    If he says "hello" to you on the street you'd better not tell us. You could be in trouble for quoting him!

    Is that not in a round about way a legal threat against boards and therefore a banable offence. That's my view of it anyway.

    I had considered that, but I'm taking the lenient view for the time being.

    I can see the logic of it to be fair, might be missing one key phrase though to keep it kosher.

    I can see the sig holder being wary of having his/her posts being published out of context on other sites/papers etc. Now if this disclaimer would hold up in court is another matter...

    I thought the same as P_1 and that it was a sort of "don't take my advice and then start complaining that it didn't work" or blame Boards.

    And don't ban him, he could end up prosecuting you to the full extent of Irish law :pac:

    Is that one of the guys who had a post lifted verbatim and published in a red top rag as the journalists own writing? I don't think this is a prevention of quoting on thread more aimed at plagiarism.

    You don't need the disclaimer tbh. If it's as I mentioned in my last post then the simple fact that he wrote his own words gives him copyright on them. The disclaimer is unnecessary. I a post of mine was printed in a newspaper I could bill them for standard rates or sue them for plagiarism. It's the same principle of them publishing someone's photo without their permission. There have been plenty of cases of photographers billing newspapers and them paying up.

    I wonder if something like that is covered under the terms of use here?

    Can you sue/bill a newspaper for plagiarism if they copy a post you made here word for word in one of their editions?

    Could be Sherlock's Law working in our favour for once ;)

    Sounds just like a two-fingers to the newspaper group. It's more or less exactly the preposterous announcement they came out with recently about linking to them.

    And the Internet Darwin award goes to... :D

    I remember a time when someone with such a sig would be hung, drawn, converted to an integer, and spread so far across the interweb that they could never post anywhere again with any iota of credence.

    How times have changed.

    Hope they were banned as it's a clear violation of site T&C. :D

    How is it against the T&C? Just wondering!

    Technically, part of the T&C of posting here is that boards, as a publisher, can serve what you say on the internet.

    Just like when you quoted my post, I inherently gave boards the right to display it and you the right to quote it as part of the deal of being a contributor here. :)

    Thanks for the answer! But could we be used in a book because of the T&C's?

    No problem being quoted here etc but wouldn't like to see my posts in a book or newspaper!

    No clue there mate..

    Personally, I'd be thrilled if someone wrote a book about me.... or even if I had a cameo appearance in someone else's.. :D

    What's the official line on this?

    Is anything that is posted fair game or do posters have any sort of control over what happens to their posts after they've been posted.

    The reason I ask is that there's some anecdotal evidence of some rugby journalists plagiarizing some posts over on the rugby forum.

    Ben Dunnes Consumer section in the Sun of a Saturday robs most of it's stuff from the Consumer Issues Forum, it's fair game.

    Dav has a post about it here somewhere.

    Why not meet fire with fire, and post up the totality of the offending organs? Death notices filched from papers would be most useful to many.

    Well we have the rules about being only able to quote a paragraph in place, surely the same rule should apply to the newspapers?
