Rumor Control: Challenged subs consumed by grue

1. Rumor Control: Challenged subs consumed by grue

   #1

   This is rumor control and here are the facts:
   
   Recently all subs by Dionysus we're found to be apparent re-posts/ plagiarizing of works by other authors on other websites and thus were "Challenged"
   
   Any subs that acquire the requisite three votes of "yes" on being challenged, are hence force removed from public view and attempts to follow bookmarks or other links to them will result in Grue carnage.
   
   Thank you for your understanding and our sincerest regret for any inconvenience this may cause your reading pleasure on this day.
   
   However these missing subs can still be found in their original formats by their original authors in their original following locations:

   How hard is it to actually come up with an idea by yourself?

   I never once claimed them to be my work.
   
   I just thought I would post them here so that they reach more people.
   
   I asked for feedback on them in order to expand upon what was already there.

   The insane number of original submissions we have at the citadel speak for themselves.  :up:

   Actually you did clearly imply they were your work in the following post: (Click to enlarge)

   For those unable to enlarge the post sufficently here is the following excerpt posted by Dionysus on 5-29-2012  5:09pm
   
   

   Another insight to the strange thoughts and ideas that cross my mind. That's all for today My desire to write has been sated for now.

   If that is the case, it is quite easy to indicate that the article in question is copied, providing links back to the websites they came from and with a bit a recognition for the author.

   Moved to the admin area Per Strolen's request the post be removed from public view to prevent the creation of drama.

   Update:
   
   As I suspected, removing this thread had little overall effect given Di simply created a new thread to replace it's absence and all the expected drama unfolded with the equally expected total lack of uproar or fiery Armageddon.

   While I can comprehend the desire to keep such unpleasantry hidden, and pretend on the surface the incidents never happen, the average forum member is bright enough to usually see through such a charade. Or they are confused by rumors and here-say and often create more drama attempting to get to the truth of something then they will if we lay it out on the table for them as a set of solid facts.
   
   (It also helps us look like we're actually doing our job as admins and preserving/defending the citadels integrity rather then lording over them as do-nothing admins.)
   
   Perhaps this is something we all should discuss for future reference so we can reach a group consensus? (Or alternatively we can each handle issues as they arise according to our own personal preferences as we have been doing since times unknown, and trust in each others judgement and ability to deal with a situation successfully?)
