You are totally ignoring the points of readability and conversation-friendliness. Having replies addressing which poster and what post they are replying too makes it a lot easier to follow and read the conversations, and that's here the quote-function comes in. One button click, and one do not have to bother with writing @Someonew1ithanextremelylongAnddiffIcl_lltusernalvle, and in addition one get rid of the confusion about the reply are replying too. Those who are replying to the last post and plans to reply the whole post are with the current rule not allowed to address what and who they are replying in as easy way as everyone else.Cadde wrote:As i said, if it's not clear who you are responding to then use his name. There's absolutely no valid point in quoting an entire message if you are responding to someone.
Simply copy his name, put an "@" sign and paste the name.
I have never supported big pyramids, neither in numbers of quotes insides each other, nor in the size of the quoted posts.Cadde wrote:2) Quoting a quote in a quote (pyramid quoting) means you are repeating what has already been repeated. There, it becomes even more essential to ONLY do it if it's ABSOLUTELY necessary to do so. And that only really applies to very old posts from a few pages back.
That's how it is with every term, you will find this used more in posts outside of threads that spesificly is about the given term. Which is the reason everyone should learn to use the search function for finding a subject by picking the search options "Search within: (*)First post of topics only" and "Display results as: (*)Topics".Cadde wrote:On top of that, because of the way the forum software works, if people search for "Lorem ipsum", this particular thread will come first in the results even if there's a thread that actually has a more valid and flavored discussion about Lorem ipsum texts.
Making a statuette (keeping yourself to one single post) for explaining and countering me would be enough, but you rather choose to blow it making the forum's biggest statue making a big shadow over this thread and rule 2.6 for exemplifying your point, hence the Norwegian term "statuere eit døme".[2.6] Do NOT double post, if you have made a post already and yours is still the last in that thread then edit your previous post. (Exemptions of this rule include your own mod release threads, your own W.I.P. mod threads and your own media threads whether screenshots or videos, they still apply however if you are replying to someone elses mod, w.i.p. or media threads)
Not at all. I am wholeheartedly disagreeing. Quite a big difference to be honest.Magnum-driver wrote:You are totally ignoring the points of readability and conversation-friendliness.
Yes, but quoting something several times over gives one thread prevalence over another that doesn't have the term that frequently quoted. No matter what search options you use.Magnum-driver wrote:That's how it is with every term
You call it overblown. I call it realistic. You would understand if you had been around the forums before excessive quoting was dealt with.In order to counter me with your points, you have overblown and over-exaggerated your examples
Not at all. I am merely giving you a visual example of what the forums would look like in thread after thread if we didn't actually clean up and enforce the rule.in order to point out how you are right and I am wrong
That's not at all the intent of using Lorem ipsum. The intent was to fill out the post with content to show how quoting a medium/big/huge post really does nothing to add to the readability of a thread.You makes it looks like I support spam and nonsense
Of course i did. And if other moderators think i am out of line for doing so then i expect them to moderate the thread. I also expect other users to actually complain about it if they think i am out of line for doing so.and you even choose to violate rule 2.6 for doing this
