Rugby Nationals Shaping Up

There are several concerns about that post.

Pursuant to copyright law, you cannot copy and paste the entirety of another post. In this instance, you have done so. You can only copy and paste a few paragraphs. Please put these paragraphs in block quotes to clearly delineate them.

Pursuant to CGB law, if a fanposts consists solely of a link to another story without any original thought of the poster, then we request that it be placed in the Daily Bear Dump. The Daily Bear Dump is a repository of all Cal news. You can tell which post is the Daily Bear Dump, because it is titled “DBD.” You’ll notice many Cal stories in there, amongst other things.

If you decide to keep the post as a stand alone fanpost, we would request that you delete most of the post, keeping only a few paragraphs of the real story in blockquotes. Moreover, you would need to add more of your original thoughts on the matter. What do you think about the premise of the story? Do you agree? Do you disagree?

Moreover, Rugby Vet, we have discussed you posting a Rugby Recap for Sunday afternoons. These sort of fanposts (with small amounts of outside stories and your personal analysis) would work perfect as part of your weekly roundup. You could include the stories, tell us about your thoughts on the stories and then weave that in to the recap of the game action itself.

That way we can achieve all of our goals. You can provide the rugby expertise we have come to love from you and we can front page it for all to see. If you continue to provide these other fanposts, then that is fine, but you would need to avoid copy right law and we can’t frontpage it, limiting its reach.
