An increasing number of posts are in contravention of the terms of use of these boards.
Let me make it clear - I am getting sick of having to trawl through postings and put in quote tags and sources for plagiarised material.
This will not do.
If posters continue to use third-party materials without proper quote tags and without saying where the material came from then I will have no alternative but to issue official warnings.
If you don't know how to quote third-party material properly:
enclose QUOTE in square brackets at the start of the copied passage
enclose /QUOTE in square brackets at the end of the copied passage
Be sure to add your source as an http reference at the end of the posting or passage.
Here is how it should look (thanks to James007 for the visual aid).
