So I emailed the roar last night about all this and this was the reply I got. Has there been a mid understanding?

Thanks for getting in touch.

I know what you're talking about. Basically, the short story is that at some point, on the FourFourTwo Forums, entires articles from our site were being copy/pasted across. That's plagiarism and really hurts our site.

We asked if instead of entire posts being placed on the site, that at the maximum a paragraph or two from the piece should only be posted.

It appears as though that was interpreted as no links, ever. That's not what we want - it's allowed, just so long as a complete article isn't copied across.

Guys like Mike Tuckerman, Tony Tannous, Vince Rugari and co should be getting as much exposure as possible as they contribute strongly to the football media landscape.

We'll work on getting this rectified. Let us know if you feel there's a good person to speak with about it.


Cheers,
Tristan
