Stop replying to someone by quoting their entire post, immediately after them! Few things on forums drive me more insane than reading someone's post, and reading the whole damn thing again quoted immediately below!!!

Quoting should only be used when you're replying to a post a couple posts above, or to a specific line in someone's post that you want to quote to make your own post clearer.


Redundancy FTL!!!

i could sometimes do so, but others i don't know if i'll be the first to reply or not, since it's an "active topic" what i may be trying to say to one person, could be intercepted and misread by someone else who "stole" my spot in the thread since i was writing my reply slowly and carefully, instead of quickly, illegibly, and spammily.

no more spam please

A few posts deleted.
Any more spam, and in addition to the new-posts going bye-bye, several more older ones when disappear.


On the subject... I agree. Unless the topic is short and concise (I.e. a two paragrapher made by someone dedicated to sticking to subject), quotes should be broken up. Though this clutters up your post, it does allow you to address specific things, and allows to reader greater insight into what you are speaking about.

Annoying isn't it.

It's a general lack of grasp on the English language as a whole from those who do that. It's laziness and ignorance, and instills the general impression that the person hasn't even bothered to read your post in the first place.

Even if slightly OCD to have a full scale rant about it, I'm agreeing
