Hang on. As has been stated, it is OK to post puzzles here that are not original, so long as they are not duplicates and you credit the author. I'd also add "...and you cite a source where it was published". So what other rules are there that @Randal'Thor broke? It would seem silly to me if it'd be wrong to post a published puzzle if you do cite the source, but OK if you don't.

And it would seem silly to me if it'd be wrong to post a published puzzle you made but OK if someone else made it.

that was something about promotional content(according to Mithrandir), but the mods could answer it better..

@RosieF I think that he was advertising his site in places where he wasn't supposed to. He had 'Since this is the only place I'm allowed to, apparently' or something like that in his profile.

But you should ask him :)

(Even though some people say I am him, that's not the case.)

Thanks for your answers @Sid @Mithrandir. So if a user gets a puzzle printed in some source (s)he doesn't (co)own, then that's OK? That seems OK to me.

@RosieF I would assume so.

@RosieF Exactly! It seems very silly to me too. Especially since I didn't actually make the riddle - it was written by one of the others involved with that other site. The riddle was posted from a joint account shared between us, but I was the one who actually pressed the button to post it (and the only one who got punished).

@Mithrandir The only "advertising" I did was posting that one riddle (and a comment on the accepted answer) with a link back attributing it to the other site where it was first published.

@RosieF You don't have to worry too much. If you are doing something that violates policy, you will be informed. We don't just suspend people out of the blue.

@Randal'Thor You're oversimplifying the situation. To my understanding (I wasn't a mod when the suspension happened) there were several different factors that contributed to the suspension. That might just have been the one that "broke the camel's back".

@GentlePurpleRain Yes, this. Thank you.
