Hi Tal,
Many thanks for your comments.
My comments globally go in the same direction.
I agree with your first point. Art is already doing it.
About your point #2 (research or information published as an article, inside or outside the forum : mention of Art's Forum with the author's name) : I think this is a very good proposal, that seems also very fair to me.
It is in fact quite comparable to what is done in the off-line press. And this policy is fair even if the author has been alone to write or make the research. It could be something like : "Credit (with the right symbol) : Mr.X - The ... Forum" or "Credit : Mr.X - The ... Forum". This should avoid authors concerns.
Point #3 : I fully share your view on removing posts. Look at the sadness of the "Internationalists Brigades medals" thread without Ed's contributions. It has now less sense. :mad: And it makes our own comments without accuracy.
Tal, as a Moderator, can you see with Art if it is possible to slightly adapt the terms of the "Law", so that our common considerations are taken into account, and prevent actual or future authors to post ?
Art, Ed,
Do you feel comfortable with this ?
if yes, Ed, could you post again your deleted posts ?
Others, your comments ?
A last word just to precise, if needed, that my comments are not targeted to create any legal or administrative concern to anyone, but just to clarify and highlight points that potentially seem able to weaken the Forum and its content. It has also to be seen as the opportunity to set an active countermeasure to potential sad decisions comparable to those we're talking about.
Art and others, I really hope you will take these comments and suggestions as a positive and constructive contribution, for the benefit of the Forum and all its Members.
Cheers.
Ch.
