If you think the forum rules differ in a significant way from what John posted, feel completely free to discuss that with me in PM, or if you don't think that'll be much use, feel free to contact John.

Otherwise, please feel free to report whatever posts you think run afoul of the TOS.

In your PM, you mentioned that you were "okay with the OP's post." It was my understanding that you were okay with posting full articles despite the copyright stuff. I was not aware that the OP had since edited his post to comply with the excerpt rule, and I'm assuming that this was what you referenced.

Neither was I. I never saw his original post.

If he had posted a full article and I had seen it, I probably would have edited it.

Folks

I got an idea...rather than handle this on the boards and show that the right and the left hand disagree over what's to be done....let's try this:


Go to pm


also...if a person unintentially breaks a rule....rather than put them out on blast...SEND a PM....

we're a ll grown here and it's really simple


Kevin...thank you for taking that first step.

There was no disagreement between the left and right hands. One mod saw your post before the edit, the other afterwards. They both agreed that the entire article should not have been posted.

And you were not put on blast. Initially you were in violation of the TOS and OTW pointed that out rather nicely in a a way that also educated other newbies about the rule.

"So hard to make Omega?" Blame it on W next time!:)

(This story has taken another twist. The 'truth will out' as the British would say! Pi Chapter has a storied history and some outstanding members presently, including Bro. Jackson, a pre-med honor student who has done research at Johns Hopkins.)

Actually, Kevin and I did take it to PMs, and what you saw here was pretty much the end of the discussion.

No one put you on blast.

Sorry but I must be missing something here?

Part of the OP posted a part of the article and then posted a link to the rest of it which filled in much more.

It should be important to let fellow Greeks know what is going on and it many times is hard to get a link from the reports I get as they are not listed.

Therefore, I cannot post these because of TOS. That should be the most imprtant part, showing how GLO's may do errors, but as is said, there are other factors involved.

While I do not agree, I have to follow the rituals of posting.

This is the decission of the MOD and The Admistrator.

lol at above comment with the puppy laughing......that's cute!

This whole situation is RETARDED! It's not that serious, all they had to do was tell the fraternity they were no longer interested in joining. They couldn't have forced them to go through the rituals.

Dang, was it that serious? (referring to the Morgan State Students, not the GC mods).
