Quote only "when" necessary. Quote only "what's" necessary.

Dear Members,

Please follow the below guidelines while quoting posts. In a nutshell, Quote only when necessary. Quote only whats necessary.

• The main purpose of quoting is to provide context for your reply. So, while quoting posts, delete out whatever isn't directly applicable to your reply.
• DO NOT use "Quote" as a substitute for "Post Reply".
• It is not courteous to quote entire posts without reason. You would unnecessarily increase the page length making browsing harder for members.
• Clicking on icon to the right of the quoted member's name (see attachment below) will take readers to the full original post. So quoting the entire post isn't useful either.
• Please DO NOT quote if you are just thanking people for participation in a thread or appreciating a craft work. Just referencing them by name in your response should be good enough.

Note: icon takes members to the full original version of the quoted post. So, don't quote the entire post.
