Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind - I never C & P with the aim to score points or to try and disgrace somebody"


I use Copy and paste to quote, this is normal on many forums and some even have the facility of a quote option to aid members, The Aim of a quote is to clarify what and who you are replying too,

Nothing to do with points or disgracing somebody.

As I said on my other post 15 Jul 2013 13:37

Copy and paste is just that, in this case it is quoting the very words posted by the author, If the author is not comfortable with having their own words posted back to them as a quote, Then the author should not post the words in the first place.

C & P will definitely cause more rr'd posts especially those from one unnamed person who is all xxxxx at the mo blowing their own trumpet - wonders. A real sado but true"

I find that comment insulting to members and not just the unnamed,

So the insults never stop

I do hope GR get a grip of these comments, you constantly post abuse about other members, Unnamed or not and it is ruining the site for all

Haven't they just!!!!!!!!

Hi Natasha,

Your comment is noted. If the C & P was just to be for general informative nobody would object.

What is of concern is the spiteful - aggressive - point scoring - intimidating kind of post with intention to bully or cause upset that is the concern.

Surely these kind of posts breaches GR's T&C's/ Board Guidelines

Personally I just can't be bothered saving my posts with the intention to C & P later. I'm a free spirit, not one to clutter my brain with rubbish. But some of the nasty posts of recent have been quite alarming.
:-D

Natasha, Thanks for clarifying the use of Copy and Paste,

Can i take it from your reply that my post above 10 Jul 2013 11:29 Was a correct analysis of when C&P is OK and when it breaches GR's T&C's/ Board Guidelines

Roy

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

Confused

My post that was sent for review last night has been reinstated but nothing received from GR about it. I wanted to know the reason given for its review.

Community Manager is noticeable by her absence from the boards for over a week.

Obviously the Team have lost sight of what makes this site work - its members.

Think that GR are going to have to reconsider their position of not having staff on duty at weekends.

If only the Abuse Team was manned that would be a step in the right direction to get problems with posts sent for review dealt with more quicker.

Also that they have the authority to replace posts if they are not considered against the T & C's and to dish out warnings or bans if necessary.

If we are to stop being able to quote and C&P (at the behest of some members)
then we are likely to find threads littered with:

Re: X's post of date/time, line 3,4 & 8 ...........

This will make threads unreadable.

Me too.
