Title: Information from other sites eg for the WSOP
Post by: TightEnd on June 13, 2007, 12:12:14 PM
It's that time of year, when many travel across to play in WSOP events and news filters back of their progress, as with JP Kelly's excellent 33rd yesterday in the $2,500 event

We ourselves have a team of three updaters travelling across in the next few days to cover a number of the major events, live updates, articles etc. Last year we had Pab in the 6 handed, Foxy's performance and blogs galore. Happy days.

However blonde needs to make one request of you, which is as follows:

If you are providing the forum with informal news of the WSOP from other sites that information has to be sourced and attributed on your posts please. We'd far rather you put the information into your own words than copy and pasted but of course with chip counts that isn't easy.

So please keep us in touch if you see something relevant or newsworthy but, as a courtesy to the site you see it on, and to help us avoid potential problems please attribute it.


Thanks

Behave, all of you.

It's just - I'm sure you understand - but we don't much like our stuff being nicked or Cut & Pasted without attribution or acknowledgement, & it cuts both ways.

One site did an entire Live Updates from England (we were in mainland Europe), simply by Cutting & Pasting from blonde, & never attributed once!

So let's be right by all Parties.

What about if someone who is playing (or railing) sends a text to one of us with some info - 'CAMEL OUT 1ST HND' (or somesuch) - is this OK to post?

The blonde Updates often suggest I have that many.

I told danafish at Walsall on Saturday that I had 75,000 - she wanted to count them! Like, I mean, I'd lie.

Oh yes, that's perfect.
