Misuse of the quote button

[r1s2g3]

I think forum should ban Multi quotes or pyramid quotes. They are just increasing the length of post without any value addition.
For long quotes, quoting can be limited to say 100 words.

Ban, it is unrealistic suggestion.
However, another punishment, like red tags might be good.
Jet Cash proposed about it in another topic.
By now, I known that the forum has only report for spamming posts, repeatedly posts with same contents around.
I wish that in the future, theymos will expand reports on pyramid quotes.

I am not saying ban the user, I was saying ban the multi quotes/pyramid quotes. In other words remove/disable this existing functionality of pyramid quoting. No need by theymos to start another report.
Due to forum pyramid quoting option, I need to manually delete the earlier quotes.(but I will leave them today.)

Best option will be a neutral tag instead of red tag because in the first place, the trust system was introduced for trust feedbacks not as punishment for breaking forum rules. You can report a post if you feel the excessively quoting have turned the post into a spam and moderators will look into the report.

Indeed, leave the old times of using the Red Trust, but as for breaking the rules numerous times Reds might be considered OR just a perma ban I think

I think forum should ban Multi quotes or pyramid quotes.

it can't be banned for it being used for social media bounty reports not unless we're also trying to ban them from running here.
Or maybe a new type of message report will be given to the participants. Just like, instead of quoting they'll have A,B,C / 1,2,3 / Buttons or even using Horizontal Rule

Or maybe the function should be re-coded that only the OP instead of the previous ones would be quoted.

When you say OP you mean

'OP' Original Post / Original Poster. This could refer to either the user that started the thread or the first post in the thread.

If that's what you mean, I disagree with you because If this was already implemented it means I won't have been able to qoute reply you right?
Qouting shows you're giving a direct response to another reply on thread. replies without quote most times on a thread shows you're responding to the original thread/post. And other times, those type of reply can be confusing as one may not know what you're responding to.
Qouting shouldn't be restricted to OP in fact, qouting the OP isn't necessary unless you're responding to a particular sentence in that OP and qouting the whole OP isn't appropriate.

I meant the person who posted it, not just the thread starter. So if I were to quote your post above:

--snip--

I agree with clicking the link from Quote from: (Forum User) will redirect to the post that is not snip like this post I quoted. I've been doing that when I'm searching the forum to redirect me to the post I wanted to find or to read.

[Velkro]

In this post you would notice some members quoting the whole post and some of the reply are not just important and really unnecessary

This is so problematic for discussion. I always choose my quote that i want to post reply to. Almost never quoting whole post unless really necessary.
I wish more would do that, discussion would be easier to read.

It was sad to know that the violator given above by OP was a senior member, that was so disappointing . But that is not the worse, another part which annoys me is the fact that he only did a one liner post (probably he was thinking that his post will look longer by doing such thing). I'm pretty sure that all of us have the sentiment regarding this.

Anyway, there's nothing new. I know that it all sucks but actually I'm now learning to get used to it as time goes by. It's just like that I already accept that committing such lapses are inevitable.

Hmm, I think it becomes a laborious task because you need to click the link, wait for loading then go back again to your post. Nevertheless, it is still a good suggestion when it comes to the issue of making cleaner appearance of posts .

Neutral tags do not make sense, I think.
One more thing, if there are some kinds of punishments on pyramid quotes, some questions should be taken into consideration too. Because we can not punish others arbitrarily.
- How many repeatedly quotes will be considered as pyramid quotes.
- How many repetitions on pyramid quotes before get punishements.

Best option will be a neutral tag instead of red tag because in the first place, the trust system was introduced for trust feedbacks not as punishment for breaking forum rules. You can report a post if you feel the excessively quoting have turned the post into a spam and moderators will look into the report.

I don't know that it is possible in technical aspect or not.
You have innovative ideas, and I hope that theymos or forum mods might see your suggestion.

Always should spend a couple of seconds to do this.

It's doesn't necessarily have to be a red rag there can be other punishment melted to misuse of quote and it should be placed with the likes of spamming

One good thing about quoting is that the original poster is unable to change the post and therefore it is locked in forever. This is useful for bounty pages where they change the rules and then deny it.

For bounty pages like payment rates, and for bitcoin stake to identify ownership of forum account.
Anyway, we never have to make pyramid quote in those cases above.

Pyramid quotes only occurs with lazy spamming writers, who simply try to have more postcount and don't care what they quote, what they write.
