Copy and Pasting for repeated questions?

[Crysta]

I've noticed that many of the questions I've answered are repeated questions.... Is it OK if I copy and paste MY advice into a multiple threads that are asking the same question? Or should I link my response into the thread? Am I able to quote myself from a different thread?

For example: Many people are asking in several threads personal method on introducing flock members.. It it acceptable to copy and paste my method for them into all these threads? I don't want to look like a spammer

I hope it's acceptable--some of us keep a file of things just to copy and paste.

I wouldn't go and look though threads to answer just to answer. If a new post pops up, it is fine, but it is spammish if you search out all the threads with that question and just C&P in all of them.

Haha, yea I wouldn't do that. I would only be doing this if no one has responded to the thread.

Thank for your responses!

A lot of people post a link to the other thread they answered in. I find this most helpful as some of the answers in the other thread may be helpful to them as well. Unless you just want to copy a small portion of what you mentioned, in which case copy and paste would be fine.
