What? Why can’t they? Posting snippets of the article drives discussions… It’s a common thing to do, and usually gets me to jump in with an opinion or rebuttal.
I respectfully disagree, as someone that hasn’t been part of this community for long. I feel people should be allowed to speak freely as long as it’s topical and not against tos, and you deleting posts you feel aren’t fostering discussion could be seen as you deleting direct quotes that you don’t agree with.
Surely you don’t think that would be plagiarism…
Like, OP posting a few paragraphs from an article is not them trying to pass the article off as their own.

Please dont just post cut-and-pastes from the article

Engagement is good!
Because if that’s all there is, and its multi-paragraph chunks, it doesn’t actually foster discussion

That said, you’re the mod, you get to decide.
I’m highlighting parts of the article that the headline and blurb seem to have obscured in the name of click-bait.
I am interested, could you post the quotes and your thoughts on them?
Its a huge chunk of the article with nothing from you. And it’s not even marked as a quote. Thats just plagiarism, not a positive.

This is a kind of surreal thread.
