[Debate] 'No Right Click' Codes

Is it really worth it, keeping people from being able to copy and paste text, which is a common action when posting on forums?

Ah, okay. That would be fine then. The whole reason for the debate against anti-right click codes is because it limits what people can do while posting, like copy and paste, which is done often on forums. On a non-posting board, I don't really see any negatives.

I personaly do not like them. Most of the time they don't even do their job, to protect from viewing the sorce, you can just click View-Source, which defeats the object of them anyways. Disabling Javascript will get around them, and most of them do not work in firefox. They wouldn't even stop a novice user, because they know how to work print screen.

True they can. I guess it really comes down to patrolling all the sites like yours to make sure they don't take any pictures you made. For me the only ones I really care about anyone copying are the ones in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. I made those myself and would be mad if someone took them without my permission. Most of what I used on my site I got from the movies or free animations, so anyone could do the same thing. As for the debate and it protecting your graphics from being stolen it is useless and if that was a persons only reason to use it then they shouldn't bother.

Yeahh...Sorry if someone else said it, but I have to say it: The no right-click code is annoying and obsolete. Any idiot with a basic knowledge of computers could highlight and use the CTRL code. I use right-click probably...a dozen times a day, for putting codes in, rearranging boards (because i'm too lazy to just delete and re-type. xD), putting images in my signature...obviously, I don't steal this stuff. It's kind of like when someone shoplifts, the store raises it prices, 'punishing' innocent patrons. That's what this code does. Just because a few people don't have the brains to make their own graphics/board descriptions/etc., it 'punishes' innocent members who use right-click for perfectly OK reasons.

EDIT: I've had things stolen from me before. Both graphics and board descriptions. So it's not like I don't know what it feels like. I'm just saying that the person that did it could have done many other things to steal, so I'm not about to clutter up my headers/footers with a useless code.

I must admit I just took all my right click codes off, mainly because I am now using another browser & it conflicts with people being able to use things like Quick Reply & correcting spelling mistakes (it blocked the cursor from doing so)
I'm more interested in having my forum being able to work in many browsers rather than losing my 'work'.
After all like someone already mentioned, why protect your 'text' when you can get information from other forums & websites for nothing.
The added bonus of course is my forum works a little faster from less codes lol
