Iwritecode Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) So apparently copy/pasting text from one website to another = stealing. If anything I figured it was copyright infringement. But since I gave credit to the website and author, I didn't think it was a problem. Obviously it's enough for a permenant ban. Calling the webmaster's wife a "c***" is over-looked though.

At least for news articles, it depends on how much of the text you post. Posting a whole article is a no-no, but posting a couple of paragraphs and a link is ok. There's another non-sports board I'm on where moderators are elected by vote and can be recalled for abusing powers and breaking rules. It seems to work much better than situations like WSI and other message boards where mods get on huge power-trips. No complaints about the moderation here, though.

Gregory Pratt Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) WSI is as lousy a message board as I can imagine. And while I've had dustups with some people here, I love SoxTalk (even though I don't post much anymore).

lostfan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 There's some really sharp posters over there and I really do miss it. Its just not worth it, though. Soxtalk tends to get pretty obnoxious and irrational sometimes but that's just what a message board is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Just out of curiosity...did any of those angry bitter old codgers on that site who came up with cockamamy theories and "Law's" about why the White Sox would never ever ever win a World Series eat some crow after 2005? Cause they all should have been called the F out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nell Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Because I'm older (64) than quite a few over at WSI some have made fun of my age especially last week when I stated that I did not like tiered pricing for games. I don't understand why someone cannot accept someones different point of view without resorting to nastiness. Today someone called me a vulgar name and in my 4 years over there I have never called anyone something offensive. I think I will soon be a former member of WSI.

You were one of the people that actually used common sense. They ripped you apart for that tiered pricing thread. If I saw a WSI mod on the street, I would most definitely jack them in the face.

Finally someone older than me...yay!!! I was a regular but quit WSI in the summer of 2005. I don't even lurk over there. The Mods are full of it.
