So I suggest we do not share technical information with much conviction, since we could be wrong. We are dealing with the technicalities with the Legal Staff of Wikia. No need for any of that here. It is absolutely necessary when people are telling others things that are flat out incorrect. If you want to be smart about it you will stop trying to explain copyright to people in this thread and instead direct them to FANDOM Staff.

This is a two edged sword.

Point me to what advice of action I gave that is wrong.

The guy I was responding to had a very clear case: He had written stories that he posted both here and on Reddit. The user does have the right to have the stories published both here and on Reddit. As I said in the comments, I am not a lawyer and I am not that knowledgeable in this area. But in this case, the user in question can have the stories posted on both sites. This is what I told him.

If you want to provide feedback to specific users, feel free to do so (to a reasonable degree for clear-cut cases). But posting your take on Licensing in general is not OK, neither is getting into technicalities or advising users that are in a complex situation.
