Fair enough. If I were a paying advertiser I'd expect some guidelines like that.

As it is, I use this forum for free and find it really helpful - and some lovely ladies responding to my questions - most of the time.

Dear OhBaby Team,
Thank you - that is certainly enlightening

Ok thank you, =)

Lol, I sort of was when I had morning sickness, I found sucking on them while grocery shopping, nappy-changing etc masks those smells you become so sensitive to & made them slightly more bearable.
edited to make sense!

So if someone wants to sell their old nappies like they have done so via the nappy thread, this is a no-go now??

Wow so no sharing recipes from cookbooks?

Hi Hannahbil, this comes under the heading of "copyright infringement". Unfortunately anything that appears in print and is copyrighted is not permitted to be reproduced without the publisher's permission, or we (OHbaby,as well as the poster of the copyrighted material, can face legal action. This isn't a rule that's unique to OHbaby! -- it's the case for any message board, anywhere.

I am a member of many message boards/public websites and this is the first one to mention it in such a detailed manor or that is working so hard on deleting posts...as most of them just have a "we take no responsibility for other people's actions-clause" They tell you what they expect but would never go this far.
Maybe if the source has a complaint...but they would wait for that first...

and if people mention the author/source all should be fine anyway

the quoting of song lyrics is not included in the copyright laws and please tell me what artist would
1 not be stoked to have their lyrics quoted
2 would ever file a lawsuit against somebody that would quote their lyrics on a site like this?
if somebody would claim the lyrics as their own...yes then maybe...

Sorry...I think you just want to keep your site nice, correct and perfect but in my opinion you are taking it a bit too far (not as a person but as a site)

I personally feel your comments (as moderators) are often condescending and written in a matter as if you are trying to educate people on how they should act, feel, write, think and be... You are dealing with adults that don't need protecting against themselves or the big bad world.

Having written all of this, I'm afraid it will get deleted and I will get booted but I'll risk it....
