Title: Quote or reply? Post by: spiritbreaker18 on February 11, 2018, 09:49:15 AM Hello everyone, newbie here.
Some of my friends says that make a quote is better than to make a reply, Is that true? Title: Re: Quote or reply? Post by: Jet Cash on February 11, 2018, 10:18:03 AM If you can't think of an original and constructive reply, then you shouldn't post.

When writing a general answer to the original post (like I do now), quoting is probably unnecessary. When answering a part of the question or writing a reply to some of the later comments, it may be absolutely necessary to quote to avoid misunderstanding.

My general rule is that if I'm replying to the overall OP then I will just reply. If I am replying to some other post or some specific part then I will quote that post or part of that post.

That's right, I tend to do the same. There were a couple of long OP where I quoted to highlight a specific point I was answering, otherwise a simple reply will do. |
