I haven't seen this type of post from our mods in quite some time. I must admit that I thought we had quietly changed the rule on this as so many articles are now posted in full, just as this one was.
Could we have a revisit of the rules for consistency please?

I don't see the problem with quoting entire articles, once anything is posted to the net it becomes public property.

It is not necessary to post an entire article unless it is behind a pay wall.

You need to read some of the T&C's on news websites, particularly under sections on IP.

Maybe we could actually discuss something constructive then: is it really necessary to use abbreviations that most people don't understand? Just write the bloody words. I get sick of rushing off to Google to try to find what these mean. ETA? T&Cs? IP?
The whole point of coming here is to communicate with your audience; that's us the readers.

Surely if Shazza is going to re-sign it'll happen this week.
You'd think he'd be off on holidays or something real soon.
