Salam @goldPseudo Sorry for the question, but why did you label my answers here as not "consisting primarily of the words of their author"? Are you referring to this answer in Quora? Well I'm its author and I can prove
that! So please revise your decision because I didn't violate the rules.
@G.Bach "Apart from not being traceable for goldPseudo whether that really was your answer" I can prove that, and goldPseudo had to ask me whether those were really my answers especially since I used the same name
@G.Bach In addition my quotes WERE ALL RELEVANT, the reason why I quoted the whole verse instead of say " If God had so willed, He would have made you one community" is to show that they were not taken out of context. I ask you herein, why do you think that they were "largely [...] irrelevant quotations."?
@G.Bach I mentioned each theme (for example "Differences in people's beliefs are bound to happen") that are related to religious freedom and I give under each one the verses that relate to that theme, how's that not "talking about religious freedom"?
@G.Bach Do you think that "Say, ‘Now the truth has come from your Lord: let those who wish to believe in it do so, and let those who wish to reject it do so.’ " doesn't state that?
We here have had a long and ugly history of copy-paste; as a site we actually seem to have had some success at discouraging these posts, which is an important step toward distinguishing us as a reliable source of Q&A rather than just another forum.
Kudos for that.
We still see a lot of posts wh...
@goldPseudo But the person was asking for all of the verses that relate to religious freedom, should I limit it simply because "long lists" are apparently bad?
What should we do if the answer that was copy-pasted from an external source was actually authored by the user themselves?
Possible cases:
It's a complete copy-paste without blockquotes
It's a complete copy-paste with(out) blockquotes and stated that the user themselves authored the content on...
> Answers should actually answer the question: This one is pretty self-explanatory. Often, copy-paste "answers" were written for a completely different purpose than what they're posted as (i.e. answers); even the ones that are copy-pasted from another Q&A site are rarely answering exactly the question asked here.
@goldPseudo Well mine did answer the question which was "Are there any verses in the Koran/Quran/Qur'an's that speak about religious freedom? If so, which themes are given? And what are these verses?"
@goldPseudo If you want more proof that I'm its author here's also a github post where I posted I formatted it in markdown and here's also a post in religiousforums.com that I made
Okay I'll take it to meta
@Medi1Saif 1) I had when I wrote that 1 in reputation, I couldn't make links 2) just because it's long doesn't mean it's difficult to read, which is the wrong question here by the way, the correct question is: does it answer the question? Which I believe it does
@Medi1Saif How so? Do you think that none of "1. Differences in people's beliefs are bound to happen" "2. Judgement between people in their differences in belief is in the Day of Resurrection and not in this earthly world" "3. Compulsion and coercion is prohibited, and it is the way of the unbelievers and believers are its victims" "4 The Human being is free and responsible for his actions" " 5 Obligation to use the mind, to think and ponder, and prohibition from blindly following the religion of one's parents (hence no such thing as forced faith or blind faith)" "6 The purpose of Prophets …
