- Because it bears my name and yet I cannot edit or maintain it
- Because the formatting is incorrect and looks terrible
- Because if the information is incorrect or obsolete I look bad
- Because someone else gets credit/karma/whatever for my work
- Because in the US, when you write something, you own it and get to choose how/if it is distributed except for a few fair use cases of which this is not one
1. Couldn't you ask a moderator for permission to do so or ask that you can create a new thread and then this one is deleted after it was copied over?
2. Matter of opinion, but it doesn't look too terribly different than what I remember the WoTC forum one looking like
3. People tend to correct or suggest changes when rules change / new products are available to use, and no one is going to think you look bad for something that was migrated over from the WotC forums
4. It clearly says that the credit for making the guide originally came from you. The original poster of this particular thread isn't claiming credit for your work.
5. D&D is a world-wide game, not just the U.S. As for use, there is the consideration of fair use which is generally accepted when the idea is credited to the original author, is of a non-profit nature, and/or considered to be of a social benefit to the public.
I intentionally didn't migrate my post here. It wasn't a mistake or an oversight. I didn't want it here. That choice was taken from me.
Once the public was told that the WotC forums were being taken down, there was a period of weeks where people declared that useful information was going to be moved to enworld. I don't recall any protest from you saying that you did not want your work being moved over. I'm sorry, but I just fail to see how someone saving work that you did as valuable and useful to the D&D community as an insult.
Insults aren't required. I didn't report the post, I'm not saying bad things about the OP. It's just surprise and frustration. Empathy is needed.
Suggesting thicker skin seemed an appropriate comment, considering you suggest you are frustrated at your work being reposted.
Be happy that someone considered your work good enough to warrant keeping and be flattered that people didn't want it lost. If you don't like it here, just ask for it to be deleted. I'll be happy write up a new guide for the public to use at their leisure.
