Cynthia, Yes I do agree with you

Roy

Cupcakes - you were NanaSue weren't you?


You said......

"Cynthia no worries we have our master class C & Pr on these boards who doesn't miss an op to show off experienced C & P skills.
One has to feel sorry for us mere mortals."


I'm not worried in the least, in fact, I think you may have misunderstood me as I am quite a dab hand at the old copying and pasting skill.


I think that copying & pasting part of a past comment is absolutely fine and, as I said earlier ( I have copied and pasted it to make my point)


"It's a common feature on many sites and helps to clarify what has actually been said and to help put things into context without deviating from the subject."


I don't know if Roy agrees with me or not, but I think other sites make it easier by highlighting any quoted script so that it stands out more clearly than it does on here.

Master C & P of the boards, fess up - u luv the drama - couldn't be bothered reading back - just knew you would be there C & Ping to score points so no point wasting energy and writing loads - u mke me lol :-D :-D

NanaSue/CupCakes "What?"

JUST Proves my point,

My reply was to KenSE post on page 3 of this thread

Because I have not QUOTED what and who I was replying to you and everyone else hadn't a clue about what my reply was about

So I will repost to clarify

QUOTE "KenSE Report 8 May 2013 09:56
Perhaps if the opening post of a thread is reported then the whole thread should be hidden and closed for further postings until a decision is made "

I couldn't agree more Ken, its time GR took note and implemented that

Roy

Edit, Natasha, As has just been demonstrated above we need a quote function It has also been suggested on the suggestions board, Could you please you put it on your list for consideration.

What? <3 <3

NanaSue/Cupcakes, You have asked for clarification with regard to C&P,

"Natasha. We need a point clarifying - Copy and pasting of third party postings into a thread"

Natasha has kindly clarified the situation with regard to this matter

"Hi everyone,
I just want to clarify about coping and pasting. It is absolutely fine to copy something you see on another thread. We realise that this could be useful information to another member. However, we don't think it is appropriate to copy and paste the contents of private messages.
Natasha"

You acknowledged Natasha response

Hi Natasha,

Your comment is noted"


So it appears that C&P is fine as long as it doesn't involve copy and pasting the contents of private messages but you have continued to post comment some of which are threatening, insulting and offensive

It is obvious who most of your posts are aimed at and that in itself is also against GR's T&C's/guidelines for message board use. (You even name me in one post)

2. Inappropriate content

Please do not communicate anything that is, or could be considered to be, vulgar, profane or offensive.

Please do not communicate anything that is, or could be considered, abusive, intimidating, discriminatory, threatening, mean spirited or intended to harass or cause (or be capable of causing) trouble, upset or offence to anyone.

and

3. Your general conduct

Your behaviour must at all times be polite.

Please do not engage in predatory conduct or otherwise use the Genes Reunited Service to stalk or harass anyone

One has to feel sorry for us mere mortals ;-)

I find the objection to copying & pasting comments on threads rather strange.

I use Rootschat - as do many others on here - and the facility to copy a previous comment from another member is frequently used on that site.

It's a common feature on many sites and helps to clarify what has actually been said and to help put things into context without deviating from the subject.

For those who aren't happy with having their comments copied, it may be easier for them if they stopped posting them.

IGP ................

Have you not read Natasha's post on the previous page???

Natasha

-----------------------

She has clarified that it is indeed "absolutely fine" to c&p something from another thread.


If you did NOT read it, then perhaps you should make sure that you have read all previous posts before posting your own comments.

If you DID read it, then it sounds very much as if you are contradicting Natasha, and saying she is wrong.

IGP, Was you realy advised by GR or is your understanding just your interpretation of the T&C's?

GR community boards would never have taken off it that was the case,

No point in having Community boards on a genealogy site if you cannot copy and paste info found

Its just simple common sense

"please do not submit the same or similar material more than once."


relates to starting another thread about the same person/family

I was advised by GR that re-posting text copied from postings made by other members is in contravention of one of the guideline for message board use, that is, "please do not submit the same or similar material more than once."

Problem with putting something in writing is that you can´t deny it at a later date.

wisechild, You are correct, But some members appear to be offended by their own written words whilst claiming the same is not offensive to others


Hypocrisy of the highest order

Roy

Cupcakes - re your post "Nothing specific at the mo but there is always somebody ready to burst a bubble."

Ah - I'm with you! The xxxxs are to reserve a space in a sentence for when a suitable word becomes available/necessary?

Test - What a xxxxx idea! ;-)

Thank you for explaining.

I know that I don´t always catch on as quickly as I might, but please can someone explain what the problem is with copy & paste?
Surely you can only copy & paste something that has already been written. :-S

Nothing specific at the mo but there is always somebody ready to burst a bubble.

Our Roy seems to be on a roll at the mo - he obviously has loads to say. ;-) <3

Natasha - thank you for clarifying re copy/pasting.

CupCakes - for clarity, as you have posted several times, I have copy/pasted the post of yours to which I am about to refer -

Quote: "unnamed persons who are all xxxxx at the mo blowing their own trumpet".

I expect it is just the hot weather addling my brain, but I just cannot work out what the xxxxxs stand for. "Kisses" wouldn't make sense, so I wonder if you would mind explaining it to me? Thank you.
