It's clear this guy just copy and pasted from their website in an effort to get free credits.
I see this sort of thing all the time, do I need to call people out for this sort of thing or are mods on this sort of thing behind the scenes,
if they are they should post some sort of reprimand in the thread so other users will know not to repeat this kind of behavior?
Information that you peel off a website needs to be in quotations.
This website is designed to foster discussion about technology-related advancements, research, products etc, but it's not a place to spam topics that are technology related and you found by using google.
if you want to make use of the services offered here please at least have enough respect to do the following:
1) try not to pull the wool over our eyes, most of the real users here are tech-savvy enough to know about copy and paste and are also intelligent enough to know that a user with 14 posts who hasn't been hosted yet is probably just spamming, (especially when you are the most recent poster for a handful of topics, each of which your post consists of 3 lines of text.
2) at least try to contribute something thoughtful rather than just putting a link to a new product, great, groovy, sounds real cool-- but why did you discover it, what made you interested in it, do you use this program, does it live up the hype. This is something after about a month of occasionally posting and lurking I've come to realize is fairly common. New users specifically, but that doesn't limit this generalization to just new users, either, tend to post about something making no analysis whatsoever, instead just asking other people to begin discussing the topic-- you realize that by doing this you have only _started_ a conversation, and have _contributed_ absolutely nothing to it, and in this specific case what you did to start a conversation is actually plagiarism-- a crime in an academic environment.
I realize this post will probably get no attention here, and there are countless numbers of posts just like it,
but I feel like in order for this community to really grow threads like this one need to be made an example of,
we have a chance to make a post-to-host site really work and possibly even serve as a library/reference for web-newbies,
I don't just say this to invoke some sort of Asta-host nationalism or anything, I say it because I've taken the time to
read some of the tutorials have posted and, granted some are again obviously ploys to get credits,
some of them are actually
very good. Nothing beats good tutorials by users, nothing else gets close to that kind of detail;
but we won't ever reach that status unless we make a conscious effort to raise the bar of post quality.
Regards,
the (one, the only) Doc.
EDIT: you don't need to count this post towards my credits, Thanks.
