This is an email with a "friend" Oren J Sofer. I edited a little bit. It's a midge plagiarization. You gave the author and the fact that it has been edited, where's the plagiarism? |

You gave the author credit and made it clear that you did a little editing. Obviously you are not claiming the work as yours so there is no plagiarism. Why would the Mods delete it?

I thought it would be a cool thing for the holiday communication. I can't delete anything I am no longer the Admin. MY concern is why you keep goading the Mods about plagiarism and if they are going to suspend you. You from time to time post some very potent and thoughtful, but obscure, material without giving credit to the author. Do you remember Feckles the Clown? |

You're not a mod or a admin. So you can't delete it. Just leave it alone. I try not to provoke the Mods. A cool thing for the holiday communication. There's quotes and I said his name.....the writer I remember the F*ckles clown - MTM show I don't think we need to do this another thought. A few people loved it and they know somebody else wrote it and I edited it. Adios No Feckles was a forum member that plagiarized Dave Barry quotes on our forum. Nobody on the forum was a Barry fan so we did not know these were from Barry, until we got a barrage of nasty posts and threats, took months to sort that out. Besides that ProBoards Does Not Allow the posting of second hand material without due credit. EVERYONE that posts this forum agrees to follow ProBoards rules when they join our forum, Everyone. The Mods agree to uphold ProBoards rules when they become a Mod. ProBoards rules allow for some leeway on some rules but are very strict on others, like posted material written by others and uncivil behavior. Now between the *Feckles thing and the fact that ProBoards can shut down our forum without notice anytime they please gives our Mods good cause to keep careful watch on a forum we have had for MANY years. * Due to all the complaints from the Barry fans I had to assure ProBoards that Mods would be more attentive in the future. |

Bob has deleted his original post. Without that this conversation is pretty one sided. As far as I'm concerned the Mods can delete the whole thing.
