To be fair, it really doesn't happen that often. The last week or so has seen an unusual number of 'quote, quote, quote, quote' posts.

Thank you!  Pleased it's not taken 2 years to implement the will of the people to get to an almighty mess..........  :022:  (Feel free to delete if that's inappropriate!)

Its not rocket science for someone just to put a name on to reply to,instead of adding every quote,which half the time has nothing to do with what they are replying to.

At least there has been some feedback, thanks! I thought it was a subject worth mentioning.

I believe forums can be set to have a limit of quotations (this is certainly the case on several other forums I know of), I would suggest a maximum of 3.

A good compromise!!! I get so bored looking at the length of requotes, by the time I get through reading them I forget what the thread is about! Perhaps it is an age thing?

Seeing as though there is a post dedicated to Mods...
Is it really necessary to lock a conversation thread because two idiots are being immature... What does locking a thread and starting a new one accomplish? Surely there is a way of just blocking certain users for a couple of days..

Sting of the North

I agree with you in principle, and trust that moderators act as they see fit. Just a humble request to refrain from personal insults, like calling fellow posters idiots.

Since I have a creeping suspicion that I am one of the aforementioned idiots, I do apologize for getting caught up in any pointless off topic conversations, and will try to better myself going forward. As stated, if moderators feel that I am being out of line in any way I hope that they let me know in a manner of their choosing, as it is never my intention to derail this message board. Now, let us all go back to supporting the team we love.

yes very annoying when you have half a page taken up with 2 people arguing between themselves


I find it annoying too
I dont have an issue with it really.


I do when it gets to about haf a page, a couple of replies are fine, but when there is a couple of long replies or many quotes it just a waste of space

Only issue is when people adjust to new system, they may think for instance Nero said all the things in above message.

It also makes it look like he has multiple personality disorder and is arguing with himself! No it doesn't.  :005:
