Personally, I don't care if someone does that to me or anyone(MUST USE DIRECT QUOTE) because that kind of activity can teach us to be careful what we say.....it can be a learning, growing process if done correctly.......or not. By the way, is there an AD rule about this? If not, talk to Alex or let the membership here decide.

How can you say that you don't care when it never happened to you yet. I have no problems with members here opposing my views, but dragging my views in another forums has no related where I posted my opinion at. Why should my view be posted in other forums? What reason for it? To bashed me, or back-stabbing, or just like to cause trouble? If someone has a problem with my point of view, say it to my face not behind my back or in any other forums out of AllDeaf. I've seen my name being brought up so many times that I've lost count. Why do people do that? Just to make themselves get a center of attention, or just have no life? *sigh*

She got a point there, Tousi :bowdown: to Cheri
 
Cheri, Come on...please light up...

I was playing around on GA's opinion....

There is no gaurentee to protect your speech from AllDeaf forum. That's too bad. If you spill something in class or conference, they would steal your quotation. That is too bad that any reporter, classmate, co-worker, family member, best buddyand stranger would print it right away from your speech. Same as from any blog or forum.

Cheri, that is exactly why I cut and paste from every person. So sue my bum.....

Cheri, I agree with you, over-all; however, notice, I added positive as well (agree, praise, etc)? People who misuse the right of free speech are exposed for their immaturity, lack of knowledge, comprehension, etc. We see information being exchanged all the time in various media. For example, if you went to a former forum where you had a brief stay and did not like it, you might have a different and pleasant experience next time. Things and people change all of the time. You might note the number of posts that I have here (which noone has noticed yet, lol) is twice what I have somewhere else. I get deeper satisfaction at another place and like it better. I like AD for different reasons. And if you think I have never been bashed really badly anywhere, what do you think that says for me? There is another side to this whole thing, too but until it is brought up, I'll not say anything. Like my old buddy, Nutty says, I talk too much! LOL! Ever notice how he and I can "insult" one another and have remained the best of online buds?
 
Cheri,

Speaking about having your (almost) exact commets in another forum without your name. I understand that it is very rude of posters for not adding your name on the quotation. However, the mods for another forums may not accept your name/userid of AD since they are afraid that they will be named in the lawsuit for slander, defamation, actual malice, false imprisonment and invasion of privacy. Methinks that it would be ok to mention the name of author for your permission so that you would probably recieve the credit. Without the permission, that's too bad since there is no record of copyright. Keep in mind that AllDeaf does not have copyright....
 
It depends, sometime people work so hard to make quote that make them inspire and proud of. That show who they re.
 
Not even one person had ever asked me for permission to copy and paste my point of views that I've made in this forum. Where's the respect? If someone has something to rant about, rant it in my face. None of the forum moderators or ownerd ever done anything about it, They allow to bring problems from another forum into their forum. How is that showing maturity on their behavior? That's why I love AllDeaf better because Alex won't allow that to happen here. He has highly respect for all the deaf forums out there. That's why I fit better in here with maturity admin. and moderators instead of immature admin. and moderators out there in other Deaf forums. Because those individuals think freedom of speech, gives everyone the power to say whatever they wish to say, the right to critique others. I always ask myself, What's the purpose of that discussion?

don't need playing around w/me..
Isn't my mood..
ok
just seriouis talk
take your time!
 
Now I have a better understanding of what's happening.

I didn't know all that was happening in other forums. If people are copying posts from here just to post elsewhere out of a desire to "bash" other members, then I say that is wrong to do.
 
I had to put AD on hold for a few mins - I had to beat the mailboy at work...now here is my opinion.

No, I would not like someone C/P my postings on other forums...I would not like being misquoted, taken out of context, or having them altered to make it look like I was being a nasty, evil and foul-mouthed person.

I do know that there are a lot of forums for the deaf out there, and while I prefer posting in two forums, I do occassionaly check in the others to see what's going on.

On those few occcasions, I have noticed that many of the postings included quotes from here and other forums...and this is kind of dismaying...

Because when you take a post and quote in another forum, you lose the whole meaning because it does not include the whole thread where the post orginally came from and therefore, will not have the same meaning as it did.

Also, Ive seen where some people took a whole post, took out some, and then pasted in another forum, where it looked like it was a real quote, and slanted to make someone angry or go off topic.

Just my nickel.

Very good points. :gpost:
 
It is wrong for someone to copy a member's quote and then carry it to another forum and paste it in there without asking the member for her or his permission.

There is nothing wrong with c/p for your college assignments. :smoking:
 
If a statement is posted in open forum of AllDeaf, it is NOT private, as it is out for the world to see. If you don't want something quoted, you should be more selective in where you post it, such as a confidential forum with rules that govern that quoting is not condoned by administration. So far, there are no rules in AllDeaf which warrant any declaration of such privacy, therefore none should be assumed.

Thanks, Reba. Coming from you, that means quite a bit.

Nah, I wasn't too rough on him...he's such a nice older fella and always ready with a quick smile and a friendly hello.

Also, to clarify something - it could also be considered plagiarism if someone were to copy your post and then paste in another forum and pass it off as his/her own. It would probably be found out, if the person doing the c/p does not have the same language skills as you do...and that would mean more trouble right there and then...having people think that the person doing the c/p is actually you under a different name.

I haven't voted yet because I'm not sure that I understand the question.

Do you mean that people are using someone else's posts but claiming them as their own words?

If someone used my posts but used proper attribution I wouldn't mind. If someone used my posts, word-for-word, and claimed that another person wrote them, I wouldn't like that.

It would probably be considerate to request permission before using someone's posts in another forum. Sometimes the posts here are direct responses to other posts, and if taken out of context could have entirely different meanings.

No, this is in reference to a DIRECT QUOTE with credit given to the original author and a direct url/link provided to an original post in OPEN FORUM and not for the purpose of bashing, but rather informing.

I agree, whole-heartedly that anyone supplying a quote should also provide a link so that the information provided is not misconstrued.
