Okay Robo - I want all your maps!!

Come on Mods. How about a sticky for Robo's maps since this makes 2 "personal" messages to Robo about maps in the last 12 hours.

If Robo is willing of course

The DIS cannot "host" these images. And I'd recommend strongly against gathering them all in one place.

These images are based on copyrighted imagery from other sources which make money by licensing those images. While I haven't asked Robo directly for his part, I know for a fact that the DIS doesn't have any license to use that imagery in this way.

Gathering them all in one place and making a sticky could open Robo to legal action by the owners of the satellite imagery and I don't think any of us would want that.

And again, if you need help or info from any DIS poster, just PM them. Most times they will be more than happy to post on the board as required or respond in PM as fits the occasion. Again, we're not saying you cannot get the help you need, we're just asking you to think in terms of the board policies and rules when you seek that help.

And lest anyone think we're being unfair here, I have in the past had people address posts on the open board to me directly and I've deleted those posts or renamed them and requested that when they specifically want my help, just PM me. If we allow ANY posts of a personal nature or addressing specific posters by name on the boards, then we must allow them all.

And then it becomes a free-for-all.

As moderators, we take the same heat when we move threads to the proper boards. Yes, we could leave a thread about airplane seatbelts here on the ThemeParks board.. But we have board organization and basic rules so that it is easy to find information and keep things in their proper place.

Many posters known for their knowledge do a wonderful job of finding, reading and responding to the threads where they think they can be of assistance...

Thanks...

As much as I hate having tons of bookmarks to Robo's maps, I have to agree with the principle on which CanadianGuy is protesting. On another board I visit for something non-Disney, there was a post addressed to a specific user celebrating their birthday. It made me feel really marginalized to see that. I don't know the specifics about legality, but I am sure CanadianGuy is right about that too. Imagine just how many school districts are playing movies or music in classrooms without licenses to do so. Average people largely do not respect copyright laws, but that doesn't mean we should flaunt it on the boards.
