If they like your images they claim they have ownership over your copy right and will not allow the removal of your images. Think twice before you submit ANY content to Chowhound. There are claims that they have even published a book and altered the posts of members as content. Chowhound stands for every thing a true hound should hate. Big corporate America running over the little guy with heavy handed moderation and what in my opinion amounts to little more than theft. I have emails from CH refusing to remove my images after I requested them to be taken down several times. Please be very careful and think twice before you post photos on Chowhound.

I'm no longer astounded that completely legitimate posts get censored when you have a "community manager" with an <a href="http://www.jacquilynne.com/mt/mt-static/2007/02/when_can_we_get_this_here.html" rel="nofollow">attitude like this</a> I’m astounded that you would continue to try posting there.

Recently I’ve had postings about concern over using food ingredients from China and displeasure about the long lines at my local TJs and their discontinuation of stoned wheat thins censored. Once you’ve been censored once I think you go on a hot list and they carefully discriminate against everyone of your postings. The SF hounds have a picnic each year and this year the Chowhound Community Manager Jacquilynne Schleisier flew down from Toronto to attend. I had a chance to talk to her and what a piece of work! While food is obviously her main main interest (see the photo at http://www.ample-knitters.com/jacquilynne.html ) She also talked about going on cruises with her parents. On her blog she talks about her thoughts about her main interest http://www.jacquilynne.com/mt/mt-static/diet/reasons_why/ I hope this gives some consolation to those of you who have been censored. Now on the other hand she evidentially is taste testing all the food that is mentioned. It sort of astounds me what is censored on Chowhound.

I've never even gotten the courtesy of a notification. How can users learn the rules if deletions are never explained? At least you got notification the first time your post was deleted.
