Question for (gulp)Ed Zotti or a Admin

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=129348

In that thread you removed my link to the WallyM7’s memorial page because of a copyright issue.

Does this mean that nobody can link to that page. A link that was the banner for a few weeks and every now and then is handy when somebody asks who WallyM7 was?

No fight intended here just clarifcation as I know some people have the link in their sigs and I have posted it several times on the board.

:eek:

Does that mean Wally didn’t write Wally Tries Cybersex?

He didn’t. It’s been talked about before. WallyM7 changed it to add his name.

I’ve asked for clarification about the removed linked in the following thread.

I started it in the pit because I’ve seen many a post by a mod/Admin saying that that’s were they should go.

The above post was meant to go into the ATMB thread.

Too many windows open and not enough brain cells to deal with them :slight_smile:

I’m so disappointed! :frowning:

And you couldn’t handle this through e-mail because…?

Yes, y’all are correct. Ed removed the link.

As we wish our own copyrights to be respected, we must respect others.

Is there a reason why it should be handled in e-mail?

No, you can link to the page. This was a special case. The thread header referred specifically to Wally’s cybersex posting. Clicking on the link got you to the memorial page, where a link to the cybersex posting was prominently featured. We have no objection to a link to the Wally page, we just didn’t care to have it explicitly used as a gateway to an item we’ve been called on in the past.

Jesus. I thought I was the only one who figured out that 99% of Wally’s posts were plagiarized. I brought this up about two years ago.

Demo, have I been whooshed?
Really? Wally was a plagiarist??? :eek:

Sadly, yes.

I didn’t handle it by e-mail because as I said in the OP because it’s not just me who has posted the link. It’s a link in several peoples sig. and it’s been posted a lot of times. I also wasn’t starting a fight I was just asking a question.

Thank you for answering.

Asked and answered. Could a passing Mod be so kind and shut this down.
