I know the watermark is there to help prevent theft of images from the classifieds, but we don't really need it for other stuff (especially memes and jokes which are almost 100% "stolen" by definition).

As an example of a bad watermark;

Exactly. We've got to weed out the really lazy ones.

Not that I'm a pro photographer but I personally don't like seeing it on my own photos. Technically I cant see it a good thing for NWFA to tag the thousands of stolen pics that get shared as their own property.
