Something everyone should know regarding quoting. "Plagiarism" is a big no-no. To avoid unintentional "plagiarizing", the following should be kept in mind. When quoting words which are not your own:


  • If the quoted words are from another ats member, use quote tags. Like this:

    [quote]

    blahblahblah[/quote]

    It will produce this:



    blahblahblah


    ***

  • If the quoted words are from an external source, use ex tags. Even if you do not have a link, you need to use tags on quoted stuff. I.e. lyrics, from a book or whatever. Like this:

    [ex]

    blahblahblah[/ex]

    It will produce this:



    blahblahblah


    ***

  • If you are quoting from a news article, use news tags (Note: ex tags may also be used here). Like this:

    [news]

    blahblahblah[/news]

    It will produce this:




    blahblahblah

    Confusing? If in doubt, don't quote


    Oh, and welcome back


    edit: removed an apostrophe to make the color bb-code work...
