Few days back, there was a discussion (thread) created by about his post being rejected because of copying and pasting SAP F1 Help.

http://scn.sap.com/message/14506332#14506332

Members (including moderators) participated; there were good inputs and lastly some "clear" rules / guidelines conveyed.

In my opinion, this thread would help members of the forum.

Now when I search for this thread, it gives the following message

could you please help (clarify this)?

Has this thread being deleted? If yes, by whom and why?

It was felt that certain aspects of the discussion could reflect badly on people involved. That was weighed against the benefit to the community, and in this case, it was felt the benefit was not sufficient to leave the thread open.

The rules are:

1) Do not copy and paste from anywhere without attribution

2) Copy and pasted material must be in support of the answer given, which must substantially be the poster's own work

3) Similarly any links in a post must support the answer given, not the answer itself.

I think that covers it.

I think we should also add "Do not meddle in the affairs of moderators, for they are quick to anger and not all the subtle".

Hi,

SAP SCN doesn't allow this think "COPY and PASTE"

You can share your things, not copy-paste.

Its showing "Unauthorized" because moderator delete or block this discussion.

Hope everyone can understand SCN rule and regulation.

Thanks

To clarify - "Copy and Paste" is allowed under some "circumstances".

Please read the comments by a moderator, in this thread itself.
