Mods' Note: Yes, we may delete off-topic, unfunny, or rule-breaking posts, and we may ban users who can't follow the rules or who repeatedly give us grief. However, we may also make exceptions, because this is a fun com and we're nice that way. Also- there's mod posts with stuff maybe not covered here.

"I don't watch the news anymore, I read Metaquotes." --
OBJECTIVE RULES
- Quotes must originate on LiveJournal.
- Quotes must be original -- eg. no quoting someone quoting Mark Twain. When in doubt, Google.
- You must credit quotes by linking the LJ post where you found 'em and the username of the quotee. ("Even 'Friends Only' posts?" Yes.)
- If you do quote from a locked/private entry, ask for permission. Let us know you got permission by adding "QWP" to your post.
Public posts/comments don't need it.
Quoting locked posts without permission is a bannable offense. - Got several quotes? Don't spam -- use one post.
- Use the LJ-Cut for spoilers or really disturbingly offensive quotes. (Hint: the word gay is not offensive) MQ never was SFW, never will be.
- Keep 'em short -- if we have to click the scroll bar, it's too long. See LJ-Cut.
- General consensus: quoting yourself is lame. So there's another com for that. (Asking to be metaquoted? Dorktastic.)
- You've got 100 characters to set-up, comment on, or explain your quote if you really have to. That's the allowed length of a title slot, in case you need a shortcut.
- Namecalling makes you a bunchypantstupidhead. Just don't.
SUBJECTIVE RULES
- Yes, we make exceptions for JournalFen funnies. Cope.
- Humorless whining about quotes you don't like is boring. Don't. However, feel free to mockity mock mock away.
Breaking these rules will result in A) deletion or B) merciless mockery.
