I was curious on one thing about this rule.


Protesting Bannings/Glorifying or Discussing Banned Posters: We value our posters, and take care only to ban posters who commit egregious or repeated violations of our Rules. Once that action is taken, though, it is an Inappropriate topic to discuss, glorify, or memorialize banned posters or their rules violations. We have found in the past that such displays are disruptive to the community. If you have a concern regarding a banned poster, we ask that you send a PM to Roland St. Jude, the Forum Guru.

I've done a homebrew in the homebrew forum that took inspiration from another poster's homebrew. However, this poster has been banned and I was wondering if giving him credit would violate this rule.

It's just that I think he deserves credit, but I don't want to break any rules by giving it to him.

Sheriff: Simple credit is fine, if done discreetly. Though if you took any more than inspiration from the person's work, you should also get their permission to use their work.
