Citing Professional Sources in Posts

Nebraska 2013 DB recruit Alonzo Moore just informed me that he has been academically cleared by the NCAA. #Huskers

And there was much rejoicing. Now we just need to hear from Jared Afalava.

I just posted that same tweet just a little bit modified... I'm watching you Knapp -.-.

I deleted that. You need to cite your source if you're going to post what someone wrote verbatim.

Yeah, otherwise that would be message board plagiarism. Very serious offense.

We've been contacted by local news in the past for not citing sources. Read THIS if you don't know the rules on posting this stuff. Doesn't matter if it was a tweet - Callahan makes his living with this information. We have zero reason to expose HuskerBoard to a lawsuit because someone doesn't want to cite a source.

Yeah for some reason this board takes citing sources as seriously as 9th grade English class.

Nope. Even more seriously than that. READ

guys, get back on topic.

Ive read it before and still think its an absolute joke. Most of us are part of forums much bigger and much smaller than this one that have no qualms about posting articles. It's annoying to have to have to leave the forums just to read an article.

I find it amusing that we have to cover our asses regarding sources thanks to the OWH dilholes.

If you think the rules of this forum are a joke, you're welcome to post elsewhere.

Knapplc--simple, really.

Post the IP in the open for each user and for each post. This way, Sean Callahan (or any other media body) can sue the individual posters that can't be bothered to type a few extra characters and/or offer a hyperlink back to cite their source.

After a few lawsuits, they'll figure it out...maybe. :hmmph
