IMPORTANT: Do Not Copy and Paste Entire Articles

[KnotaDinghy]

Nah.
That violates my personal ethics.

You can't just do a shadow company in say Belize like normal people do?

I like to think of it as charitable - I'm allowing others to consume any share that I might want. All in the name of career responsibility. I've too much time invested to jeopardize my current monetary stream.

Not yet.

We are piss poor Capitalists yes?

Things also get more difficult with a forum. If I reposted an article with written authorization or shared it within guidelines on a blog, I could appeal to google with my evidence and have the content indexed and monetized again.

With a forum, I would have to research each source and request authorization either from the source or have the person who posted acquire authorization and then submit evidence. At this point news and politics has a lot of topics made and most of them are articles.

My options at this point are to either delete all of the current posts made, go through myself and adjust the posts, or request the topic authors to change the posts, then resubmit to google and hope that it’s good enough.

I really don’t want to start fresh with news and politics but it would be the easier option since this is the main group they are upset about. I’m going to think of ways I can do this without effecting things too much. One option I was thinking about is to delete older posts and change up the newer ones to fit the guidelines.

I guess Google assumes they are helping you. But I wouldn't say they can prove a DMCA violation - they have no way of knowing if (example here) I have written authorization from the original author to republish - and some news sites give blanket authorization to republish as long as you retain their guidelines and agree to the terms of republishing.

But erring on the side of caution is best. It also helps you with a track record of compliance - you can show you earned us and you'll need to remove violating posts. By doing so, you won't have to turn over individual users information .

Thanks for the additional detail.

Yea, google is very strict on what they do and don’t allow. I get notices from them daily about things that need changed but this was my first real theat.

The other sites that I deal with are all original blog content. I’ve never had an entire forum group demonetized before for dmca violations but the forums that I ran before were much different than this one.

I have always thought that posting a LINK and just a few words to describe what is in the article was the best way to do it.
I’ve usually done it that way.
But some people say they are” afraid to click on Links”! They’re worried about “ viruses”!
Please reassure that it would be practically impossible to get a virus and then let’s do it your way! Definitely!
Thanks!

I can’t guarantee that nobody will post a phishing link but the ones who usually do are spam bots and they are normally caught by our spam filter.

It isn’t likely that a normal user would post a link like that. If you are worried about it, hover over the link and see where it takes you at the bottom of your browser. If it looks suspicious then report it so I can see if I need to block the person who posted.

I don’t know about droids but with my iPhone I can long press the link and the full link will show up. You need to just watch for new users (peons) and guests aren’t allowed in News and Politics but usually a spam bot guest will type in a few random letters in the sn box.

Your average user with more than 5 posts isn’t likely to send a phishing link or give you any type of virus.

If you have subscribed to an Anti/virus program for your computer , lap top , etc. the program blocks any sources with viruses .
I have. I renew it every year. It’s expensive but worth it

Does that help?

No. You failed to answer my question.

YOU asked her to "please reassure us that it would be practically impossible to get a virus"

I asked you - how could she guarantee or reassure us?

I know how anti-virus software works, extremely well. What I don't understand is what type of reassurance you think she can give us?
