Jan 17, 2017 at 17:05 | comment | added | enderland Mod | @DavidK I have done that, too. I have a fairly low tolerance for blatant copy/pasting though and sometimes a downvote and a comment are more useful at actually changing behavior than simply fixing it and enabling it. | |
Jan 17, 2017 at 17:04 | comment | added | Masked Man | @DavidK Good point. However, I think the problem there is it is not always clear how much of the content above needs to be blockquoted, until you actually go to the link and figure out what is copied. In enderland's example, for instance, is only "Another shamelessly copied paragraph." copied from link, or also "Lots of text blah blah blah."? I think it would be better to downvote and leave a comment urging the OP to clean it himself. | |

Using blockquote to illustrate non-use of blockquote would be confusing, without reading the explanation below. This formatting is hopefully clearer and aligns better with the intended point.
