That's very interesting!

Moses154 · 05-24-2008, 01:27 AM

i wonder if they are some side help website teamed up with us?? if not thats not kool taking credit for somthing they did not help with

Jack.Sparrow · 05-24-2008, 01:36 AM

I would assume that there would be links going to and from the website if that was the case.

I don't know what TSF's copyright laws are either. This one's for the admin's I think

Even though it's fairly evident, I don't think it can be proven that they did copy the thread though.

JohnthePilot · 05-24-2008, 01:40 AM

I've alerted Admin to this.

Moses154 · 05-24-2008, 02:28 PM

**Deleted090308** · 05-24-2008, 02:54 PM

They've stolen some of my posts too - at that site I'm called SergioSantos, urgaffel etc.

last year I was a moderator of a forum where someone came and wanted to purchase access to the posts and membership list so they could add it to their forum to inflate the membership and make it look active.

Just so you all know, we take issues with plagiarism seriously and do try to take action if found.

As for TSF's copyright rules, here they are from the Rules section:

All content, unless otherwise protected, is the property of TSF and may not be disseminated, copied, transmitted, reproduced, or otherwise used except at the discretion of TSF, its administrators, or its assigned proxies. Any Staff members wishing to use such material outside of TSF may NOT do so without the written permission of the Administrators or the assigned proxies of TSF. Any material from another forum that is posted in TSF for the purpose of assisting users or as tutorials, may not be posted unless the Administrators of TSF are satisfied that the forum in question has given written permission for such material to be used.

What's the modus operandi when this happens ? Do you contact the admins of the other forum to get the posts removed ? Those 2 guys joined recently on their forum, if we could get the admins to disclose their ip address we could check whether they're registered here on TSF. But the way they did it it sounds like it could be the admins themselves trying to inflate the number of posts...

Linderman didn't take it bad at all. If it were my posts I'd make sure to register on the other forum to tell them what I think of it

Could TSF make money from lawsuits ?

Moses154 · 05-25-2008, 02:07 AM

I hope you guy dont think i had anything to do with it i just found it i will also give my ip if needed for prof

Jack.Sparrow · 05-25-2008, 02:10 AM

I don't think you would have pointed it out if it was you moses.

The copyright thing - I've read the rules so many times but that's the only section I've always skipped over

Living up to you username I guess.
