Since Teeqoz is another user like myself advocating for the copy+paste article thread rule to be enforced, I would ask if we can look at the rule again, to see if it can be regulated once more.

I think the rule shouldnt exist.

Hey man, sorry if I misinterpretted your intentions, we don't always exactly go toe to toe so I guess I was a bit more inclined to see your comments in a critical light, but I shouldn't have become so hostile.

Anyways, I agree, we should review the rules about thread content.

Why not?

I think it should because we should be putting forth our own opinions along with the enws presented, rather than treating the site like an every day instant messenger site.

I know this works against your desire to just copy+paste and calling it a day, but some of us want that rule to be enforced.

It's all good. I was just wondering on why the call to action now, but seeing as it's being called for now, it seemed like a good time to take Ryuu's advice and bring it up in this thread.

Putting out a main snippet from the article as well as your own words on the subbject should be enough, as well as linking the article, but not copying the whole thing entirely.

I've been wanting to make a post on a recent interview from PCgamer with Sega, but if I copied the entire thing, it would end up filling a whole page due to the size of the interview

Well because by pasting an article it easier for the forum viewers so they dont have to visit an external site and its a way to have whats being discussed while people can have the chance to share their opinions by replying to it.

How come? As long as you're not saying you wrote it and acknowledge that its from an article with a link i dont see how it can be plagarism.

Just make sure it doesn't go the other way and people just post articles without any context at all. It should be a rule to have the important content within the thread without being forced to click on a link.

If you cannot get context for the thread within the opening post without clicking on a link or watching a video it should be locked. We already had a good amount of bait or spin threads that lead to confusion and false accusations just because the context for the thread title was hidden within the linked article and not the thread.

Yeah, this will be important information to know, especially if I take over the PS thread, as I want to know what I'm allowed to do when posting news, and what I'm not.
