Title: Is it possible to post same thread in different forum?
Post by: ankurguta87 on May 23, 2018, 09:32:22 AM
Hi,

I dont know whether it is ok to post same thread on different forum if it is quite related to both of the forum. For example, if I found some organized scam related to ICO or MLM scheme which I also want to post in my local country thread.

or It will be a violation of Bitcointalk rule base?

As long as you use a reference which is clearly visible then I believe it should be ok for BitcoinTalk forum. Other forums may have their own set of rules. If you copy paste something from other forum or website without any reference they you might get caught on plagiarism ban.  

These are the some options I will consider to keep myself safe in BitcoinTalk forum.

Option 1:

This is the body of the article from the other forum.

Code:
[quote author="www.theURLofTheOriginalArticle.com"]This is the body of the article from the other forum.[/quote]

Option 2:

At the beginning of the topic I will write an introduction with the reference URL which will clearly explain that I already posted the same topic in somewhere else.

You can post in both, though the one in your local board should probably be in the local language.

what if both board are English boards? It is allowed to post same thread on both boards?

Depends on the thread, but there's probably few good reasons to have two topics in different boards (though you can have threads in both the main Marketplace and alt Marketplace for instance).
