Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 21, 2004 I modified the figinator's post to perhaps appeal a little bit better (although, I don't see how "Already posted" constitutes an "attitude"), but the problem is this: If you aren't the source for that news post (that is, your post was independant of the news post), should you be given credit? Personally, I don't think so, even given the locality of the two posts. If Voodoo pilfered the info off your post without credit (something I know he wouldn't do), then we'd have a problem. In any case, the post you had made was closed because the topic exists on the front page. I'm not the mod for the BPN, but I believe the policy is to close duplicate threads in order to keep discussion centralized to one location, which would be our comments system. Don't take offense to having a thread closed, we're just trying to avoid split discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Who cares if you get credit or not, you ain't winning the poletzer prize! get over it. :sleep: A lot of my BPN Posts are either.. 1. Ignored. 2. Posted with credit by someone else 3. Posted by a Newspowser when I knew I posted it first. Do I whine and bitch? No? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonobozoot Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Who cares if you get credit or not, you ain't winning the poletzer prize! get over it.?:sleep:: It's the Pulitzer prize. The thing is we get see a news item, not who posted it first. Hardgiant, as credit for posting first, here's something for you. Sheesh, what a:sleep:: boring post.

alero Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Did you write the article. Probably not. Voodoo may have not even checked the BPN and found it some other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
