bluesofa Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) I see it's been stated we're not allowed to 'multi-quote'. Fair enough, but I'm guessing that refers only to multi-quoting content from different users when you're making a single post? Is it OK to multi-quote from one single post - i.e. separating out parts of a post to reply to different points?

johng Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Why is there a "multi quote" option if multi quotingbis not allowed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Multiple nested quotes are allowed but not a excess of them. Three or 4 are OK but not a full page of them for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 My understanding of it is a single person replying to multiple posts from multiple other posters in a single post. I would say it is less forbidden and more discouraged. 2 or 3 no problem. I have seen someone quote and reply to a dozen or more on a single post and it is very difficult to plough through. You may use some parts of a post as long as the bits you have taken, and those omitted, do not alter the context of the original post. Forum Rules: 16) You will not make changes to quoted material from other members posts, except for purposes of shortening the quoted post. This cannot be done in such a manner that it alters the context of the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmer Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 We usually don't remove them if its quotes from the same poster and only a few quotes. //CLOSED// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
