Disable [QUOTE] tag!

[nitins60]

It's very common, any1 can steal posts using QUOTE option! I want a mod which can give new tag like [SKIP]! When you post information between these tags, on quoting, the message between these tags should be skipped(not displayed)!

Hope this tag help to prevent copying some useful information! For other simple posts, no problem!

ahmm i like that idea...
and what kind of info could be stolen... ??

If I understand you correctly, I don't think it would work; people can always copy+paste and make a new quote box if they wanted to.

[Alexmosutheskypirate]

i think he means that the quote must not reveal the internal structure of the post...

Suppose

[b]
i am here for you! You are here for me! We are here for no one! What a funny joke
[/b]
when you quote it,
[quote][b]i am here for you! You are here for me! We are here for no one! What a funny joke[/b][/quote]
will appear in post!

Now what i want is!
[b]
i am here for you![skip] You are here for me![/skip] We are here for no one! What a funny joke[/b]

on quoting it should display in this way

[quote]
i am here for you! We are here for no one! What a funny joke[/quote]
while posting!



now there is no chance of copying!

[Sarke]

I'm not sure why you'd want that.  Like I said, it's very easy to circumvent so it wouldn't prevent "stealing posts".

[nitins60]

Still, let's stop stealing @newbies!

[Dannii]

I don't see how quoting someone could be called stealing?

[Alexmosutheskypirate]

yeah but let's imagine you have a custom html design very comlicated and hard to do..and you spend 3 days creating it..so you post a list of thing with that template an so...
anyone can quote you an steal the design..the html code of your template...so..by adding that [skip] you could stop them from stealing it and make them do it for themselves...
know what i mean ?

No.. they can already look at the source to see your beautiful html.

[1MileCrash]

Yeah...I'm uh, completely not follwing this at all.

No.. they can already look at the source to see your beautiful html.

This post is now copyrighted by me. I quoted after all.

[nitins60]

Hope TipMASTER has understood it! So hopefully i am expecting this mod from SMF team!

Eldka, some times i spend lot of time n searching, getting good articles and make them as one perfect article about it, post in Forum! Simply other fellow comes, quote my post, run away with my hardwork to another forum/place! Actually ppl should be able to quote some places n my posts, some places not! Which is possible throug this tag!

[Dannii]

They already can quote it. Removing the quote button won't help at all, especially if you're worried about them taking it to another forum!
And if you're worried about that sort of stuff, then don't post publically.

[1MileCrash]

People can still view source, or copy and paste to get everything they want.

[nitins60]

Oh! My god, please read my post(4th reply)! Don't misunderstood by seeing topic title! Hope you get my point! Atleast it stops 30% thieves!

[Sarke]

If they can see and read it they can copy it.

[Dannii]

Maybe you should consider releasing what you post under a creative commons licence, so that others will be able to spread what you write around, while you still receive 100% of the credit.

[nitins60]

Brothr! Discussing and Writing them is ok! Don't suggest me for copyright please! It's a bit hard, which i can't do! Why can't you make it as a mod! It helps alot! We can't see who's stealing, where they are posting(even we get copyrights)

I like the idea for this mod and would use it (if works) but just for a different reason.

It's possible to make with this

<add after>

Hmm i think this should work... but it's possible that it remove the content if you click on inline edit... (as long you not press save, it would not be removed xD).

I hope it's a small help.
