what is the correct procedure?
Is there a correct procedure for posting the WA rules in a blog, and if so what is it?
A blog quoting the WA rules was blocked twice for not being unique and taking content from another website.
I raised this issue before and was advised by a member to type the rule rather than copy and paste.
On this occasion I typed the blog, including the rules in word then copied and paste; this is my normal procedure.
It is my sincere wish to get a better understanding of the rules and help other members who are struggling with the same issue. I am learning in classrooms that several members have lost WA privileges and do not understand why.
Should I have posted the link to the rules rather than quote the rules word for word?
If there was anything in my blog other than the rules that was written in another website I am not aware of it or have not seen it.
Again I removed the quoted rules and posted –Rule 6 & 7 – and the post was allowed.; but I would have preferred to have the rule itself published for readers to look at, rather than having to search for them.
Can someone please shed some light on my questions?

If you've followed the threads the last two weeks Courtney, following rules lately with all the policing is like giving birth to an elephant! No great solutions yet if any. Seems to be a result of the "improvements" that were spawned at Vegas!
Solutions are necessary; losing privileges is serious and members are breaking rules without being aware of the fact.Thanks for your comments.

It's probably better to use the link to the rules and mention which rule you are dissecting. Spam is a NO NO!
Thank you, much appreciated.
