As you all know (or should know) the basic policy here is to give credit to your source of information and include a link back to that source.
When it comes to premium sites, we don't post their information while it is still their exclusive story. Wait until there is secondary confirmation of the same story either at a different premium site, social media or public news outlet. Also, avoid crediting "confirmation" without crediting who actually broke the story. I don't expect anyone to research the internet for time stamps to see who broke what first, but if you know then don't play games with it. We're a co-op fan site that's just here to promote the Buffs, compile the info that's out there, and hang out. For the premium sites, it's a competitive business. AllBuffs does not have a stake in who wins that competition. Our stake is for there to be the best information (and as much of it) as possible to be available to Buff fans.
Regarding the quoting of text from premium articles, try to keep it short. They're happy to get the link back and let us quote part of their articles as long as we keep the quote as a snippet and don't re-publish the entire thing (or substantially all of it).
To this point, Rivals and Scout had previously ok'd this limited quotation of their articles. That still stands. Following a conversation with AZ this morning, we also have the ok to quote BuffScoop articles and interviews in this way.
Finally, and most importantly, the more you contribute in this way the less work that I and the other mods have to do.
