but then no magazine or news site can post or re post an article.. unless they write it with their own words, but then they still had to credit ti source (which i did). I'm not judging the rule as now I know what made them make the rule, but people complaining about something like that is very strange, as that is what makes their business.. I'm not gonna discuss it as it is probably no use, but i will say what i think about it.

2 points is a bit much, imo. if atrl had to make this rule, then so be it i guess. but 2 points is seriously too much for morally or ethically really not doing anything wrong or with a wrong intent. on the contrary.
there's people making death threats and making racist slurs and being sexist and they go unwarned or get one point..
