    Please refer to my thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2047156
    I have asked if anyone has any scripts that can help me increase traffic or automate content posting on my sites/blogs. I have clrearly mentioned that scripts need not be spammy.
    Even then the only reply I got is the nonsesne from someone accusing me of stealing content.
    This is second time in a month that I have witnessed it. Last time I asked for a script to copy all contents of one blog to another, clearly indicating that I will supply username/password of both blogs which should have been clear indication that I OWN both blogs.
    Another self styled moral police crusader jumped and accused me of stealing content and One of your moderator gave me a infraction!
    I am not sure if users can continue to find DP to be a useful forum with these kind of unpleasent experiences.

    proposed solution is to do what we follow in real life. If someone has a problem with a thread/ post etc. Bring it to attention of MODS. Don't try to appoint yourself the judge in haste.
    And in order to deter the moral policing users should be warned sternly whenever such incident happens.

    This is pretty much what we follow in real life socities. Allowing self styled moral policemen to run amok might be OK in Afghanistan but is a sure recipe for disaster elsewhere.

    That's already what happens via the "Report Post" option.

    So you want the already busy mod team to censor the opinions of other people because they disagree whit you . I'm sorry to hear that you got a infraction for nothing but just like in real life you have to ignore certain people . After all business is business and money looks the same no matter what hands are holding them .

    Quite a lot of them, from what I see. Can't be helped.
