In forum rules there is usually a rule that forbid to quote more than necessary from the previous posts. This redundant quoting is called "избыточное цитирование".
How to say it in English?
Thanks.

Thanks.
May be "excess quoting" or something like this?
I don't know. In russian it's common expression. Will "excess quoting" be understood by an average native English speaker in that context?Quote:

Oh, probably that's it. Thanks.Quote:

In other words I understand the terms "overquoting' and excess quoting" but not the context.
In Google: "over-quoting (over quoting)" - (14.900), "overquoting" - (22.500)
The set term is overquoting. I knew it back in 1994 in Fidonet.
Well, it's recommended not to overquote because huge quotes from other posts (one third of a page or more) usually don't necessary and don't give any usefull information, but take a lot of space and irritate other users. It's recommended to quote only those extracts which are crucial for understanding of your post.Quote:

I can explain better in Russian if you wish.
Excessive quoting, and not excess quoting
30,800 hits on Google for "Excessive quoting."
22,500 for "overquoting."
14,900 for "over-quoting."
1,740 for "Excess quoting."
Redundant quoting is my own invention. I'm surprised Google found it at all. :)Quote:
