Posting Links to Sources

Copying and pasting material from other websites needs to be done with some thought and care. Nearly all content, articles and images are copyrighted and owned by the authors, often requiring permission before reproduction.

Not that you would thinks so, judging by the vast amount of material posted across social media everyday taken from other websites! 😲

Warning - Is it copyrighted?

When you do copy/paste content, do check that we won't be receiving a "take down" notice from the owners if they see it posted here. Such an event would probably lead us to having to quarantine and then check numerous individual posts and possibly an entire ban on similar posts in the future.

Link to Content

After copy/pasting, please do add a link to where you found the material. (This is noted in our Community Guidelines.) Example of linking:
