This thread is to give a heads up to WAF members who are photo collectors. If you are not a photo collector then this probably does not concern you too much and might seem like an over-reaction but such is life
There is a member on here called 'AlifRafikKhan' (also a member on Axis history) - he downloads photographs posted by picture collectors and then posts them onto other forums eg
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtop...=5192&start=45
He also starts threads to ask for pictures relating to this that or the other ;
http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=370573
That is bad enough that he re-posts them elsewhere - but he also runs a blog which contains literally thousands of pictures all of which he has downloaded and then re-uploaded to his own site :
http://alifrafikkhan.blogspot.com
On one page alone of that site I found 43 of my pictures:
http://alifrafikkhan.blogspot.com/20...ion-dalam.html
I would recommend other photo collectors who post pictures on Wehrmacht awards forum to go and check his site to find out if he has also used your pictures.
As an example on this page
http://alifrafikkhan.blogspot.com/se...0Nazi%20Jerman
there are approx 50 pictures with 'wehrmacht-awards forum' listed as the source.
If you go to google and do a search for this
" wehrmacht-awards site:http://alifrafikkhan.blogspot.com/ "
without the quotation marks you get 13 PAGES of results.
On each page there are about 10 webpages off of his blogsite where he has listed Wehrmacht awards forum as the source of pictures. The scale of this is surreal !
Looking through it this evening I can see pictures belonging to other members like W Petz, PZV pics here
http://alifrafikkhan.blogspot.com/20...an-jerman.html
He also seems to prefer to copy from certain threads such as the 'My TR Portrait Postcard Collection'. I have pm'd him on axis history last night and got no response then found out he is also a member here so pm'd him here but no response - also reported him to the waf moderators and look forward to seeing how this is handled as to my mind this is completely out of order.
