I cam across a situation where I found an answer at another site for a problem I posted about on ML. Are we not allowed to give credit to content that was first generated somewhere else?

Is it one specific site? Or just a site in general? If it is a general site, by all means link away. There is only one site specifically that is of concern.

@eddiejennings is this a new meme we can use? Is there a generator for those?

Going by what I've seen in some other threads here. I think I can see why :t-rex: undies are getting in a twist.
<threadjack>
There's a kids book called "Dinosaurs love underpants"... very funny, may be relevant here...
</threadjack>Considering we don't have a secret hideout where we can giggle in the shadows. I reckon it's kind of obvious why the request has been made. No one wants to be made to look bad. Even if people feel justified to "call out" things. There's a way to say everything and to be quite honest, some of our threads make them look like:
:man_zombie: 
:water_closet:
:free_button:
(hot zombie crap dancing in a toilet, bad for your health but it's free ) -

That would be a @stacksofplates question.

Oh it was a picture I found online and changed the dinosaur color. There’s not a generator for it I just put the text on it. You may be able to put it in a generator, I’ll have to look.

We’ll sure I’m old, but younger than JB.
But I don’t hang out with kiddies so I don’t see that shit. -

Yeah, it was not secret on purpose, though, specifically not to be behind anyone's back. Since open conversations aren't able to be had there, and secret ones are not okay.

I agree 100% with this.
The I Cant Even thread has been dumb since day 1. Fairly certain i have 0 posts in that one. If you want to say how wrong someone is go post in the thread they made(you all have user id there) and 'say it to their faces', not on some other site where they have no user id and no way to defend themselves.I have posted original content to that thread of things I found on site as a consultant. Sometimes we find stuff so bad we need to share. It serves as a reference to anyone new to IT that a garden hose should not be considered conduit.

I agree, it's tough but having examples of bad things is important. Important to know what is out there, important to document what bad looks like, important to make people understand that these things really happen, important to make people understand that doing these kinds of things are not okay, etc.

STOP THE PRESSES! A garden hose isn't conduit? All kidding aside I googled that and was shocked. People actually do that.
