Mentioning a moderator is a calling for moderation action. If you just wanted it reposted you could’ve just repost yourself. That would’ve been the actual “additive action”.
I’m aware of the practice. Copycats will copy. You could’ve reposted but you chose to call the cops.
- tailspin2019 5y agoYou’re right. I’m a terrible person.
- throwawayswede 5y agoYou're not. That's not what I said. There's nothing wrong with calling someone's behavior (emphasis on "behavior") a bit dickish! We all do it.
- samhw 5y agoIgnore this person. This is ludicrous. The OP plagiarised this site, posted this on Show HN as "I built [this site]", and wrote a blog post about how he "built" it, with no mention of the original which he cut-and-pasted almost verbatim. It's fair that HN give u/pieterhg the credit that was stolen from him here, at the very least. (I personally would remove this post altogether, given it violates copyright.) How someone can get up in arms about your extremely minimal request, rather than what the OP did, is ... well, I sometimes don't know how on earth people think the things they do. 'Calling the cops', my God.
