We've had a lot of drama on the forum lately about plagiarism, and I recall having a conversation with LoyceV
here about different ways of incorporating online copied text into your forum post to escape plagiarism charges. I observed a user accused of plagiarism a few minutes ago for quoting copied text from the Internet without citing the source. Now here's my question: Is quoting not enough proof that the Op never intended to pass off someone else's work as his own? Please educate me.

I said something about this a few days ago I may be wrong but I'm speaking from academic standards.

I believe the forum needs to understand the difference between citation and reference; they are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing; in academic publications, both are required, but I do not believe they are required on the forum; if you want to cite a few contents from the internet, you should simply put them in a quote; a link is not required; a reference source is only required when you copy/paste a full article
