Recently, after browsing through the WolfPlay forums, I found an alert concerning two stock-photo websites: Pixelbay and Pexels. After reading an alert from a mod (I'll provide a screenshot, as you need a profile to view the post), the post said that many images found on those websites were taken from other sources, then labeled as stock. All mods that apply to that site must have a knowledge of researching artwork to make sure it's stolen; I would trust them to be correct about the websites.
Just bringing this to your attention to make sure these sites can be investigated.

Because I could, I had a look at Pixabay. It relies on user submissions, so that's a problem. However, I checked a random sample and reverse image searched them and the online originals were the photos uploaded to there. It's the same problem that will always occur, users uploading things will end up with users uploading things that they don't have the rights to.
I don't think it warrants a full ban on it, but just user caution. I'll have a look at Pexel later.

Yeah, I just thought I would post about it so a possible warning could go out. I wasn't necessarily saying that it should be banned completely... just that users need to be cautious about using images from those sources. Maybe even have somebody post a tutorial on how to check images to see if they're the real deal.
I really would hate someone to get in trouble for using an image that is not stock. I'm going to have to go through and check them out for any other posts, just to make sure.
