I ask because there's a poster who repeatedly quotes posters but deletes the link and the user's name from the quote box in order to avoid notifying the poster that they've been quoted.

Why would anyone deliberately quote someone but remove their name from the quote?

Are you sure it's for nefarious purposes? Could be he likes to comment right under paragraphs and deletes the quotes code because, well, it's much easier that way.
But question. If he doesn't include the citation, how do you know he's quoting?

Because he leaves the posters name in. All he does is take out the post #. Try quoting your own post (the one I'm quoting now) but delete the 1066206183 that links to the actual post. You'll see that you don't get notified that you've been quoted.

Since there's no requirement here to quote someone accurately and/or completely when responding to a post, maintaining the integrity and meaning of another member's posts, there's no way in hell this should be considered a legitimate complaint.
Y'know, not so long ago we didn't even have the quote notification feature. Funny how we get to feel entitled to something once we get used to it. Personally, I don't see where it would make sense to make it against the rules to NOT post in a way that notifies another user.
