Re: OSNN, BUZZ CORPS and HP MAGIC GIVEAWAY
Hello sushrukh,
Since you are calling out our mods and admins for supposedly not liking you and deleting your content for supposed spamming, I wanted to provide you with the hard evidence you are asking for. Each and every thread that LordofLA removed has been removed because of either a straight copy and paste without source information, or straight copy and paste with source information. At osnn.net we attempt to provide discussion, improve peoples skills and abilities and we want original content. Copy and pasting two paragraphs from an article and then linking to it is not the way to do it. Hotlinking images to other web blogs is considered rude, but it is even worse when you do it and steal their content and don't even give them credit.
Here goes:
RAID - A guide for dummies
Are you frustrated by slow boot times of your OS or load times of your games? When you transfer or copy files does your computer tell you to just come back tomorrow? Ever since the PC was invited we’ve been cursed with the slowest component in a computer, the hard drive. Even though hard drives have become much bigger and faster, they are still very slow when compared to the other hardware in a computer. Eventually, the hard drive as we know it will have to completely change, but for now we have to live with what is readily available.

Word for word rip-off from:

This article at least was credited, but you could not even write a short synopsis yourself? The two paragraphs were directly ripped from the article you link to.

How many times have you tried to play a video file in Windows Media Player and got a message that informs you of a missing codec? Sometimes, even this doesn’t happen, and the file refuses to play, or just plays audio with no video, or vice-versa.

This entire article has been posted around the web many times, however the first time is when you post it on your own website. Once again a straight copy and paste job.

This is a straight rip from
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/10/29/11-percent-of-gamers-have-unopened-games/1 written by a Joe Martin. We like news as much as the next person, but at least write your own little synopsis and blurb. You copy and pasted the two paragraphs directly from that article.

How to prevent CHKDSK from running every time your PC Starts
Sometimes you need to check the health of your hard drives by running a diagnostic on them, but you cannot fix any problems because "the system cannot get exclusive access to the drive". This problem occurs more frequently on the drive in which Windows is installed.

We enjoy having new members that bring original content, but we cannot have people spamming old content, copy and pasting from other websites all in the hope of winning some contest. The actions taken by mods were taken to keep OSNN.net both clean, and a place to come to and discuss new ideas and not have it be the same regurgitated content that is already plastered all over the net.
Feel free to answer peoples questions, to become engaged in the community, but provide new and original content. New ideas, new topics of discussion, don't just copy and paste from other communities and websites.
Thank you,
Bert JW Regeer
