Quoting rules

[Knuti]

I have a question concerning quoting from other sites.

For example Brandon Sanderson made some very interesting remarks on reddit about Wind and Truth.

Can I quote directly or must I use links?

Are there prior experiences?

Quoting is always forbidden. I'd say you can quote me on that, but it would be forbidden. (Kidding! )

I've seen many people post quotes from external sources here and have done it myself many times. The biggest thing to watch out for is to keep spoiler-related information in the appropriate forums and use spoiler tags where appropriate. It's easy to lose track of when you're posting in a non-spoiler-segregated section of the forum sometimes. I've made the mistake a few times, at least. It's also nice to post a link to the original source sometimes, though often it's not necessary.

No rules on this, I would quote and also link the source.
