What is the basis for blocking other people's posts?

Question

Computer networks

The rules do not prohibit the publication of other people's posts. Moreover, you can publish translations of unknown foreign dudes and this is a complete okay. So why?

Answer 1

The question is not about the person, but about the fact that the community suffers from this rule. In the end, thanks to this rule, it may not receive interesting information. Usually, when the author undertakes to republish someone else's material, he will evaluate this material from 10 sides, and it will be of high quality and interesting.
When I just came to Habra, some strange people didn’t like me here either, and got a minus. And thanks to a couple of people - I wrote an article and sent it to them to read, and they gave me + in karma for publication.
A newcomer to Habré, it turns out, takes his first steps through a minefield. And the first step may be the last. And now look at the nonsense that constantly pops up on the main page: constant yellow reprints from all sorts of “undercomputerrr”. In principle, there is one interesting article on the main page in a few days.
Everything else is sometimes a bunch of gossip and garbage. As I remember now, a completely carbon monoxide topic on the main one: how to write official documents
. But against the background of the rest of the copying that day, the material was even readable in principle ...

Answer 2

I think it means the publication of posts written by a person who does not have enough karma to publish a post himself.

Answer 3

So said the Inner Voice!
But seriously, it's true. This is not in the rules, but in the “reminder” from the multi-checkboxes before the first post it definitely was. Too bad we can't watch this reminder again. And in general, the rules say that karma is primary:

in the morning karma - in the evening a topic (and you can’t change it).

Answer 4

It won't take long to write the rules...

Answer 5

but still? I haven't done it myself but I'm curious...

Answer 6

I wonder how many people pumped karma through answers in Q&A?

In the first two days of the Q&A existence, I pumped it up by 12 points. Easy.

Answer 7

Everything is fine. Everyone is calm and read the Habrazachistka topic :

Habr is growing at a good pace, but not all beginners correctly perceive the ideas and rules of the community. How many times have they told the world that copy-paste is not here. But some of the newly minted habrazhites, having picked up a bit of karma, began to supply us with other people's texts from news resources day after day. The cup of patience was filled with a user who published news even without a link to the source, which this very source promptly drew our attention to.

Answer 8

offtopic
“blocking” is such a nasty and vile-sounding word.
You can also "On what basis are those publishing other people's posts blocked."

Answer 9

It is necessary to wait for the official topic-answer of TM, of course.
