Please Read: Linking Back To Sources

PrintFolks,
When you find a good story and feel like sharing it with everyone else, be sure to link back to your source. In fact, it's even better if you only post a portion of the original piece and allow everyone else to read it in its entirety where it was first posted. This way, we avoid perceived acts of plagiarism.
There was a post earlier today that copied and pasted an identical post from ClutchFans, word for word, without giving any credit to the original author. This can NOT happen if we are to be able to share stories from around the web.
So, be sure to link back to sources EVERY TIME you find something elsewhere on the Internet.
Thank you,
Tom
No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

As long as we're laying down the law
(and not to get off-message or anything, Tom):
If you only have a link, please use the fanshot system to submit it. If you have something longer to say, then use a fanpost. Basically, the word requirement on fanposts is there for a reason, and it’s frankly pretty annoying to have a bunch of fanposts that include a bunch of nonsense to get up to the quota.

No, you're 100% right.
If it’s a single link – FanShot it.
