^I’ve also seen that in reference to pictures, particularly in the wedding section regarding wedding pictures, and I understand that. What confused me was when people requested not being quoted in reference to regular posts that don’t involve pictures.

Same here. I also understand in the case of pictures, but why would someone have a problem with a regular post being quoted?
