Member(s) Robbing Your Post wo/ Your Permission

Forum Rules *Please read*


11, No theft of posts. Do not post or distribute others work without permission.


Forum Rules 

I did not rob your post. You deleted yours. I edited my replies. 

Why don't you take a look at Rule #10:

10. If you quote someone else's text or use their images in your post, you must acknowledge their work and/or quote your source.

You violated that one with unattributed images, then deleted your post when I called you on it.

I am very offended by this wrongful accusation.

EDIT: all of ET's Sky posts are copy and paste text. Never an original word or thought goes into them. My post (the one in question) was written in my own words. I don't think it's possible to steal ET's work: none of it is original.

And how many members in this community use screenshot images off of Google Maps or Google Earth PhotoSphere that were taken by photographers. Did those community members, get those photographers' permission to use their photos in this community.....NO!

The irony here is that you "liked" TheLedge's post just yesterday and ignored it today. Now your side-stepping the issue at hand.

You owe me a public apology for making a false accusation publicly.

So I Liked his post, so what! Unfortunately this is the only community forum where I am prohibited in reporting posts of members without getting banned. Why should I apologized to you, I created the original post and I deleted it and you took it over and accuse me of this and that. I thought only the Staff Member(s) are allowed to edit someones post.

Would you like it, if took over one your posts and re-edited it.

ET, Gregg, Enough.


ET, you deleted your post, gone, finished, no more claim.


Gregg edited his own post that was in reply to your Original Post that you deleted.. he did not edit your post.

Gregg, your first reply caused ET to delete his post, you then edited your reply to take over the Subject. Not a wise move.

They're the facts.

I normally wouldn't reply to a post like this that has aired two members argumentative disagreements in public,

The norm is to sort things out in private, but, you two have a history of rocking the boat and seem to enjoy sparing with each other out in the open, 

Well, members really don't enjoy your escapades, and, the moderators have had enough of it as well.

We have far better things to do with our time here and expect members to respect that, but, if you wish to continue to be seen as making fools out of

yourselves, so be it.

We have discussed, and can do something about that.

So far the discussion has got to the point of banning or time outs,,,, but who is at fault ?

In my opinion it takes two to tango in situations like this, the continual picking and stirring is unnecessary,

So, my recommendation to the other Mods will be, unless this recurring bickering between you both ceases, is that you both share the resolution.

That resolution will be at least a "time out",, but because this is not the first time there has been trouble, and the Mods have had enough of dealing with

this behavior, the possibility of banning is very real.
