Woman's boobs posted in /r/onoff. Owner of said boobs shows up, saying she did not authorized them to be posted here, only in /r/gonewild. Replies containing phrases like "Newsflash sweetheart" ensues. Oh, um, NSFW, if that isn't obvious. (np.reddit.com)

Maybe, but if someone personally comes in to request that their content--especially content of such a personal nature--be removed, that should be respected. It's kind of gross that the mod just brushed her off like that.
The content broke no rules. Neither the subreddits nor Reddits rules.

As they should have.
TIL that Reddit rules set the standard for what is or is not shitty behavior.
For some people, Reddit is everything.
My name is reddit for we are many(nerds)
I never said it wasn't shitty.
Then I will: It wasn't shitty.
yeah, it was. grow up.
You realize that just because something isn't against the rules doesn't necessarily mean that it's appropriate or in good taste, right?
I could sneeze on people in public and defend myself by saying it isn't illegal to be a rude jackass, which it isn't, but still. Be a fucking person.
I followed up with "I never said it wasn't shitty."
It was shitty, but that's not what I was speaking to.
What were you speaking to, then? Because the person you replied to never said it was against the rules, just that it would be nice to respect the poster's wishes.
Depending how on where you live if you do it intentionally it would be assault with bodily fluids and illegal.
Not only that, the mod was really nasty about it.
>You posted your images on a public image host on a public website. I'm not quite sure you understand how the internet works.
Bolding mine.
I am not saying that mods are always even-handed and calm, but usually they at least try in most subs, right? This was downright dickish. It called her out as being stupid. It was totally unnecessary to add that bit of insult to injury. Yuck, what a meanie!
Yes, she needs to be told straight up that she lost control of that image the second she posted it online. You can do that without being a shithead, mr. mod.
>really nasty
>>I'm not quite sure you understand how the internet works.
I'm not quite sure you understand how being really nasty works
Well, it's subjective, isn't it? I think, if you read it in context, it comes across as very cold and nasty. Like a really mean-spirited way to talk to her. But text is tricky like that--one person's nasty is someone else's meh.
I know right. It is not as if the mod said "Listen you stupid cunt we the moderation of on off have saved this pic and will repost it weekly linking your username for all eternity so go fuck yourself."
That would be really nasty.
Under copyright, the owner has every right to make that request and have it honored. Of course in practice it's often not followed because people aren't familiar and/or are idiots like the mod in that situation.
If I were that mod I'd take it down because of that concern (assuming I believe its ownership) and I think the admins should enforce that as a CYA (cover your ass) measure since it could come back to haunt them if they allow mods to do that.
