i sometimes see someone put in their post "do not leech" or something like that.
but what exactly is leeching? wikipedia says it has something to do with medical stuff but i doubt that is what the people here mean.

Good question!
'Leeching', when used on/in a community such as MPGH pertains to taking someone else's work and posting it elsewhere without giving credit but it is not exclusive to online forums. A leech is a bloodsucking aquatic creature which is where that derives from and often applied to people who, per the official definition, "a person who extorts profit from or sponges on others".
