Huh? Guessing he means like quoting a news article or whatever. But also no. Use iqdb and Google or go to /r/.

> Still a valid question, it's not a quote.
It's equivalent to saying, "Oh then Johnny was all, 'I HATE NIGGERS LOL'." or something.
Johnny may not have said those exact words, but you're mocking what he really said by paraphrasing it in a different way. Sort of like reported speech. Granted you're not quoting verbatim what someone said, but neither are you if you say, "The Prime Minister announced that [the bill] was fraudulent." He didn't SAY "[the bill]".

Don't become drowned in that "board culture" nonsense. Common inhabitants aside, this is an entire website.

Colloquialisms are harmless compared to off-topic posts and shitty, meaningless replies that plague this place. I'd rather an on-topic board with some green-text abuse than the shithole it is now.

Precisely. So, is it wrong to ask for source? I'm assuming the link wasn't provided (it happens, I'm never bothering to link to Touhou Wiki, for example), otherwise the entire point is moot.

>by paraphrasing it

Paraphrase is not a quote. It's perfectly fine to mock this custom by pointing it out.

Actually, you know, I'd put in in a chart myself:

So you were asked "who are you quoting?". Can you answer by providing the source?
- Yes: do it. The more apparent the source is, the dumber the person who asked will look.
- No: you probably should rethink your posting habits.

>> No.8411281

>>8411270
Stop being so pedantic. I can make fun of someone by putting words in their mouth (hence why the idiom exists) and if I was to write that down I'd use quotation marks. Perhaps even a block quote if it was long enough, which in this case is represented by the ">" operand.

I agree. There are very few instances of it being used to positive effect. You often get chains of 2 people doing it to each other in a childish manner to try to prove how right they are, creating both shitposting and spam.

Agreed, OP, that has been seriously annoying me.

I'd even say that stuff like >implying, as terrible as it is, counts as paraphrasing too, so usage of quoting is totally warranted, but whatever.

"Who are you quoting?" is meant to curb the retarded usage of greentext blog stories, and the misuse of this counter-meme is getting as bad as the original meme itself.

Yes it is because once you've presupposed someone has "said" something you then quote it.
