Cicero gave the actual important reason for the rule so I'll just leave a tip that may help
There are some exceptions, but if I drop off a note with the rule pointed out you probably have a little time to fix whatever the article issue is. I am trying to protect the poster but if they ignore it overnight, basically I figure I did what I could to help them. I hate to see any article get removed over something so technical but important so that is why we try to help. PJ does give a very large amount of time to correct the copied articles. Hope that helps.

Yeah right....let's all just forget that the top post was at 1:56 and another at 1:57.

 

[Lapcat]

Eh....I'll just PM ya.

 

[Lapcat]

Question. If we have forgotten ....and posted the whole article (and it happens a lot)....how much of the article is required to be removed? Is it like 1/3? It would almost be easier to just post the title and the link....lol.

Not sure what you are talking about.

Hey Greeny. I retrofitted my patio into a greenhouse this winter. Already had green shadecloth around it since last summer was the hottest on record. All I had to do was affix the heavy-duty plastic around it and connect the sheets of plastic together and voila....instant temporary greenhouse!

Where DO you get your drivel from, gecko? Don't Think Progress?

Romney's dad was a US Citizen....

unlike (Barry Soetero's OR) Barack Obama's father.

And by the way, isn't it a bit 'unseemly' for a "mod" to be attacking a PJ member's political ideas AND showing anti-whitey racism.... all in the same post? Not to mention the defamation and false presumption that you, as usual, know what every conservative thinks at any given moment in time.

One would think that you would at least attempt to fake being less biased....tsk tsk.

By Boca's "reading of the Constitution"....Mitt Romney is not eligible to be President because his father was born in Mexico.

Unless of course there's some "double" standard for white Republicans. But that's just crazy talk.

Posting Copyrighted material on PJ would allow DHS/Pentagon to seize this website, seize the owners of website bank account, seize home, and be thrown in jail with no judge, no jury, no due process.

Evidently our criminal govt has deemed copyright infringement to be the most hideous crime on the planet.

That thread was closed for reasons having to do with a copyright violation and violation of the rule for presenting such material. There has to be some sort of introductory segment before pasting a portion of an article, with a link, for consideration.

1] Entire articles are not allowed to be pasted.
2] You must make a comment on the article when you paste it.

These are not arbitrary decision nor ones based on partisan positioning. Posters following the rules . . . are fine. The rules are not difficult. They can be found here LINK

You can Private Message any mod to discuss issues of concern. We want to hear from you.

Finally, your thread displays no problems aside from this error:


Use the Private Messaging feature instead.

NOT SURE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? Why not go look????

Do what I have always done and just post the juiciest part. Here it is 1/2 of the article. Listen you can make that mistake and I'd give you the same helpful tip and a boatload of time to fix it but I know you...you'd want me to edit it for you and then credit you.

Rules are a pain but I think we'll all get used to them as we know them better. This particular rule is important and the norm for most credible websites but it is also interesting.

 

[Lapcat]

He was also a US citizen, gecko.

Again....UNLIKE Barack Hussein Obama's father.

George Romney was born in Mexico, Boca.

Boca we can't talk about a specific act by a moderator so in general I'll explain again that what is required is a source with link. If a link is not provided then I try to give a heads up to the poster. Whatever that warning may be for that article it may get locked after a fair waiting time.

 

[Lapcat]

LOL!!! Now now....you know you love me....hehe.

Don't diss me cause we're probably related.

I shall endeavor to improve.

I'm taking the same position Cotton...I pop in take a couple jabs...come back tomorrow to see how my jabs put on tilt. If I see an extremely controversial issue on a news site, I might throw out a Top Post. But, like you, being monitored on every move by certain people who take their "appointment" way too seriously...removes the free exchange of ideas and the occasional ribbing we like to give one another. Guess Big Brother doesn't just hang out in Washington DC...huh?

 

[Alinvegas]

Makes you a Welchican.

NOPE.

Sociapathic Control Freaks are everywhere.

So you can be a US citizen if you're born in a foreign country?

Hey peeps, we just need articles that you COPY and paste here to be cited. Please provide a link to the original source. In this case, we contacted the original poster a few times via PM requesting a link to be added and it was not done. We closed the thread up, attempting to get the link in there. The thread has now been re-opened, and the original copied text removed. The original poster may repost the article anytime as long as the source is included.

We are not trying to censor you, we are trying to follow copyright laws of the United States. If we fail to require you to source copied material we can get in a lot of trouble, so we have no choice. Personally, I could care less what you copy, but the government forces me to care. So if you are pissed,

at them not us!
