@hennr:<div><br></div><div>Any community maintained project should respectfully decline incorrect or misplaced contributions.<div><br></div><div>I haven't seen the original content (and never will), but from an unbiased 3rd party looking in, I too would like the respect of a moderator emailing my deleted content back to me. I have unknowingly violated site rules in the past. Nothing drives contributors away faster than destroying all traces of what they created (even if what they created is garbage).</div>
<div><br></div><div>For this, I do the same as you, OP. I put it on a blog. There's probably a lot of garbage on my blog. Sometimes I don't know if it's garbage and I put it in both places in fear of deletion. Interlinking from site-to-blog has certainly caused turmoil. I've learned from this so I only link from blog to forum, not the other way around.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sometimes the forum I choose won't have support for uploading images and I have to cross-link to an image service. If it's too popular, the image service shuts off cross-linking. Can't win some times...</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't think I really have a moral to all this excecpt I hope you continue to contribute to these types of community projects despite your struggles. Even if you are the only one using your own tutorials, keep writing them down! Eventually, some of them will <a href="http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2008-January/028728.html">make it to the right eyes</a>. : )</div>
