MyBB Community Forums

Hello friends,
help me handle this situation, I am seeing lots of users are copy pasting my contents to their blogs/forums. Apart from telling them politely and warning, how to ethically discourage and prevent them from copying content from our website?

"telling them politely" is the only thing one can do - unfortunately no other method could be more effective
piracy is everywhere - I'd suggest to not take it seriously; do not warn & ban - just ignore ..

You can add copyright to copied content, but if noticed, it can be removed easily: http://community.mybb.com/thread-145851.html

Or you can try more advanced methods like disabling CTRL+C/right mouse menu but they're also not hard to avoid and will annoy your legitimate users who don't violate copyright: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/99584...te-browser

So, as .m. says, it's a common issue almost impossible to combat. You can just make it a bit harder.

Ban them.

I wrote a tutorial and some measure for this, you can read it
