Quote Limit 

Post#1 » by ndnow » Fri Jan 28, 2011 12:46 am

Who implemented this annoying rule onto the boards without thinking or testing the consequences? Such a pain in the ass this thing to edit every reply, at least fix how quotes are made when hitting the reply / quote button too.

Stop being lazy and just delete one set of quotes.

Stop ball washing the admins and support this man.
I'd always thought of propane as a dignified lady. But she can also be a dirty girl.

I hate people that are too lazy to even hit the delete button (or backspace if you prefer). Also from a realistic standpoint of things that need improved on the forum, that is not towards the top of my list.

This rule is great. It stops bickering little girls from arguing and quoting each other so that each post sums up the thread with 20 little swipes at each other within it.

Instead of editing every reply, just avoid quoting ALL THE TIME. You'll experience a euphoria new to you. Enjoy.

I'd like the old system where the quotes are automatically pared to the last 2 replies only.

Going to have to if using a phone b/c this is a HUGE pain in the butt for a phone. Only problem is the confusion in a thread where people think you are responding to them when you aren't. Which happens even with the quoting system from time to time.
