This is real Missy Manners Interwebz n00b trying to become net nazi stuff. If material is copied in its entirety and posted in a not-for-money forum, the current netiquitte is to enclose the entire body in quotes with the source identified and given credit, as well as a link. In some forums, the standard phrase is "not real without a link". If it is objectionable, most places send a cease and desist. Seriously, nobody but some people glued to their monitors are going to send the NSA to take down a gossip-and-opinion forum.
