							| Hi! 
 You shouldn �t have deleted your wss, Victor explained in the thread below yours that they �d be again among the new contributions tomorrow and that moderators won �t remove them. If they are among today �s contributions, it means you uploaded them BEFORE the new rules.
 
 Sorry for your losing points, upload them again and it �ll be a pleasure to see them among tomorrow �s contributions.
 
 Have a nice day!

							| Zailda - I beg to differ!
 Watermarks are imprinted on images that are not for public use or downloading.
 That �s why they are watermarked.

							| Hey Euphe,   Don �t worry you didn �t cause anyone any inconvenience at all  .  And I thought it was really kind of you to write in the description that you would mail it to anyone who needed it, even though it had been frozen  . You have a true sharing spirit.  Anyway, we �re all looking forward to being able to download another of your masterpieces tomorrow  .  Don �t stress about it and have a great weekend. Big hugs Julia     |  19 Feb 2010

							| libertybelle, I have nothing against members updating their wss to replace the watermarked pics, but the wss uploaded before the new rules should not be removed - as I interpret the new rules. The rules are clear, they apply only for wss uploaded after Feb 19th. |  19 Feb 2010

							| Yes Zailda, I understand, but the issue of watermarking doesn �t only apply here at ESL but on the internet as a whole. To use watermarked images is unethical. If people want others to use their images, they wouldn �t watermark them at all.
 Often watermarked images are just examples of images you can buy. (without the watermark)
 
 A watermark is the same as a copyright and to use a copyrighted image is theft.
 So I think it �s good that shusu deletes the ws with the watermarked images and uploads (or just updates) a new ws with images that aren �t watermarked.
