Im wary of deleting threads that are just potentialy breaching copyright as there is clearly a demand amongst the PP community for this stuff, and I dont want to deprive people of it on a presumption of guilt. Ultimately an official policy is needed, but thats down to PP Admin (who, as youve noticed, isnt particularly active on the forums lately)
I dont know whos moderating the Wiki site. -We dont have particular areas we look after, we just jump in whenever we see an issue. I personally dont use the wiki site, so I wont be doing much moderation there.
To be a moderator, I think you just hjave to patiently wait for James to get back to you. He was fairly quick to respond to me, but perhaps its not as high a priority for him now the forums are being moderated again.
This is going to be a constant problem - particularly with the new PP Wiki site - who is moderating that.
I think a good starting point is to jump on PP members asking for potential copyright material and then deleting their threads.
I had a run in with Charleston last year on this topic.
I am currently distributing a traing aid file to PP members which I classify as my own copyright. When I was away recently one impatient member asked another to forward his copy - I was pleased to note that his request was rejected.
Best regards
