As I said you, i just repeated the same photo that had in AIS but in the smaller dimensions which are accepted here 640, when there is hi resolution much more than 100kb. I didn't posted this photo, some moderator with bad intentions replaced the photo, like it was me, which is an infrigment in the post I made, it means a very unprofessional attitude this moderator, when it has already many photos in internet spread in many sites like the ones the guy above showed. Even when everyone can visit AIS marinetraffic website to see it in original. So it was really no sense what he/she/it did. In YF there is no rules for sources, like in other forums have. So really the mod who did it is a jerk.

Have you clicked on the button saying RULES here above? There you can find the following:

Rules Regarding Links & Images...

1. Links: PLEASE be careful about the links you post on YachtForums. While we encourage links that are relevant, educational, informative or just plain fun, remember that other sites can benefit by a link from YachtForums... especially other forums or magazines that are similar in nature. Signatures or posts not meeting this criteria will be deleted. If you alter the same after the fact, your membership will be removed as well.

2. Images: PLEASE be careful about the source of the images you post. If there is ANY question, DON'T post it! Duplicating, hyper-linking or posting images without the consent of the owner, may be a violation of copyright.

______________________________________

MKM, this is not the first time you are posting copyrighted pictures, but the first time we pointed it out instead of removing it.

Almost every time a picture with copyright is posted, the photographer is contacting us to have it removed. These are rules in line with the copyright laws, not something that you are standing above.

Wait a minute, now you are pointing out, not before, even when it’s not possible to repeat the same photos dimensions and quality origins, because this site allow less. Second, I mentioned that the photo belonged to site AIS. And in site marinetraffic everyone can upload there, even I. So I mentioned the source, but it is not a rule in this site to put the 'site link source' below a photo when reposted. So probably is lacking something which other sites have. And third, I ever tried to mentioned the source when a picture is not mine, from a Webcam for example. So your rules seems not 100% fitting exactly what I am used to properly mention the sources in other forums, redoing the same here, neither your attitude was really a 'pointing out' like you pretended. And finally you are totally wrong when says 'it was not first time' I did that, because it was the first time I repeated someone else picture here. So this was a lie from you.

MKM, if this is the best you can come up with, you have a lot to study...

Mr. AMG, first of all, this is a personal attack, which a moderator should not make. Second you can't judge my studies, neither you are even in close position and situation for such, if you did yours.

In addition, this BS discussion has nothing to do with B+V News, neither the banal pic which this site is flooded everyday with other news from 'Senior members' bringing daily Ship Spotting, MarineTraffic and many others links here, even from personal Blogs. So, don't make a storm in a cup of water with this Egg skin. I understand that I don't like you, neither you make an effort to be sympathy to me, our chemical is not a good magnetic thing. You have power here, I don't. But this not means you have to be behind my tail all time, stalking!

[YachtForums]

MKM,

This nonsense comes to end now. We have been subject to your whimsical demands from your very first posts. I've received messages from you on how we should run YachtForums, including threads that should be moved and posts that should be deleted.

While your concerns are appreciated, responding to your many complaints has become a full time job. Unlike most admins that simply oversee a forum, I already have a full time job. That's where Lars or Kevin enter the equation. Both of these gentlemen are among the most fair people I've ever worked with. For 7 years, they have been here around the clock, keeping a vigilant eye on YF.

It's important to note, they don't get paid to do this. They are here because they have a passion for yachting and the community we've built. They have been instrumental in the same, keeping spam at bay and guiding members to maintain forum continuity and etiquette.

The only posts that I recall Lars ever removing is blatant spam or self-promotion. However, in recent months he has needed to remove several of your posts because you have no regard for our rules. I'm not sure what other forums you became accustomed to, but I recall you mentioning that one of them requested you to leave. Now it is two.

The guidelines we established many years ago are the reason YachtForums has evolved into a respectable community. It is a formula derived from several successful webmasters, including myself. At this point, your harassment of our moderators will come to an end. I will leave you with the choice of voluntarily refraining from further posting or I can remove your membership.

Perhaps you know about copyrights after all since you cut the picture so the copyright text was left out. You did not mention the Marinetraffic site either in that post as you now claim.

Finally, where are the rules what moderators should and should not tell you?

Please do not reply on this.

Saw this on youtube, a B+V 110-meter quad-waterjet propelled fast yacht. There isn't a contract for this design as far as I know but they are tank-testing in case one comes up then they would be able to possibly have all the relevant information to proceed with construction...

Interesting video. That is one heck of a wild ride for the scale people on board!

Well, the yard is not full-filled with yacht constructions and refits, this year, this time, in opposite with services, but recently NAHLIN came for some repairs. The wonderful classic is current behind dock 11. I don't know when she would go river down again. Probably you better know. I don't know also if the damage hull of 68m damaged in rocks in winter 2011 was scrapped or continued the project, it does not seem, however not heard about anymore.

Abu Dhabi Mar withdrew after two years of intensive negotiations, not only back their offer to purchase, but also to omit the planned cooperation in military shipbuilding with B&V.

Hopefully they will find a new financial investor...
Sorry, if you already know that, the news are 2 months old.

Hi,

I think you will find that the so called co operation in military projects had a lot to do with the deal falling through. There was concern about some of the technology that was to go along with the deal.

B & V say they have a number of projects ready to go but couldn't sign till the deal was done.

There was another party interested when it became apparent that ADM would pull out and he was told about these potential projects. He too has pulled out of any more negotiation owing to a situation beyond his control.


I wonder if they can sign up now given that Thyssen Krupp is no doubt still underwriting the venture.
