Guys? If you’re using my photos, I’m okay with that — if it’s in moderation, and if you’re not hotlinking them. (ie. you MUST download them on your own and then re-upload them.) As for the text, I really appreciate if you’ve liked a post and wanted to repost it. But use a LINK. Please for the love of god use a link, and stop coping the whole post.
I know that some of you have used an image or an excerpt here and there, and that’s okay with me — heck, I’ve done it too! But please, you need to be uploading images on your own, using you OWN text, and crediting properly. It’s not like I snap my fingers and content appears on theNotice. I love it, but some days I work my ass off for this blog. So when you’re stealing my content, you’re not just nabbing an image and “forgetting” to credit, you’re basically nabbing an hour of my life and flaunting it in front of me.
If I find one more major incidence of leeching, I’m not blogging anymore, so clean up your acts. There is absolutely NO point in putting this much time, effort, and love into a project like theNotice if bloggers don’t even respect each other to not steal from each other. That is not a community I want to be a part of.
