Thanks for the reminder Knap. The memory banks for some of us aren't what they used to be. Oh and a BIG thanks for helping to watch over the best board on the WEB.

Link not working...

I did find the link in another thread but it didn't quite answer my question.

 

I know it's been talked about but I can't remember the answer: I know we can't copy/paste premium info so I'm guessing we can't reference it either but I thought I'd ask. Is is ok to say "I read on Rivals that ..." without directly quoting or is that taboo as well?

 

Thanks.

I wouldn't reference pay sites at all. AR Husker Fan can give the definitive answer here but in general I wouldn't think they'd appreciate any reference to their paid content on a free site.

 

Further, there isn't anything Rivals has that you can't get anywhere else - and Rivals isn't even always the first to break a story.

Links throughout this thread fixed, by the way.

I figured that was the case but thought I'd make sure.

 

Thanks.

knapplc is correct. It isn't that having the content behind a pay wall makes it more "protected" - it's that those sites are more likely to take action to protect what amounts to their revenue stream. So, best to not quote, paraphrase, or mention at all. Thanks!

I just noticed the caption "Warning Points" underneath my avatar on my profile page......can a mod explain how this works?

[zoogs]

When a moderator needs to warn a user or take action such as ban, suspend, post moderation, we do it through the Warning Panel and that's how you accumulate points. You should be notified when you are warned.

 

However, keep in mind

 

-- warning points aren't always added when action is taken

-- warning points can expire or be removed, but typically we don't do this

-- we refer to our notes in a member's warn history & discussion (if necessary) rather than follow the number of warning points, so it's rather cosmetic.
