Am I correct in assuming that by becoming a member of this site, by choosing a username and password, all pics posted on it become the technical intellectual property of the site, and therefore do not need to be removed unless dictated by an administrator?
TL;DR: Pics posted are property of site managers?

Yes, property then becomes FFXIAH's. Still, not covered under copyright Infringement.

I know the Phatdade edits would fall under this, but what if it's material from the interwebz? How would you know if that's the real person that has the copyright or it's even their's?
This is why, even the owner does not have ownership of a photo. If details were posted, it would be a whole different ballpark. But, not photos.
"Note that granting something to the public domain is a complete abandonment of all rights. You can't make something "PD for non-commercial use." If your work is PD, other people can even modify one byte and put their name on it. You might want to look into Creative Commons style licences if you want to grant wide rights"
Basically, If that dude posted it (how else did it get on the net in the first place) Unless he specifily has on the photo that it cant be re-used. He forfieted all rights.
