Dec 22, 2016 at 22:28 comment added Zanna Mod @ElderGeek thanks! I agree in principle. I use the script in an ongoing project and I'm still tinkering :) I got all the help I needed from the question, and I did post my unadapted version as an answer too as it was sufficiently different in approach (worse, as I now see clearly haha) from the others. At the moment I don't feel I have a sufficiently distinct question to post about it - it's just a few details that are different, but I will consider your suggestion the next time I revise the script :)
Dec 22, 2016 at 22:17 comment added Elder Geek @Zanna I just wanted to respond to your comment regarding invalidating an answer by changing a question above. I would agree that that's unacceptable. However, since your question changed and you modified the script(s) you received to answer that new question, it might be nice to ask and answer to share that. In that way you could give credit where credit is due and help others that also had your new question. Just a thought. Cheers!
Dec 22, 2016 at 20:34 comment added terdon Mod @JacobVlijm you were never lectured! And that someone is a mod on another site, has half again your network-wide rep, and has been on SE for as long as you have. Even if none of that were true, however, you were never lectured!

Dec 22, 2016 at 20:20 comment added Seth Mod It's worth noting I think we've all had experiences like this. It is definitely frustrating, but it cannot be helped. In my experience the best course of action is to move on. Whether that means to another question or away from the computer depends on you. I've had to do both before. A small, but polite, rant in chat is not entirely out of place either (I've also done that ;)
Dec 22, 2016 at 20:17 comment added Seth Mod @JacobVlijm There was no personal attack. The only time he mentions your name is a compliment! He even asks "could I have handled this better?". "Being only human" is not a ticket for rude behavior, especially over 15 worthless internet points! I'm sorry if you feel I've made this into a quarrel between the two of you, but saying you "aren't allowed to feel emotion" is a harsh twist of the facts. You are held to the same standards everyone else is.
Dec 22, 2016 at 20:12 comment added Jacob Vlijm @Seth ...but for the record, I already mentioned I shouldn't have done that, but he, I am sorry I am human. Furthermore, the question isn't so much about his answer, but the statement that it is perfectly allright if OP posts a slightly edited (improved is really questionable) and accepts. I don't see why you are changing it into a quarrel between him and me?
Dec 22, 2016 at 20:03 comment added Jacob Vlijm @Seth his post was a personal attack, mine isn't for sure. I don't read his name multiple times in my post.
Dec 22, 2016 at 20:02 comment added Seth Mod @JacobVlijm Feeling emotion is not the same as deleting your answer, telling the OP you will never answer another of his questions and then posting on meta about it, while telling him if he posts on meta he cannot expect more help from you.

Dec 22, 2016 at 19:01 comment added Zanna Mod @Serg hmmm... I think... emotion, and therefore time&care, is not irrelevant... we are volunteers, exactly, so what we feel is important, as the question implies. The reward we get, the motivation that brings us, is emotional, no? The letter of the law is one thing, and the spirit of the law is another, maybe... If Jacob Vlijm feels some pain about this event, then I think that should be taken seriously and addressed at least through discussion, not dismissed.
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:56 comment added Jacob Vlijm @Zanna, on one hand, we all do it for the greater good. At the same time, we, or certainly I, want the right signature below my work.
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:48 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy @Zanna Time and care is kind of irrelevant ( except for the quality of answer). You have to realize that as stackexchange member, you are a volunteer. The etiquette is simple: give attribution to where you got the code. What you post is public domain for others to use and reuse.
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:44 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Please see: meta.stackexchange.com/q/288629/295160
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:39 comment added Zanna Mod Considering it from the other side, however, I once got some great answers to one of my own questions, accepted one, upvoted all of them, later changed my mind about exactly what I wanted, adapted my own script, and kept all those later developments entirely to myself because it would be outrageous on my part to change the question and invalidate the answers, I think
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:39 comment added Zanna Mod Hmm what do you think can be done about it though? There are not many people, I think, who take so much care and time over answers as you, and I certainly don't, so maybe I can't really understand, but I think, OP did that in good conscience, and even if I think it's not good etiquette, the only thing I can think of to do is to refrain from upvoting...
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:33 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy sure, but you don't put the license into your scripts. Besides, OP made quite a few changes to the original script ( OP didn't just blantly copy and paste), and has given attribution. You can't restrict people from modifying your code, if you're posting it on stackexchange sites and re-using the code in their own answers. Sorry, I don't agree with you on this one
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:26 comment added Jacob Vlijm @Serg that does not imply that yiu would be fine with the situation above. So says the gpl I practice.
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:23 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Well, you can believe my license that I put in almost every script and indicator - MIT. As long as the person provides attribution and makes modification to the code, rather than blantly plagiarizing - then it's OK.

Dec 22, 2016 at 18:09 comment added Jacob Vlijm @Serg quite frankly, I don't believe you. If someone took one of your indicators, added a few lines and posted it and accepted, you would be fine?
Dec 22, 2016 at 18:06 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy OP has given attribution, plus improvements to original. I personally find it OK. It's no different if someone took my answer , modified it, and posted on similar question, or forked a project on github within license specs
