Thread Plagerism

Hard Copy

Board Business & Questions: This forums should be used to post questions regarding site policies, problems with site functionality/features, and respond to announcements from ownership. This is not a place to post complaints.

If you believe someone has plagiarized your thread or topic, please ALERT us to it and include as much supporting information as you can in the alert.

Duplicate threads can and do happen unintentionally. ATS is a big place, there are lots of forums and news can move fast. When notified of duplicates in a timely matter, we can close them and direct discussion to the proper place, hopefully with a minimum of hassle.

If you believe someone is systematically lifting links from existing threads and using them to start new ones, please let us know and provide as much evidence as possible to support the claim.

What NOT to do is start a vague complaint thread in BB&Q and attempt to "call out" other members or try the matter in the court of public opinion. That is never productive or appropriate for this or any forum, and is why this thread is being closed.

Existing ATS policies and procedures are sufficient to handle cases such as these. Let's please give them a chance before presuming to make up new ones.

Thanks.
