On Nov. 29, @davidlevy introduced himself to the community with the following message:
In that same topic you can find a discussion where @davidlevy accused @tomsit of stealing his idea. By that time, @tomsit was listed as "Staff member" which at this time now reads "Community Staff". For the record, the quoted text above is all the contents of the idea of the alleged website plagiarism.
Regardless if you either support @davidlevy or @tomsit, what I want to encourage here is distraction free opinions.
- Was @tomsit unethical? Why?
- Should members (users, staff and community staff) of this community fit a ethical code that avoids this kind of situations?
- What kind of measures should be taken?
Hope to get mature opinions, the idea is to came up with code of conduct (if needed) for everybody.
P.S. Keep in mind that Community Staff members here don't get paid, aren't considered employees and they help only on good will. They aren't part of development and they don't have access to client data.
Hi,
I'm new to Chevereto but after researching all options I felt Chevereto was the best solution for my community image sharing website.
I'm a Star Citizen fan, and friends with a lot of other big fans.. some of us take great screenshots and I do cosplay and manage a cosplay discord channel.
SO... we thought.. why not do our own website. Cuz flicker now sucks. And imgur has too low of an uploading size limit.
We're working on the site now and things are going great.
Will share when we're ready to make it public.
