The rule at ASF is that all copyrighted content taken from other sources on the web must be put in quote tags or quotation marks and a link to the original source material included.
Only a small portion of any copyrighted content may be reproduced on ASF, as this is considered "fair use". More information on this topic can be found in this thread: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10373
If it is user generated content from a competing forum then just paraphrase it or write something up yourself.
I don't understand why there is the need for so much angst and conflict over such a simple matter.
Anyway, I have deleted the off-topic posts from this thread in the hope that we can get back on topic.

Great to see that those off topic posts have been sorted out!
Having dealt with the off topic posts, why does the breach of copyright remain?
Surely the breach of copyright (i.e. the offending post) should be deleted also as the original poster, should they wish, can repost with the correct link to The Motley Fool if they feel so inclined.

If the original post is removed then the entire thread is also removed. I think a thread on retail stocks is a good idea so I have pared back the quoted section and linked to a source on the web that contains the original content. It seems that Motley Fool don't mind allowing others to reproduce some of their content as long as a link to their website is included. I found the entire article on NineMSN and have linked to it there.

Hi Joe,
Sorry for the hassle I have caused in recent times. It does appear that some members here take a great delight in having a go (a power trip) at certain other members usually with something not related to the thread they have added to. Given that I know Country Lad was getting fed up with certain members here he appears to have had enough and maybe he will return if it suits him. Personally I have had enough of the crap, they can now try and provocate others off the site. As is often the case in situations like this, that it is the minority who spoil it for the majority
.I hope some members made some money as a result of my charts - usually they were stocks that had just hit a 52 week high that day.
Have a nice day now
Regards
PB
