Following the latest
"ratimov's case" may I propose the extra clause to the rules
"Text copied from Web page/s must be taken inside the quote tags linked to the source/s and
total not more than X
* percentages of the whole post content
counted in characters."
*-X is subject to discuss.
Regarding X, I would suggest 30%.
If you want to propose changes to the rules or how certain rules are to be interpreted, message theymos about it since he's the only one with the authority to make substantial policy changes. I don't make the rules nor do I decide on how they should be enforced (at least not for all moderators or to such a large degree; there's a reason why rule 23 exists). I've merely documented them as well as some common ways in how they're interpreted. That lack of authority should be apparent if you take into consideration the topic's name:
Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
This is echoed in both the top and bottom notices:
NOTE: This is meant to serve as a reference/educational/informational thread, NOT a rock solid list of rules.
Legal note: this forum post is a collection of personal observations on how Bitcointalk.org moderation functions at this point in time. It is not a codified set of rules or policies and may be partially or wholly inaccurate. I did not decide upon these policies and have no legal power to change or remove them. All legal queries, requests and demands regarding actual forum policy should be directed at the owner of Bitcointalk.org.
