Baden, I know you know that I am not a bot and I am the one that posts the Facebook posts as of right now and I am sure if that needs to change, I will be informed by you or jamalrob, administrators of TPF or Facebook.
If I had been asked, I would have gratefully explained that there is a reason, that I use the phrase that I do.
When I post a picture on a platform such as Facebook and it is a Watermarked picture or a trademarked image, I obtain written permission to use the image from the artist. I had obtained permission of use from four photographers at PF and I notified them when PF was sold and that I would honor our agreement and let the new owners know that they are not authorized to keep the photos posted but they choose not to delete the pictures. I have obtained the same permission for use at TPF Facebook page which is why their image, when posted, is linked back to their Facebook page. It is a win win and an awesome networking exchange.
I have tried to do the same with notifying any TPF member that a quote of theirs has been posted on a social networking platform. I have done this, which is a change from what I originally started with at PF, which was to quote with no notification. I was approached by Paul, as a PF member was using his real name for his user name and had no idea that his words had even been posted on Facebook until he logged on. I directly apologized to him, I told him I would implement the change and did so.
I remediated the situation with that member in particular, by offering either the total removal of the quote or the removal of his user name and the link back to the thread in PF. I respected his choice and made the changes necessary to not have anyone feel imposed upon with giving them credit due.
It is a fine line to walk and I do the best that I can with what I know. Until I am told of another way, I will continue to do as I have for the last two years.
