Copyright Issues

huenemeca mailed me yesterday with some concerns around copyrights. Unfortunately it seemed like a lot of the submissions from our members were copy pasted from Wikipedia or other online sources.

Although it would be easy to quickly build a dictionary like that, it is not something we want to do.
- 1. It is illegal
- 2. It is not fair to other authors who spent their time writing the original material
- 3. It is bad for our rankings as Google and others will see this as duplicate content

So over the last 24h ours I have implemented a review system to check every submission and ensure it is not breaking any copyrights. You will also have seen this has had a very substantial effect on the member rankings.

Currently we only have 58 keywords left in our cleaned up dictionary, so let's get writing to fill up the dictionary again, but this time with our own words.
