Copying and pasting information

We have noticed that occasionally one or two of our members copy and paste from the internet, unintentionally making it appear that the text is their own - Please do not copy and paste information straight from other websites without making clear where this information has come from at the beginning of the post (by showing a link ).
Preferably use a link, instead of copying and pasting, to the original website text so that people can read it straight from the original source.


If you feel it absolutely necessary to quote from a source please make it clear that it is a quote, with a link to the full article where the quote came from included with the quote, to protect copyright.

Thats a fair point Jan,the problem with selective copy and paste it can be so mis-leading and on occasion not represent the original documents intention.
