A word of warning to EVERYONE
Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2019 8:43 pm
For those with access to the technical section of the forum, please do not ever copy and paste content from the restricted access area of the forum into the public area, whether that be text or screenshots. It is much preferable to advise whoever needs/wants such information to earn their own access.
For all, quoting posts should be kept to a minimum. There are very few situations where quoting is absolutely necessary yet daily I and other moderators on the forum are having to clean up threads where we find quote upon quote upon quote.
This all comes about as I have had to remove a undoubtedly quite useful thread because someone with access felt it was OK to copy a technical topic with TEN screen shots and posted all these screen shots into a topic in the chat forum. This was worsened by the fact that the forum user the information was posted to help decided that a quote of all ten screenshots was the best way to reply and say thank you.
I have not given any warning in this instance but this has to stop.
If the quoting problem persists, Tapatalk will be removed from the forum or restricted to those who have made a paid donation to the forum only.
