Hey... uh, BF2S forum'ers. Listen, as a writer I obviously appreciate when my work is deemed worthy enough to post on some innocuous internet forum, but man... at least keep it unedited with my name attached to it.

If you like my stuff, head over to pointsincase.com, I do a weekly column over there. In the meantime, stkhoplite - just because you didn't say you wrote it doesn't mean you get to delete my name and any PIC.com references from it. If you want to post my stuff here, feel free, but throw the link back to the actual article and my name up there along with it.

Kthx!

It looks like your request has been heard. Thank you admins/mods. Bullshit can be fun, but too much of it just isn't. As a uni student, I completely agree with you Chris. Quote the source or quote nothing at all.

This guy signed up today, it may just be someone from this site. No one said it had to be Cphelan......

Cphelan ---> Registered: 2007-02-07

What are the chances that Cphelan sees his "story" on BF2s the very same day the post was posted.

He is registered under the same email as Chris Phelan on the website he posts on. Additionally, it doesn't matter whether or not this is the real Chris Phelan, this has been a long time coming and people need to understand and respect copyrights and intellectual property on the internet.

Maybe do an IP check and compare it to any current BF2s users?

I agree as to news/blogs where the author has an identity, but it gets cloudy when it comes to ctrlv/ctrlp with doctoring from other forums as it's like a chicken before an egg question and some bullshit threads get passed arounds 100's of chat rooms.

People who aren't doing original work should spend more time lurking and getting to know a community and wait for when they are ready to do their own thinking.

Who really gives a shit about the chances besides yourself? It's 100% right to give the credit to the source.

Yeah, I mean what are the odds that a guy could read stuff on this forum without registering then see something that makes him want to post which makes him register?!

Oh.. wait...

Look guys, I was talking about the coicidence of all this happening on the same day. I agree 110% with the rules of no plaigerism, but thats not what I was going on about. So don't think I'm against what you all are saying.

But could we possibly exclude Fancy from this rule? He may plagiarize some(ok the majority ) of the stuff he gives us, but its so absolutely abnormal that it deserves to exist.
