Copying/Pasting full texts without adding anything original is frowned upon by the community.
Some tips to share content and add value:
- Using a few sentences from your source in “quotes.” Use HTML tags or Markdown.
- Linking to your source
- Include your own original thoughts and ideas on what you have shared.
Repeated copy/paste posts could be considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the cheetah bot.

Thank You!
Thank you for your help. No, this isn't original content. I just wanted to share some interesting stuff and I stated in my first sentence that this wasn't original.
I didn't read it again before posting and just realised i only made that statement in another post I shared.
Just tell me if this is correct procedure when sharing - I only post about 30% of the article and then write, 'continued here', followed by the link to the original article.
Thanks again. I'll be more careful next time I decide to share articles.
