Quote:NOTE: This forum has rules, so you should care about quoting members accurately. See #18.
Your "renegade" quoting style of deleting usernames from your responses fails to alert member that they are being addressed by you, and you're reproducing members' content without giving proper credit/citing your source.
As an aside, Staff have had a bit of a chin wag about this and the upshot is...no. Leaving a poster's name out of a quoted response doesn't violate the rule against quoting inaccurately, since it doesn't alter the content of what is being responded to. And - it the cases where it happens - it really doesn't appear to present a difficulty in determining who is being responded to.
That being said, it's generally a good idea to include the name of the author of the post to which you're responding, but failing to do so doesn't rise to the level of an actionable violation of the Rules.
