Leeching
Recently SteveSOSP3 has brought a [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to my attention. We are aware that leeching here is very common and that others will always post leeched content. But there are rules to posting leeched content. They are as follows:
  • You must cite the original poster, and the website it came from. Links are not necessary, but it must be visible in your post.
  • You cannot ask for thanks.
For example, this is exactly what you don't want to do:
Quote:
Credits to thebestporter of sw none to me accept the leach,so please thank me for releasing it here.
I'm sorry, but what?
Anyone can copy and paste a post. The least you could do is give credits. But, when you ask for thanks, you are definitely pushing it.

This is now a forum wide rule. You cannot ask for thanks for leeching material. You will get a 10 point infraction for doing so. End of story.

Re: Leeching
I never had a problem with people putting information here. But pasting and asking for thanks is pointless.

Re: Leeching
What if the user does not post the Correct Credits?

Is that a 15 or 30 Point Infraction?

I suppose it'll be up to the Moderator of that particular section.

No, it isn't. Along with this new rule, Skyline_GTR also added some new infractions to be handed out. Take a look at them when you have the time.

That's an example from an actual post. I wouldn't bother writing something as stupid.

Can't agree more, this has been going on since ever since i joined GzP.
It should be, obvious that you shouldn't be allowed to ask for thanks.

Re: Leeching
XTZ recently told me that 95% of GzP's members are leachers. Is this true? Also, if you post a piece of material that you created, could you still ask for Thanks?

Cheers,
Richard.
