SustainLane - Shame! Online community is post-editing your content after you give away your data! From PlanetShifter.com Magazine

Is your online community editing your blog posts to suit their profit motive after you submit them? This is common practice at SustainLane!

Yesterday I discovered that one of my several re-post blog communities, SustainLane, has been ripping-out content from my titles, namely "PlanetShifter.com" so as not to give me complete credit for my work. SustainLane is clearly getting their share of goodies from my 83 posts since March 2010 and has never sent me notice of this manipulation or Terms of Use Agreement.**

Shame on SustainLane. This is the only site that rips-off providers of free content that I know of. They even REQUIRE that the member include the complete blog content from the original post (not just an excerpt and original URL) or it will be deleted.

My emails and phone calls were not returned. Call Linda at (415) 392-5263 Ext. 10 to complain.
