Hello fieldy,
I'd like to start off by asking you why you decided to look through the "You" thread for your own enjoyment, and then decided to choose a person's (in this case assumingly a random person considering you and Rickets are not related) IRL picture and display it on a billboard in-game with the sole purpose of belittling this person, or attempt to provoke a reaction, as after the billboard was posted, one of your friends posted the picture on the Discord, followed by another friend of yours tagging said person, thus attempting to provoke a reaction.
You state it is public domain, however with some common sense it is safe to say that it invades someone's privacy if you spread their personal pictures. You do need consent of the person to post their picture. The fact that the user posted a picture on a thread which is made for sharing pictures of yourself, does not condone you using the picture for whatever "malicious" intent (in this case a joke) you had on your mind. With a bit of common sense (surprisingly), not everyone would be very pleased seeing their face displayed in-game on a massive banner in the middle of the city, with the sole purpose of trying to portray a joke, or in this case being made fun of (their height).
Not only did you simply post a picture of someone, you added a few lines of text to it belittling the person "as a joke" following by saying in OOC "now we play the waiting game". Alongside this I also had a look through the logs and the first thing you've stated after placing the billboard in local OOC is "im getting banned for that". Why did you proceed with your "joke", knowing it could potentially get you in trouble?
