Trying to pull a Schwarzennegar on us, CTC? I know you've got a good mug, but have you copyrighted it yet?

Malicious Intent, on May 20 2004, 04:57 PM, said:

ZP has had some trouble in the past with copying entire articles from websites with copyright notices. As BK grows in profile, I think that it is prudent to follow the rules when it comes to posting news.

That wasnt really the fault of people submitting news there, moreso the orgainzation and people running the news at that time. Which ultimately that was another thing left for me to deal with even though i knew nothing about it.

If worse comes to worse here then the news forums could be set to moderated and each one would have to get reviewed, and modified before posting it.

I think the default forum skin should be grey style because it looks pretty sweet.
“[T]here are set of principles here that are very large, larger in some measure than I think has been adequately conveyed, both internationally and certainly to the American people. Saddam Hussein has already used these weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue to try, by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. That is a threat to the stability of the Middle East. It is a threat with respect to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis. It is a threat even to regions near but not exactly in the Middle East.” (Sen. John Kerry, Press Conference, 2/23/98)

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I like the midnight metal skin.

I don't know what it is, I like dark.

Sounds good to me. Although I personally don't like copying the whole articles anyway. This way ppl can go to actual site and read the rest if it catches thier interest.

Yeah,

Copying the whole articles got a little annoying anways. It actually is much quicker to put the first couple of paragraphs and the source.

It's good that a lot of articles start off with the first paragraph in bold, so it helps stress what points in the article to emphasize.

Why don't we just post and pin the page of submitting rules we made 2 months ago?

Guide to Submissions

Good idea. We should also included in the BK Guidelines at the top. I also think its a good idea to share the info here with the members so they can provide input, and understand why we are posting guidelines to begin with.

it's better if you summarize the story in a paragraph or two and link to the source.
