How about like this then?
The developers posted an update about [info] on [platform]: [link]
This sidesteps the issue of plagiarism. Or better yet, just add the link?
[blurb]
source: [link]
Yeah that could work too, but really just hassle having to click links to read news and dangerous too. Sure add the link if people need clarification that this is a news update for this project. Once he been told now he will know better in future.
I blame the devs more for abandoning the forum that made their project possible in the first place. Usually because they are too busy or don't want to face any probing questions from the community.
I stick to my opinion that perm ban for such an action is not fit punishment for this over-sight or general opinion it is obviously not your original work since you are not the developer (unless you are the developer). Honestly it would have never entered even into my mind that if I was posting new news for my fav projects from their twitter because they were too lazy then I needed to provide a link to the twitter announce . Seems a waste of time to me (i prefer to keep the community all on this board not going to social media and slack) and I am doing them (devs) a favour and the community even bringing them the news the dev team could not be bothered to furnish them with. Also I would be getting nothing out of it at all (perhaps only long term benefits of keeping community together and positive so they hodl not dump)
Also Just whilst you are here.... did you read my replies to your other good post? I was hoping for more discussion on that very important topic? and nobody except you is entering the discussion.
Oh just one more thing if you get some spare time can you please go here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091552.0 and see if you can add some points but also I would like if you have spare time to use your excellent english skills to construct a comprehensive statement/sentence that encompass all of the postive criteria and one for the negatives. That would be really great and only if you have some spare moments to take a look and help.
@khaled0111
that badbear quote seems unrelated to this? this is not a bump are you saying the dev of a project can not make more than 1 reply or post on his own ann per day even when answering questions? This seems to be relevant only if there was more than one major news/update announcement in a day per project which seems unlikely. I am sure new update is allowed on top of regular replies to the community. I mean it is a discussion board right.
If the news has been posted already on that thread then that is a bit different but if his only copy and pastes are this then if people think that is worthy of perm ban that is up to them. I will never agree that I think it is worth a perm ban if he is otherwise a useful and net positive poster.
I will continue to say only net negative blatant shit posters and those that are bot spamming with copy and paste for financial reasons should be perm banned.
Let's be frank this entire freak out regarding copy and paste is due to shitposters now grabbing tons of other material they never created and using it generally off topic or spun up to parrot what has already been said just to get their btc dust of dust. They are the people that need to be stopped.
Worst punishment really 1-2 month posting ban or 6 month no signature. Put him on the no sig list (we start a thread for them) from today and then we check see if he sticks to it. If not perm ban.
