Site rules published!

MediaHound · 05-24-2008, 11:36 AM

It's time we have a more transparent set of rules available for viewing at any time!

So, I have created this page of rules that I hope you will find useful and informative:

Bananas.org Rules

There's a link to these rules from the "Quick Links" menu of options, found in the navigation bar of any page.
If you ever have a suggestion for a rule that should be added, expanded, or revised, please let me know!

Kind regards!

Jarred,
I do have one question that I want to make sure I understand before I comment. #14 says I cannot share a thread with anyone other than on this board. Is that correct? Reason is I visit several other boards and sometimes someone has posted some very good information about a subject that I may want to share with someone on another board and I like to link it to them via another board. Is this permissable or would I just have to tell them about the thread and have them get off the other board and go to this forum and try to locate? I have invited many folks this way to our forum and they have thanked me numerous times for showing this place to them. Like I said, I just want to make sure I, as well as everyone else, understands what you are wanting.
All in all, I think the rules are GREAT and appropriate!!!

Thanks for the question Randy, its a good question.
Let me clarify.
Rule $14 is currently:

Quote:

14. You may not use, reproduce or distribute any forum discussions, content from the banana wiki, or other posted content anywhere other than on Bananas.org. The exception is that you may share photos hosted on Bananas.org on other websites, each photo will give you the code to share the photo elsewhere.

The intent is so that people don't copy and paste a thread or someone's posting onto another site. This is so people are not quoted out of context (or not properly quoted at all), also so that our information is not copied and reused without permission, etc. Posting a link to a thread is encouraged though, just please not the actual content of the post itself. Posting images is alright because they have a watermark and people know where the picture came from.
I will revise the rule to make it clearer!
