Copying Content from other sources

I agree 100% with this.
The I Cant Even thread has been dumb since day 1. Fairly certain i have 0 posts in that one. If you want to say how wrong someone is go post in the thread they made(you all have user id there) and 'say it to their faces', not on some other site where they have no user id and no way to defend themselves. -
@momurda I would agree with this, except, literally no-one is allowed to confront bad ideas on this other community.
So while I agree, there is no reasonable way to do it, short of creating a post about it here, and telling the OP to go read what true comments are being said about their OP.

We can't post content from other communities, I can see how that could potentially cause copyright stuff... whether it's right or wrong, I certainly don't have the time to deal with that whether I'd win or lose.
But, pasting a web URL, stance on that @Minion-Queen ?

It's likely copyright theft, so instead just paraphrase anything you want to discuss. At least that is what I'm betting this other community is claiming.

@momurda I have, and would again, say it to their faces right on that site, but some of us are on {moderator whose name rhymes with ass}'s permanent moderation list... meaning nothing I post will ever see the light of day (how dare I call out bad vendor behavior!!!!).

Just no posting content copied from there or links to/from there please and thank you.

And there we have it folks.
ML can no longer have any references (copied content, web links to/from, etc.) to this other "IT Community". Is that legal? No. But it's a rule here, so if we want to be able to use ML, we have to follow it.

That's not asking too much IMHO. The collective IQ of ML will simply jump.

Remember, if we need to refer to "them", we should use the term "Big Orange". Not to be confused with the president, who will now be referred to as "Big Orange Idiot". I hope this clarifies things for everyone.

No, it's not asking much at all... I just feel bad for the people who will lose out and be maliciously pushed off of technical cliffs.
It's bad for IT folk in general.
Owell.

As we all know every decision they make makes them less and less relevant. Eventually they will die off and fighting over raid levels will hopefully be a thing of the past

Or the only thing to cling onto . .

Pretty sure the abundance of sycophants on the internet at large (and on the site that shall not be named) will keep them around just enough to be a ridiculous annoyance.

So does this mean ML is no longer "Down with OPP"
Other Peoples Posts?
-
Oh my, never thought it would be me who has to say something like that...
Let's stay professional. We got our community, they got their. We'll see who lasts longer.
