Pictures I've posted are being Deleted due to Copyright Infringements?

[scriptgirl]

I keep getting posts from a mod squad member that my posts have been deleted for copyright infringement and I don't know what is going on. I go to those posts-which are old by the way and I don't know what is being deleted. I have asked the mod who is contacting me to please get back to me re what I am doing wrong and no response. I credit the pics I post, so I don't know what is going on and I don't want to get banned.

when a post is deleted, there should be a link at the bottom of the pm to the deleted post...
can you copy and paste that into a browser?

I did that and when I go to the link provided-there is no comment from the mod or evidence that any of my posts were deleted. the majority of the complaints stem from the icons of the past forum

the help desk received a copyright infringement notice from isifa.com concering some of their images, so if you had any posts with images from them, we had to delete them...

if you want, you can forward me the pm's and i can look into it...

oh! that explains it. I did post from isifa. I didn't mean to get anyone in trouble. Am I in danger of being banned?

No ... you are not in any danger from us. However, it's best that you avoid taking images from ISIFA to post here, in the future, now that you know.

Many members have posted images from ISIFA without obtaining their permission and they were just doing a big clean up ... and we are so big, it takes a while for them to find everything, so some of these posts are quite old. We get these notices from different image companies/publishers etc. from time to time and always comply with their notices that they hold the copyrights and their requests to take the pictures down so this can happen now and then.
