Yes, I did see that but I feel as though you don't even endeavour to do that.

Without being accused of being rude and disrespectful - How would you honestly know?

You don't, you're making an assumption.

But I will add when the same posters constantly refuse to post the links then the time they get to fix it themselves (as well as the time we take looking) is far less than what others get (quite rightly I would argue). We shouldn't have to make the same request to the same people every week or in some cases every day...

Might be easier to remove the sentence "If we are unable to do that OER will endeavour to find the source and edit the post." from the rule.

One of two things need to happen.

1-Admin relax and stop worrying about being sued.(it ain't gonna happen)

2- Posters abide by admins requests on the grounds that they do a great job overall (even though they are a little intimidated by silly laws that nobody would enforce.  ;D)

I definitely should have posted sometimes, but yes it is just an assumption but it was based on a couple of specific circumstances.
