    Default New Rule... Rule 16

    We'll call this new rule the Dutch Uncle rule.

    Quote Box Altering:

    One can alter a quote box by removing some of a wall of text to expose the specific part you are responding to, or splitting it apart so you can respond to each item one at a time. However, altering the words posted and changing the meaning of what they said for whatever reason (a joke for instance) is not allowed unless you change the "quoted by" portion of the quote to make it clear that the original poster did not post what you are "making" them say. We will begin by deleting these posts, and if it continues we will get into banning.

    Example:

    A bad "quote" that we would delete:

    An altered "quote" that would not be deleted:

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    So, no more altering quote boxes to make it look like you quoted somebody saying something they have not.

    Aw c'mon man! That being allowed here was freedom!

    If you're gonna have freedom you gotta take the bad with the good, baby!

    In b4 I violate that one by accident.

    I will respectfully request a reconsideration of yet another rule.


    Katzgar does that all the time. I don't care. His arguments are weaksauce. Let him do his bullshit w/o it being against the rules?

    Do you really want moderators to get moar reports?

    I'm sure today was lively.

    The good news is delete but not alter.

    Is that who you call "Sybil," Into the Night et al? I have them on ignore.

    PiMP is the one I see altering quotes all the time. Lesion just changes the names, as far as I've noticed. Which is great because then you're not bothered by notification, and most likely miss most of them anyways. Not a loss. lol

    Yes; Sybil = Into the Night and his socks gfm175 and IBDaMann. Have you visited his faux forum in his signature? It's like shining a flashlight inside his head. LOL

    Agreed PmP displays his lack of Christianity by altering posts into vulgar comments. Agreed that changing the name negates the alert feature and are easily ignored.
