Isn't it against the rule to post an article as is without putting your own comments in the OP?

Oh... Yes. It is.

  • Do not post just a link. Links have context - expound upon that context. For example, Mario Piano Videos. Post a link, but also give some background on what the link is to. Try to avoid simply copy and pasting the article to which you are linking.

Plenty of other users on this site do the exact same thing.


i had a conversation with with kresnik on the matter.  if you OP consists of "http://NewsSite.com" you'll get warned.  if you at least put in the effort to move the content over you'll be okay. 

seriously, without you Nsanity we'd have no threads to talk in..   keep it up!

"Try to avoid simply copy and pasting the article to which you are linking."

He never even tries. Like... at all. No comment, no position or comment  of his own to move the discussion forward... Just a bland copy-paste. Which the rule specifically doesn't condone.

Why is it a big deal? He is one of the best contributors. The rule is there to prevent propagtion of false stories. I think the mods and the members trust him enough to let it pass. I got it all wrong.
