1) if you login (you can use the goldmember login mentioned in the above posts) in the my account area of all users you'll see a section called "upload pictures to rhino" located near the bottom left, when user's go to that section they have the ability to upload content directly to our server. all we can do really is take the word of the user that the content is good and not in any violation of copyright or things of that nature. i suppose a link to a well worded TOS on the submission page would be a good recommendation and we're putting one up.

2) we dont put any adult/nudity content on rhino currently (in the way of pictures) and we discard all nude photos submitted by users, as if we showed user submitted adult content we wouldnt really have any good way of knowing if the pictures were 'of age'.

hope that answers your questions,
thanks...
1) Well, I'm not sure you can get off the hook by taking other people's word or with a TOS.

2) You don't seem aware that to have any CP on your computer is a felony, even if you didn't put it there and even if you delete it right away. It's what's called a "strict liability" offense.

As I understand it, if you want to go the "we are just a wire...we don't filter anything...that responsibility belongs to the submitters" the way, for example, the phone company isn't responsible for what travels over their wires, then you must NEVER intervene, must never review, must never discard.

So, your two points are in conflict with each other, you can't hide behind 1) if you do 2).
