Why is this even up for debate?
Er, of course not? Like I said, they're a professional publication, and they are fucking assholes for stealing your screenshot without contacting you. They make money off their site and anyone contributing work to it should be either paid or asked for permission. Posting a screenshot someone else took on a forum though, I don't see how that's a problem at all. I've made many posts on other forums where I've googled a random good-looking screenshot and put it in my post without crediting the site where I found it. At most, I'll say "I found these on some site/Google". Message board posts aren't journalistic articles or publications. You also have to take into account that a screenshot is just that, a frame from a game someone else made, they aren't art in and of themselves.
