copyrighted material - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

lktknow · 03-17-2008, 08:32 AM

I wasn't sure where to put this as it is a question about posting. The answer is most likely in the "rules of posting" but to cut to the chase, could someone please explain to me about posting copyrighted material, and how do you know if it is copyrighted.
I was chastised once here in the forum for posting something, and now in another forum I go to, my post was edited and the article taken out of the post. I gave the link to the article, but posted the article also.
I apologize for my ignorance in this matter. Thank you

Quote:

When posting articles and bits from other websites, it's imperative that you do all of the following:

Link the passage in your post.

Directly quote the passage in your post using the vBcode quote tag. Just linking the passage is very bad form.

Include your opinion along with the quote.

This should help further:

Also, under the Utility section, there is a Tilted Support forum which would probably be a good place to post questions when you can't find the answers.

I don't know why your posts were edited, but the answer is probably in your messages, as they will normally contact you to advise you when this is done.

I'd also suggest reading this if you haven't already.

I looked really quickly to see if I could find which post here you are referring to as to what was edited, but cannot see it. Please PM me with more information and maybe I can answer it for you.
