These have not been changed. I'm just dividing the Posting Guidelines and Rules sticky into three different threads. For reference, the following is what the posting guidelines (http://gentlechristianmothers.com/community/showthread.php?t=114024) say about posting copyrighted materials to the board:
6. No posting copyrighted materials to the board—brief excerpts allowed, except do not post posts from other message boards, from mailing lists, from blogs, or from Facebook pages (see our copyright policy).

Policy for Posting Copyrighted Materials to the Board

Please do not post copyrighted material—this includes articles, poems, etc—to the board unless one or more of the following is true (and if any of these are the case, please note so along with the material you are posting):

1) you own the copyright
2) it clearly states that it is public domain
3) it says it may be freely copied
4) you have permission from the copyright holder to post it to the board. If you have received permission to print/reproduce it, please include that in your post.

If one of the above is not true, you may post an excerpt from the material. Please follow these guidelines:

1) Your excerpt should be approximately 100 words or less (please post a shorter excerpt if it is a poem or short article) .
2) When posting excerpts from materials online, please include a link to where it can be read online.

Do not post posts from other message boards, mailing lists, blogs, or from Facebook pages.

Edited the OP to add the following: For reference, the following is what the posting guidelines (http://gentlechristianmothers.com/community/showthread.php?t=114024) say about posting copyrighted materials to the board:
11. No posting copyrighted materials to the board—brief excerpts allowed, except do not post posts from other message boards, from mailing lists, from blogs, or from Facebook pages (see our copyright policy).

Noting that I edited the first post to reflect that guideline 11 is unchanged but it is now guideline 6. Flowermama changed the order of the guidelines awhile back.
