The Well is explicit in not repeating posts outside of the Well without the user's consent. I think it's not really an enforceable thing, (Whedonesque) but that it's about publishing other's words.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have to log into the Well to read their posts?

Do we have any language on this site that says that anything posted is the property of the person who posted it and if you quote me you damn well better cite me?
I don't know how much exiting copyright law applies to Internet sites, but in terms of academic do's and don'ts, we teach our students that if they quote anything they sure as hell better cite it. If they can't cite a full name of the author (such as on a site like this one), they must cite the poster's nickname and the full website address as well as date of post and date of download. They wouldn't need to seek permission, however--they just need to give credit.
I get the feeling from this and from your post in Natter that this has become an issue?
ETA: Never mind. None of my business.

They have leverage. We don't. It'd just be empty words -- I think those that'd cite will cite without having to be told.

For natter, I really like the Removal of the President one....just because "Shave and a Haircut" would give me unending earworm. Quarter Life crisis is kinda cool too.

I'm a big no to Shave and a Haircut.
I can't think of any good 25 or quarter based quotes, but I personally would crack up everytime I saw

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Generally speaking, what I learned in copyright class was that you own your words unless you specifically don't, and not the other way round. Unless you gave up the right to those words someplace in the fine print, they're your words, and you've got the right to enforce copyright on them.
(You all remember that foofarah over Yahoo's TOS in 1999? It was because a change in their legal language, designed to deal with every time they transfer data from one server to another when distributing server load, was vague enough to imply that everything Yahoo handled, email coming or going, web sites on Geocities -- the copyright of that item was, by dint of passing through Yahoo servers, transferred from the copyright owner to Yahoo, in perpetuity. Needless to say, people raised a ruckus, and Yahoo fine-tuned its legal language.)
Whether it's worth the hassle of hiring a lawyer and hauling someone into court over, I don't know; but yeah, you've got the right, unless you gave it up already.
