Copying Content from other sources

I haven't been active on the other website in over 2 years....

Pretty much the same. The only time I go over there is when someone posts something here.

So I guess we wont be going over there anymore

Not to get off topic but I need to get a video of my daughter trying to catch something.

But the content from that particular source is so hilariously bad.... I guess [they] edited by moderator got tired of the lack of traffic and activity over there, and decided that we were to blame (and not that crappy new layout they tried to push and then went back to what it was before... or the general lack of post quality that they've been suffering from for years now....)

I understand that there are consideration beyond what I am privy to, but it seems peculiar that another site can make a request, but you cannot name them. Not that I think the identity is in doubt, but how can anyone be expected to follow a guideline if it cannot be clearly delineated?

So, are we also forbidden to post ML content on "other" sites?

I feel like there should be a flood of ML links onto some particular source, since they are trying desperately to use whatever "power" they feel they have over here.

Obviously, someone besides me will have to take the initiative in implementing this movement.

Has there been a legal request to stop posting content from this other site, or just a direct message? Just curious, not trying to get you into legal trouble or anything.

As a follow up, if we correct the horrible scenarios we see on this website and post it to the "I can't even" thread are we safe from this new rule? IE" I bought this server what do I do with it?" kinds of posts.

Also seems like a big step to ask their content to not be posted here, as I'm certain us posting their crappy content is driving up their website traffic.

On the other hand, we may be crashing their web servers with so many SEO links. .

Those who can, do.... those who can't... they depend on lawyers to do it for them.
