Everton Crest Reminder

[GrandOldTeam]

A polite reminder to ask all to kindly refrain from using the Everton crest on GrandOldTeam.

We're not allowed to have it displayed anywhere on the website;

Our client has highlighted Player/Match Action Images, Club Crests and Fixtures among the posts and as member’s avatar’s in your forum http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum

I understand that due to the huge number of posts the tracking and removing of infringing images would prove difficult and very time consuming to perform.

A suggestion I have made with other football forums, is that when you do come across new images please take steps to remove them, but I would be grateful if you could post a message to members warning them of the issues in question.

Prior establishing the website, we did seek (and was granted) permission to display the Clubs crest but we'd still be routinely threatend by legal teams. On one occasion, our host was contacted and the website forcefully removed - incurring a fee. Our Facebook page was also blocked for this very reason - it took us a year for the account ban to be lifted.

The decision was made that it's considerably easier to comply with the advice cited above - "post a message to members warning them of the issues in question".

This advice has invoked abuse towards the Club in the past - "The Club are this, this and this...", but by all accounts the Club would allow us to feature the crest, but their legal teams wont.

Legal teams OUT ffs

but yeah it's a ridiculous rule for them to enforce but if it's one we have to uphold then I guess it's one we have to uphold. I just don't understand what on earth these legal teams think they're playing at?

Get the society of Black lawyers onto it FFS

 

[Azzurri]

The club doesn't want official things associated with the sight for when Drebin and Chico talk about bumming and RFUS 'jizzes buckets of joy'.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Surely the lawyers do what the club tell them rather than the other way round? Madness.

If I was to take the crest, turn it upside down, then mirror it, would I be able to use it as an Avatar?

Damn. What if I blur it a little?

I cant imagiine them complaining about people using the NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM part of it, they stopped using it years ago.

I think it should be the other way round.

Here we have a slick, friendly operation, run by good dudes.

On the other hand, a badly run FARCE of an organisation wants to tell US what to do??

EeeGads!
