Title: Dumb question about board privacy
Post by: Walkie on September 12, 2016, 11:48:41 AM
OK, I've been around for aaaaages on -and-off, but suddenly, when I really need to know , I can neither recall nor figure out which bits of this board are hidden from non-members?     It's the submissions sub-forum  that interests me in particular right now, but it's worth asking as a general question for future reference.

To be a bit more specific: suppose I post exerpts from an unpublished (and even unfinished) book there, I don't think that counts as "publication" not if it's "members only". I might be wrong about that though.   Clarification on either point, from anybody in the know, would be welcome

Thanks,

-Walkie

cheers! That's more like it.  Now,  I wonder if Admin might consider  making some notes to that effect on the index?

Some of the boards already say, members hidden; not sure why they aren't all noted.

The only hidden board that isn't marked as members, is AS Advocacy. The whole section, Continue Here: members of the community, is for members of the community, so that's clear enough. The Management section is also members only. Everything else is clear enough, so maybe only AS Advocacy needs to be marked as members only.

Bugger that. He reads everything else, doesn't he? Even the mind-numbingly tedious arguments! Is he gonna pretend to not notice it here. just to keep things tidy?

You might not believe this, Jack, but I find the term "members hidden" ambiguous.   Especially round here  :LOL:

Not that old chestnut, again  Scrappy.
I already have access. Have had access for years  but I'm honourably resisting  spying on you guys, cos some asshole (and can't recall which one, I really can't)  started a drama about my premature admission.
Hopefully that drama died down. Ooh well it must have , cos nobody notices I have da title anymore, let alone recalling the drama.

Anyways, another 2 posts, and I officially stop sulking  about it. :)

In my opinion, what counts as published is what the lawyers can get away with attacking. It's so heavily dependent on whether the publisher or owner of the copyright for the media is litigious. If it's a traditional publisher... will they care enough to look? What will they use to search, your name, portions of the text? Is the place where you posted it googleable? That matters so much more than the "official" definition of is it available on the internet. As far as I could tell from researching it once, if it was on a blog even if set to private, it counted as published by the letter of the definition. But they shouldn't find that.

Ooooo . The Gods of this board have granted me an intelligent , informative reply   :worship:   Thanks, Pyraxis  :)
It's my own shit ofc so I wouldn't seriously anticipate any issues, but I'm an Aspie, right? I like to know where I stand.

Now, will you all stop tempting me to make that final post and hit 500?
I've got rather attached to my anomaly by now

It's about copyright, not defamation. As in some publishers having a clause about right of first publication, ie they will not publish a work that has been published prior.
