    Whats the latest guideline/rule of how much of an original newspaper article you can quote in a post? Less than 25%? The whole article?

    It's still a single paragraph, there's been no recent changes:

    Thanks, I was thinking that but double checking here but perhaps a communication to mods might be needed. I keep coming across posts like this

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056849645

    and they are posted by mods:eek:. I have already reported another today which was corrected but I say if I really went looking I could find 30-40 posts that break the guideline and worse still were originally posted by mods in the last week. Only making work for themselves and adding confusion among regular posters.

    Then, as always, report the post, and feel free to refer to Davs post regarding it.
