so both is and are can be used?

Yes. And in this case, both would mean close enough to the same thing.

"Are" seems more natural to me, but that doesn't mean that "is" is wrong.

Nonsense. AF always capitalises and uses proper punctuation.

There are a few exceptions, I'm sure. Still, I'm not sure why you didn't just copy and paste it.

I think that it's stupid that you can change up people's quotes. They should do something about that.

I think it's fun this way. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to quote outsiders.

this guy I met once wrote:I can't write! Furthermore, I didn't write this! How can you accuse me of writing this? I didn't even say it. I don't even exist. Whoa! *disappears*

Misquoting is a problem in the real world, so I don't see why it shouldn't be in our forum world, too.
