As far as I know, it is illegal to post the pictures of anyone under the age of 18, without that person's parent's consent. ...thus, to remove any liability at all for the staff here, it is better to keep the pictures there.
Such is the same with copyrights, keeping a paper trail of permissions and such can be expensive and consuming.
Obviously there was a problem at some point in wich someone got pissed b/c they had a picture that they didn't know existed/didn't want published. ...a majority of rules/regulations/policies are based upon problems/situations that needed response.
Though, to avoid any confusion on the matter, and to help discontinue rumors and such, it would be beneficial for the mods to give an explination that may help us understand why such a policy was put in place. This may help us gain a greater understanding of how the world works using real-life situations.
