Good to know, I guess. If it's not YOUR words, no sir. You can write up your own words and link to an article as described above. I'm through dealing with ignorant editors and authors. It's not worth the hassle. |

Unfortunately my other post to this was deleted with having to revert to an old copy of the database. I had a nice little rant about how ignorant sports editors are about their material being spread further across the interGoogle. I can't help wonder if they spent more time actually editing the material prior to being posted on their precious ad driven websites, maybe they wouldn't be so insecure?
All that's being asked is you write up a few lines leading into the main subject of the linked content. You can copy/paste quotes because those are the words of the person are not owned by the linked source. It's really not asking a whole lot and gives the board something to discuss. A brief opinion on a subject actually furthers discussion more than an entire linked material. I believe this because it gives more room for others to interject their own opinion and expand the discussion.
I believe Formo mentioned PurplePride.org went through something similar. |

A little reminder, again.
Do NOT make a post with NOTHING but a link. That is SPAM. Do NOT do that. If you want to share a link, by all means, do so, but for the love of Aaron, ADD your thoughts at the very least!
If you make a post with nothing but a LINK, there is a good chance the post will be deleted. |
