Notice for posting news articles

[yxboom]

Due to copyright restrictions an amendment has been made to our Decorum regarding posting news articles.

If other authors are cited in a post, proper credit must be given including a web link, if available, to the source. Material, other than a brief summary with a supporting link, must not be posted from a website that requires registration or subscription before allowing a user to view the content. If any news item or story prohibits unlicensed duplication, such as the Associated Press, you should post a link to a licensed source and 50-60 words or less summarizing the article. You may not post articles in their entirety from a protected source. Posts in violation of this section may be deleted without notice.

On another note a News/Article tag has been added to our bbcode.

[news={article name}*] article text [/news]

* Can be made into a hyperlink to the source

an example:

News: [url="http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19194"

Mononoke Is Back[/url]]
Yes, Mononoke is back online.

Chat with her in her dorm room.

Don't worry, she's always like that.

Happy posting!

The rules for copyrighted material have recently become stricter. Please familiarize yourself with the copyright and plagiarism rules.

While they have become stricter, I see many violations that would be unacceptable under the old, softer rules; so please be vigilant to ensure that you're in compliance.

Repeat and flagrant violators will be given warning points.
