So I…. I thought there was something in the rules about only posting original content? Anyway where are the rules?? I can't… Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by Reverend Jim Under `Keep it Organized` you will find - Do not post the same question multiple times I believe cross posting is covered by that rule. Even though is might be implied that this refers only to posting the same question **on Daniweb**, it isn't expressly stated. Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by AssertNull Is cross-posting against the rules? I believe it is not. I also … Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by happygeek I think where cross posting becomes problematical is where there have been correct answers to the question in another place but the OP continues to ask the same question again elsewhere **after** the fact anyway. That is a waste of everyone's time, on this forum **and** the other.

So I… Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by AssertNull … takes more effort to enforce than the effort lost helping cross-posters? > I'd like to see the rules more…. Your nose tingled, you did the investigative work, found the cross posts, and posted them to warn others. Happens all the… Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by rproffitt … is don't beat up the newbies. I find newbies cross post the most after that the ones that never learn… Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by JamesCherrill Re noobs... I have been worried about the aggressive responses to some recent cross posts. Nowhere in advance do we tell them not to do it. Maybe the majority of those were not aware of our views on that. I certainly think we should respond politely, at least the first time. Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by Dani … takes more effort to enforce than the effort lost helping cross-posters? I feel as if I find it less rude… Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by Dani Yes, it only refers to posting the same question on DaniWeb. Posting the same question on different forums is not against the … Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by happygeek As for the 'original content' rule that was written up for people posting editorial (back in the day when we had news story content and tutorial regularly) rather than questions IIRC. Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by AssertNull … some misguided sense of hyper-courtesy, participants are banned from posting any fault-finding with another's posts, and told “Don… Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by AssertNull > highly suggested that people link to their question Why not just go one more step from "highly suggested" to "mandatory" and let the mods use their discretion as far as who actually needs to be infracted? The mods you've chosen aren't going to go hog wild infracting people who don't deserve it. Most people who AREN'T … Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by JamesCherrill > Anyway where are the rules? Yes indeed. I think it's poor practice for us to penalise people for breaking rules they don't know about. A link buried in the TOS ("Yes I have read and approved the TOS, all 18 pages of legalese") doesn't count. There was a time when there was a direct link at the bottom of each page. Much better … Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by Reverend Jim >I think we should have a highly visible link to the rules on the page where people create a new topic I believe I've mentioned this one or twice (or a dozen) times. Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by happygeek FWIW, I agree. I'd like to see the rules more prominently displayed. Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by Dani > I believe I've mentioned this one or twice (or a dozen) times. It is, for all members with fewer than 20 or so posts. To see what they see, try asking a question while being logged out. Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by happygeek > "Keep it pleasant"? "Keep it organized"? "Keep it clear"? These all require judgment calls. Those are infractions, not rules. The rules that determine those infractions are quite clearly explained and not subjective. Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by diafol Not sure any of this is helping. Most agree it's rude. No changes to rules. Take it easy on noobs, whoever they are - noobs to DW or noobs to forums? Anyhow, this is behaviour I'm seeing more and more of lately. But as Dani once told me in no uncertain terms, there is no compunction on members to respond. Leave it to the mods :) Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by diafol I think this behaviour is becoming de rigeur. TBH, we only get posts from noobs, fly-byers and shit-tippers. Maybe the odd forum-savvy OP. Why expect anything more? Not sure if aggression was the right word James, but rudeness is certainly a fair description. Had a eureka moment. This just ain't any fun anymore. This is like pulling teeth. All … Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by diafol Dani please let me go. 7 days inactivity before allowed to delete is stupid. Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by happygeek :-( Id, be really, really sorry to lose you Alan. Hopefully you will reply to this and that will add a few more hours before you can nuke yourself :-) Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by cereal diafol! Why delete? Keep the account and allow us to keep a contact with you, I cannot imagine this forum without your posts :( Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by rproffitt Here's the dictionary for Pander (noun). "Gratify or indulge (an immoral or distasteful desire, need, or habit or a person with such a desire, etc." There has been a slew of low quality questions from a few members that were done for nothing more than to expose their spam links in the tagline or a shill operation.

Re: Cross-Posting 6 Years Ago by pty > Unfortunately I am as much in the dark as everyone else here as to how to adapt. Have a quick look at what's replaced forums in this area.
