Smart Thief Mod

[kiosukia]

Hi,
I see another forum stole my forum content using my forum rss feed.But i think his system is really smart.Their forum can copy my member username,registration date,online status,post and threads.

So if my member login,you"ll see same username login in his forum .The worst thing is they can make that username registration date is older than mine . So everyone could think i"m copying their content to my forum.

How to prevent this thief copy my member data without disable my rss feed ?
Thank"s for any advice and sorry for bad english.

why would someone go through all that trouble, code a script to make an RSS feed post into the forum (in respective proper forums?) so that it doesnt look like rss syndicated posts, change the registration date of all your users? Sounds like overkill. Does your site rank high in SEO? I am curious and interested in seeing the site(s) in question.

Not really much you can do except file a DMCA takedown, but you would need to prove original ownership of the content.

The only way to prevent someone taking your data is to make sure it's not displayed.

Someone could have created users with the same names and profiles, but they will not have the valid email address of each user and ip address of each post.

I think google already know about this.His pagerank is 0. mine is 3.His alexa rank 4x better than mine.
But this is unacceptable.

There are a couple of threads here on how to limit the amount of data given in the rss feeds. You may want to search that out.

Thanks for pointing me the right direction.
Also vbseo seo functions can give a little help by adding forum titles to external link.
But they can fix it easily by using replacement variables
