It has come to our notice that there is a slight problem with plagiarism and copyright on Molineux Mix, particularly with regard to OT threads where some posts contain significant copy and pasting.
If you are wishing to bring a particular article into a discussion, please link to the article, and post small excerpts if you wish to. Do not simply c&p a complete article and risk breaching copyright
We realise that discussions on some threads do become quite involved, and in some cases there is a desire to present a large amount of detailed information in order to support a point of view. However, posts either should be in your own words - or word for word information lifted from elsewhere needs to be clearly indicated as such, with quotes, links, and an acknowledgement of source. Paragraphs cannot simply be copied and then presented as a posters own words. This is plagiarism.
