and pass them off as theirs. They got called out on the threads. I can't remember what competitions they were on again now.

And please don't mind the English error as am trying to improve in my writing thank you all.

Apart from your negligence of punctuation marks, I think your written English isn't bad.

Well, you may get away with posting random images on this forum but this does not mean that you won't be accused of image plagiarism.
Let me tell you that if you ever participated in any art contest, and try to get an image from the internet and tell that this is your submission (your artwork), then you may be in trouble. Similarly copying anyone else work and presenting it as yours in some sort of competition, may get you tagged, if not banned.

So, you need to be careful and it really depends on which context the image is copied and posted on the bitcointalk forum.

You only get banned if the image is NSFW. All other images are fine, including AI generated ones. And also, there is no such thing as a "plagiarized image" unless it is stolen from the stock image seller's website without paying (and a license to reproduce it on other sites), in which case, don't do that.

Use discretion and don't post images with content that is illegal in your jurisdiction.

Not to argue where is the NSFW rule?

And are you saying NSFW even if it is not plagiarized?

Simple answer yes, this is when you claim the owner of the image when you use it on one of your post. This is why you should put the source if you are using it as reference to the topic you created to avoid confusion that you are not the real owner.

But if you are just posting image just for sharing the content without any description on your post that expresses your ownership then you are good to go to post image without any source. Most of the time, image use on info thread is always subjected to copyright when doesn’t disclose the source it will looks like that you own it since the content is originally from yours.

That's very correct mate, because I have seen some art contest here in the forum that people actually went as far as to copy or use images of others and although they weren't tag or banned but I believe they were automatically removed from the contest and I know the community will put a close eye on such user of not even tagged for such act. Image plagiarism will not  get you banned but be sure that someone here can tag you for involvement in this act especially when you use to cheat in the community contest.

To me it's better you always attached the image link from the site where you source it from, despite no rules that says copying images are restricted from the forum. Most at times people are too funny I can remember someone who copied an image and was reported as plagiarism then but after all evaluation the user was free. So to be plain and free from drama it's always advisable to include source link to every content you are copying from to post in this forum.

Since you haven't seen anyone get tagged and you have not seen any thread of such relating to the ban because of the posted image, that means that nothing of such exists. When I came to the forum, I quite thought it would also be a crime to upload images that weren't created by me, so what I normally do then is to also add the source link to those images in the imagine before I post them on the forum. Later, I realized that it was not really a crime, and I stopped adding the link. It's not a crime to receive corrections through PM, mate. You should consider being lucky because it has saved you from the open drama that you would have created for yourself.
