Replying to Sig Tutorial: Smudging And Filters

Ok thanks! I'm glad you told me all that, I would have never known.

Ahhh, Ok, I see. So do I still have to reference myself as the source?

That's right, as it has already been published, you reference to yourself.

Ahhh, Ok, I see. So do I still have to reference myself as the source?

Even if it's yours, as soon as it has been already published. If somebody ripped it, that means that it was already published.
For instance I cannot post here the topics about AIX Unix that I wrote on other forums, I can just post the link to them, or if I want to show the full text I must put it between quotes.

So wait, is that a bad thing or good?

It's bad posting copied posts without quoting them. Some people are trying to do that in order to cheat with the credit systems. We do not accept that. In order to be hosted here you must post original topics, you are not allowed posting topics copied from somewhere else on the web. Except if you put the copied text between quotes, naming your sources.

So wait, is that a bad thing or good?

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, here we accept only new tutorials. Even if you are the author of a previous paper, you must quote yourself when giving the full text, or simply post the link to the original text without copying in your post.

Well, I wrote this tut a long time ago, so it could have been passed around. >_< I posted it on like, 4 different forums. :|

Thanks for the info. Very interesting tutorial.
Strangely enough, I found exactly the same at http://www.sigtutori...-signature.html
