Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Posting long passages of outside text is prohibited.

This is the guideline that is most difficult for me to have the heart to enforce.
And it is the one that people will ignore the most and actually fight to maintain their "right" to post huge sections of work written by other people.

I love the ease with which you can read an entire offering within the context of staying in this forum and not having to click an outside link.

However, it is one of the most important to enforce as it prevents massive infringement upon the copyrights of others - and more reasons which you can find by searching the web.

The term "netiquette" brings up some great resources for understanding why these guidelines are put in place across all forums and discussion lists.
