Apparently it is against Portkey Rules.
| QUOTE (PORTKEY.ORG Forum and Chat Rules) |
10. Quoting/Discussing/Reproducing the opinions of Portkey users The opinions expressed by users of Portkey either in our chatroom or on these forums may not be reproduced, quoted or discussed on any external websites. External websites are deemed as sites that are not part of the Portkey network. The same applies in reverse. Quoting/Reproducing/Discussing opinions posted on another website is forbidden, and users breaking this rule may have their posting put on moderated status or have their access suspended.

Though a rule like that can easily be bypassed. It is going to be a slight pain to do so, but if PK wants everything to be proper, then we have to do it. Basically, the rule states that we can't quote PKers off of the PK network (includes forums, chats, etc.) However, the Top 10 Lists and the 101 Reasons Thread were created for the H/Hr fansite that we're working on. So what do we do? The idea is quite simple...we simply don't quote the lists and the 101 reasons from PK but from another entity. In otherwords, we ask those who have contributed to the Top 10 Lists and 101 Reasons to send us an email with the thoughts/opinions that they stated in the PK Threads. Hehe...did I lose anybody with my train of thought?
So...just say that that I contributed a Top 10 List for the H/Hr fansite and Nielle quoted that list off of one of the PK threads (with my permisson). According to the PK rules, that is illegal. So exactly how will Nielle get to use the list that I created? The only ways of really doing so, is for me to send her the list via email or copy-and-paste it into a chat that she and I may have a later time. And since Nielle and I use Yahoo Messenger to chat, that doesn't fall under PK territory. So if you really think about it, we're going to be relaying the same information to each other, but instead of using PK, we'll use email and outside chatting programs. And as long as we state that we are quoting PKers off of the PK network, it's no longer illegal.
It's the only way to make things legal, unless PK is willing to make an exception. Afterall the Top 10 Lists and the 101 Reasons Thread were created to benefit the H/Hr fansite. And in terms of giving credit out to those who contributed, instead of using their PK screen-names, we can just use their email-address. Hehe...I'm hoping I didn't sound too confusing. If you would like me to reiterate, please send me a PM and I'll do my best to explain it better.

Hmmmm... this looks like something for the Admin thread!

I understand what you're saying, Jeremiah, but this rule does not seem to include the PM system. Perhaps if people PM me the reason/s or something like that.
I am not keen on using email addresses instead of PK usernames because 1) Those aren't provided on PK for good reason & 2) even if we did have users email addresses, publishing them leaves them open to spamming.
I would like some Mod clarification on this. Perhaps if it was made clear beforehand that portions of a user's post were going to reproduced somewhere else or permission had been obtained from the user after the post had been made, would that be satisfactory?

MOD NOTE: At this point of time, leave it here and continue discussing it here till I get Nappa's or Heaven's feedback on it. For example, if you stated in the list that this was created on Portkey, and provided a link to PORTKEY, it would mean more visitors here too!
Remember that while some things may go against our rules, exceptions to the rules may be made - particularly if the cause is 'good'. Let me discuss it with Nappa and Heaven and I shall get back to you on it.
Regarding email addresses; I'd wait if I were you - why? Some of the people involved in creating the list may NOT be AT ALL keen on giving their email addresses out. For reasons such as spamming or worse - remember the 'hate mail' that Kalie got from shippers of other ships? I doubt some members would want that, and I don't blame them for this. No, whatever is done, it is advisible to keep use nicknames.

Exactly. I would much prefer to stick to usernames.
Its kind a given that Portkey will be linked to in this site anyway, but if everything is OK, a link will certainly be added to this particular page too.

I'm going to edit this post to include an updated list shortly. EDIT: and here it is.

No, actually, Nielle, you're right. We don't want to bash ships either (even subtly bash). This is just a list of reasons why H/Hr are the perfect/ideal couple. That's all I'm saying. It's all a difference of opinion on the ships, it's not a judgement of what ship's right or what ship's wrong.
146) Harry recognizes Hermione's habits and knows what she believes in, and he accepts that as a part of her. And vice versa for Hermione. Sorry if this has already been said before.

That would be great, one of the best reasons is those that actually have definite canon support. Although if you are going to do that, add in your commentary and say how this quote relates to a reason why they are the perfect couple.
Anazecria
Oct 27 2003, 02:46 PM
Some of the current reasons definitely have canon support. For example No. 147 that Beck (Harry/Hermione 4eva) just added. If it is ok with people, I can hunt down the references that backup their reason. If people can keep adding reasons with canon support, that would be brilliant too.

Unfortunately I can't decide on that. The list is being processed to go to the HOAF site through all these complications that we (the staff) have to go because it is against the rules to quote something from PK. You have to run through your suggestion to NAPPA, sweety.

154.) Because Hermione's the first girl who considered Harry as friend. (I know it's stupid

154.) Because Harry didn't seem to annoy with Hermione's bossiness. (Stupid??)
155.) Because they both have hair problem, Harry's messy hair and Hermione's bushy hair. (It's getting stupid.)

Sadly I cannot take credit for these lovely avatars I display. I simply gather them from sites all over the place. And I upload the ones I like, which are mostly about *cough* Dan *cough*. Also as to the question of where do I find the time, well I have no life, so there you go! *lol*
Anyway I was rather baffled on how the title changed,but then I was reminded of your Super- Mod powers, Pen.

As for your question Nitya, I meant that to everyone. And I am sure there are more reasons out there. I can't seem to come up with new ones, I am sort of brain dead at the moment.

Ah, a few things... first
Welcome to PK Kinki PotterGranger! Don't worry about your English, there are plenty of people here where English is not their first language. I'm Anazecria, but you can call me Nielle if you like. I see someone has already warned you about me.

I'm lovely really!
But there is one thing I just wanted to ask:
| QUOTE (Kinki PotterGranger) |
| Because both Harry and Hermione are wierd people in Hogwarts. (Doesn't sound right, does it?) |
I'm not exactly sure what you meant here. But since I'm the one who is collecting all the reasons listed here, I want to be sure I understand you.
Second:
| QUOTE (Beck) |
But Jess (Dreamerblue), and Nielle (Anazecria) are slightly nutty! Watch out for them! I loff ya really guys! |
Beck, only
slightly? You're too kind! I know you love me, I'm just.... what's the word? ... Indescribable!
Thirdly, We're grateful for all the reasons you can throw at us. *ducks* None of them are stupid. *looks pointedly at Nitya*
All we ask is that you check that your reason is different from the ones listed here already and please, no Character/Ship bashing. I won't include those in the final list. There is no set number for how many reasons the wonderful people of Portkey can come up with. Fourthly: *bows to Pen* Thankyou for the Mod-Note Pen. It's funny, I was just about to call on your Modly Powers and ask you to do that!
Fifthly:
harrynmione4ever, it ain't my decision whether you can use these reasons, you would need permission from everybody in this thread, and possibly Portkey. However, if you can't, I'm sure the website it is destined for (HOAF) would be happy for you to link to it and we could link to you.

Sixthly: Jess, I'm not sure "Because I said so!" is a valid reason.

Nielle

You're welcome. But I thought I'd expound on that note, and move it in this separate post, so it would be seen by people who don't bother to read the first post. I'll cross-link the first post with this one.

Nielle, I was talking about my signs (to tell you're insane for H/Hr when you do certain things), not the reasons

But thanks for the note

I think some of my reasons are stupid, though.

160) Because when Harry gets angry, Hermione looks on the verge of tears (ootp 64), whereas she fights back with everyone else.
161) Because Hermione is ready to sacrifice her holydays and lie to her parents to be with Harry if she thinks he needs her.

Sorry this is off topic but are any of you guys registered in thesnitch.co.uk/forums cause they are having a poll on who Harry should date next and hermione is losing. By the you guys have posted some great reasond why HR/H should be together keep them coming.
Kalie
Nov 9 2003, 03:17 PM
Oh, so we are using these on HOAF *bemused* Ok then.
5 MINUTES LATER: Ok guys, I have a few bones to pick about these reasons. I won't put anything of HOAF that offends or bashes another ship( i.e. "Because H/G and H/L is just wrong" ). Not to mention, a lot of the reasons are very repetitive. What do we do about those?
Facade
Nov 9 2003, 03:26 PM
In response to Kalie's question:
We are cutting off those kind of reasons(the ones that bash on another ship) and if some are similar to another Nielle is combining them as one reason.
Does that make sense?
Kalie
Nov 9 2003, 03:29 PM
Oh ok

That makes sense to me. So, Neille is putting them all together. When are we stopping?

Here is the list. But it isn't recent. It's from page three of this thread.
And Pen in answer to your question. Nielle has gotten permission from the majority. I don't remember if she got all of them. *shrugs* I'll ask her when she goes online.

That's good.

I actually meant that perhaps you should first code those reasons that you've got permission for. But if it's easy for you people to erase any reason --should its contributor refuse to have it on HOAF, then go ahead and code what you've got, huh? Or exclude those without permission, then add them later, when you get the respective contributors' consent.
Personally, I don't think anyone would refuse having their thoughts put on HOAF.
