Introduction RonPrice

Greetings. I have been looking over some of your doings in the Community thus far and I must admit that it makes me suspicious of your intentions here. They (your posts) seem to be self focused and a copy of content elsewhere and not really posted so as to contribute to the Topic at hand. Please relate to me what is your purpose in the Community.

Introduction RonPrice

Dear 'suspicious'

My intentions are to participate by (a) posting relevant responses to the posts of others and ( postings my own items on the topics concerned.-Ron

RonPrice Introduction

Posting relevant responses are welcomed, however please make sure the content is original and not a copy as in your previous Post. You may also wish to get a gist for how Posts are handled here as this Community is unique and distinct from others especially in the way we handle content.

"Posting my own items" must be carefully done. Ensure you read our Constructive Posting Policy or you will find the Bots and Moderators will quickly bring your efforts to a halt. If you are merely looking to share your thoughts then you may wish for a Blog to be opened for you within that section, see the Compare Page.

Lastly, if you have any questions then please do ask here after browsing through our FAQ Board.

RonPrice Introduction

Dear JB

I have now posted 3 items:(today)

1. an introduction in the welcoming section
2. an item on "what do you want to do when you grow up?" and
3. an item on Doris Lessing

They are all "original" pieces. I put copied parts of more than 3 words in quotes; I was a teacher for 30 years and am quite sensitive to plaigiarism. I go to many forms and sites and use the same "introduction" at most sites. Is this also a no no in your rules and regs? The piece on Doris Lessing that I wrote I posted at several sites. Is this a no no?

Let me know if I am outside the rules. My reading of these rules sees me as okay, thusfar--from my perspective. You have a fine site and I would like to participate.But if I have to run everything by an inspector, I think it would be better for me and you if I left now.-Ron Price, Tasmania

RonPrice Introduction Introductions & Member Sharing

I have noted all your Posts and they are replicas of content elsewhere on the net (yes, we research). When Posted in the fashion you are posting it they are seen as spamming in this Community because you are not really adding anything new to the Discussion with original content but merely reposting content from another site to promote you as the author. You must admit that you do come across that way - your Username is your name and at each Post you emphasize your name as author and your presence on the net.

I am sure you can add a lot of worthwhile input here if you will merely share your thoughts that has NOT been posted elsewhere before. However, if you cannot Discuss and merely just want to Repost content from another site whether yours or not then this is not the place for you. If you can participate without the copy and paste material then by all means we will love your input.
