Why not ? I always site the source when I quote something from a website. That is the proper thing to do. Credits should go to the creator of that work. http://www.ananmanan.com/ is not my personal site or I have no connection to it what so ever. What is the difference between quoting any other site on the net and this one ? Just because it happens to be a Sri Lankan site you say its SPAM ? And I wasn’t just posting some random stuff to propmote some site, I gave the original poster what he asked for, along with due credits to the original source. THAT IS NOT SPAM !

Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately

This was a reply to a request, not an unsolicited reply. First understand the meaning of the word SPAM

Now don't tell me quoting wikipedia is also spam. LOL :lol:

Further clarifying the matter.. These are the forum guidelines posted by GTRZ

This is just few of them, full list with more details coming soon!

1. Do NOT post Adult materials which are not suitable for all audiences.
2. Do NOT post illegal/copyright materials.
3. Do NOT post stuff downloaded from other Srilankan sites.
4. Do NOT SPAM/Advertise your websites in the forums, signature or in your avatar etc.. by any method. You can put your personal homepage if you like. At the same time Do NOT spam our site on other forums too. We should respect others work right? You can talk about our site or link to our site on other forums or sites, but do not do it in a spam manner which will harm other sites.
5. Do NOT hijack threads, insult other members, respect everybody!

Note the lines highlighted in red.
I did not post something *downloaded* from another SL website, I posted a link to the site and to the original image hosted at that site.

I cited the source to respect the original author's work as GTRZ recomend us to do..

I don't see how my reply can be considered SPAM. I am totally against spamming, And I take it seriously when someone accuses me of doing it. That is why I went to all this trouble to show you ppl that my replay in no way breaks any forum rules or can be considered as SPAM.

Now this violates forum rule number 3. You downloaded it from a Sri Lankan site, edited out the watermark and posted it.

It also unethical because you are posting some one else's work without giving credit :lol:

I normally wouldn't have said anything. but since every one is so by the book these days.. :P:rofl::lol:

lol you seems to be unfamiliar with ek tradition
as far as I know Posting stuff with the watermaks linked(or displaying) to another SL SITES is prohibited in EK because it directly or indirectly promotes that site via EK ......I also did this once and all I heard is SPAM SPAM SPAM :P But Unlike you I admit what i've done and stay away from it :P... Since I am not the administrator you shud ask this from GTRZ for the further clarifications
not intended to degrade your " help" anyways:nerd: keep up the good work !

I quoted the forum guidelines in the second post. And as you can see, nothing is mentioned about posting watermarked content or URLs of local sites.

If it is really not allowed then I don’t think anyone can post lyrics of that song; unless that person listens to the song and type it by himself. Because if there is another image or a page with lyrics of that song(posted anywhere but EK) then no one can post it here. Because that will violate GTRZ's 3rd rule which says you can't download content from SL sites and post here. It also applies to removing the watermark and reposting.

Editing out a watermark or posting something without citing the original source is plagiarism. That is worse than spamming.

My intention was not to promote that site; I was just trying to help. It is really unfortunate to see that most ppl don't know the meaning of the word spam or the concept of giving credit to an author of a creation.:dull:
