Flux	no, 3rd party material is OK	Anything that still relates to Virus, for example something read by us, then discussed by us, or that effects us in other ways should be able to be relevant. The included material of 'Best of Virus' could still be voted on.

simul	yes	Yes, but we shold rip off ideas, just shy of plagarism, where possible.
Aryn Ravenlocke	private	no comment
metahuman	yes	It cannot be the "Best of Virus" if the works are not Virian originals. However, a discussion log could be considered original material, but the topic, if 3rd party, is not therefore I see it as unacceptable as a standalone submission.
Galt	no, 3rd party material is OK	no comment
Atheist Crusader	private	no comment
LenKen	yes	To say that it’s the “Best of Virus” implies that it’s the best of Virions—with the obvious exception of quotations of up to, say, 250 words.
Joe Dees	yes	no comment
Drakeo Vortex	yes	no comment
michelle	yes	no comment
JerryLee	no, 3rd party material is OK	no comment

subdermal	yes	refences should go in a seperate structure, like 'CoV reader's appendix' or something

Hermit	no, 3rd party material is OK	Sometimes something external and short captures a moment. If that thing were posted - although not authored - or authored but not for the Church of Virus, I see no reason to bar it from consideration.
pickler	no, 3rd party material is OK	no comment
archangelsin	no, 3rd party material is OK	no comment
teh	no, 3rd party material is OK	no comment

deusdiabolus	no, 3rd party material is OK	although 3rd party material usage can lead to copyright issues...
letheomaniac	no, 3rd party material is OK	no comment
Bohandez	no, 3rd party material is OK	I think that any kind of knowledge should be included as long as it's good for the general public and the license is honoured.
Sat	no, 3rd party material is OK	no comment
