Reposting Post Here Allowed?

Postby nakitakona » 27 Sep 2017, 13:29

I have noticed lately that there's a repost of writer's post from other site here.

Is it covered by the rules or guidelines of ForumCoin? I don't send a private message to @fergal or @cyberfreak for I want everyone should know this.

Do you mean topics that people have put on other sites? I think you are allowed to post here.but I guess you have to confirm from @fergal just to be sure.

I also see some posts here which I already saw from the other site, I am just not sure if it is from postloop or The Forum Wheel.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that read "reporting posts." :P But I believe the OP was asking about reposting, which is the practice of copying the same post across various forums.

I'm not a fan of it myself. :(

This is only a guess: Provided the copied text is not copyrighted and has value, I don't think it is wrong to re-post it here.

Someone may post an article that was from another site but so long as it has been written in a different way and make perfect sense I don't see anything wrong with that.

Rewriting is better than copy pasting. If someone really wants to share an article, they can summarize about it and then share the link. :hair:

I don't repost anything I write cause I know it's against the rules on other sites, BUT what I have done
is write a blog about something & put it in a post that I write on the site, which I enjoy doing, BUT I
don't do that a lot cause there's other things I could write about on any site I'm on & share a video.

Just to clarify that is against our rules and guidelines. Members should write their own posts, not just copy and paste them from other sites.
