Here on AtheistForums we have a nifty quote feature that usually links back to the originating post. It's quite useful for people who might be responding to a larger context but are using a set of selected points to debate with.
However, changing quotes to say something utterly else is not what we had in mind. Doubly so for those who keep the 'pid' section of the quote tag to point to the Original Post intact but rewrite what was said (sometimes tongue in cheek, often vitriolic, totally can be put within your own post in your own words).
We really don't need to do that.
Especially when the vast majority of y'all have decent enough arguments handy and a matching brain to utilize them.
It has been a part of the rules for a while, but I feel it is necessary to give a 'Heads Up' to the community before this becomes an issue.
