Thats right, if one intends to share any information here with forum mates, a URL can be given, instead of copying the entire content and pasting it in the forums. This may harm the ranking of the forum due to duplicate content. Else, one can edit the information (atleast 60% of original content) and then post it into the forum.

I can understand the good intention of knowledge sharing, but we cannot forget the harm that we might cause to the forum.
