If you post it they can do it, but it is not right, send a PM to the person and see what they say

thelawfull · Apr 4, 2013

Its all good, I guess I cant control the internet. Atleast what I wrote will spread and help people out.

DragonSlayer95 · Apr 4, 2013

Just like Don said, if it's posted on the Internet, it very well can happen and not really much that can be done about it unfortunately.

TheBritton · Apr 4, 2013

Yeah, I can understand the frustration. We all want to get recognized for our work and discoveries

It's also good for our tips and tricks to get shared to help enrich the community and it's always respectful to mention who helped you out although that doesn't always happen.

I would send a very nice and polite PM asking if he can give you a thanks in his thread. That is about all you can do.

unfortunately that is the nature of the beast some will come here and take a tip and place it elsewhere and claim it as their own. I guess you should be honored they stole your tip but that just doesn't seem right either. Some people have no morals

it appears to be a single post in the thread, so you can post under it, saying that he should cite his source, then link to your own post.

Copy paste, the illness of the web, you can only ask them to mention the source. I hope they do. There should be a copy paste police someday...

Wouldn't that put Huffington Post and half of the interwebs out of business lol?

thelawfull · Apr 4, 2013

I think you are reading too much into it. I think he is just spreading the word and not actually trying to take credit for it. Yeah, the intro before the instructions was a straight copy as well, but it seems like he is just spreading the word and either being a little lazy about copying or your words more or less expresses his feelings as well. He didn't claim that he came up with it himself in his post, so I don't see where he is trying to take credit for figuring it out.

Personally, I enjoy posting on forums like this to help people and if they spread any helpful tips around to others, I'm all right with that. It means less typing for me if someone else forwards any advice of mine ahead of me.

Think there is. I know with some websites, usually newspaper and song lyric sites. If you do a copy and paste, there's some code in the site that automatically adds the site's URL as an attribution to what's been copied and pasted. Of course there's nothing to stop someone erasing the attribution URL afterwards, but it's an extra step the "plagiariser" has to go through.

I sometimes copy and paste tips, tricks and advice on from one site to another but i always start by saying I found the information on another site, it's just good manners.

SiempreTuna · Apr 5, 2013

A few years back I had a site on which I'd posted a long (humorous) diatribe about Volvo drivers. I then found that someone had copied the page and put it under a URL something like www.volvomotors.co.uk (can't recall exactly and I'm sure it no longer exists).

There was no attribution .. which was just as well as I'd just started doing some work for Volvo :eek:

thelawfull · Apr 6, 2013
