One of the questions is concerning copying and pasting from a browser, new sites, social media or any source. Though, I’ve read through the rules and seen that copy paste isn’t allowed, the question now is what if one is to read through the information provided by any of the above mentioned  and in such formulate your wordings, will there still be need to reference the link from which the information was gotten?

As a newbie I would also like to know if asking questions back to back based on the fact that I haven’t known all yet, wouldn’t cause a penalty of restriction from the forum or a closed account entirely .

Hmm, As a newbie the more you are better for you, to have concrete information and a good reputation, but creating the threads already discussed many times is also not a wise action, There's no restriction on how many questions you can ask, except you don't spam by burst posting. So before asking and creating any topic you can utilize the search feature to find out whether the question si already been discussed before if yes better not to create a new topic and gather information from the older sources, but if you are finding any difficulty ask freely you are free with your keyboard.

For the rest having a reference link always gives a + point in the authenticity of the content and you can avoid many problems if you have a proper reference to the information you are quoting. It's not necessary every time, sometimes you can ignore it as well, but having a link is the surety.
