There should be rule for quoting

1.) If there are big picture(s) or video(s) in the quote remove them because they really slow down the threads and make the threads look messy.
It is unnecessary to see the whole big picture or video again the quote.


Me personally, I have lightning speed internet as many people probably have as well, so it really doesn't affect our speed, but it meses our threads.


Does anyone agree?

Yeah, it can get annoying - how about removing the tags, though, rather than the whole link? That way, people who hate to scroll can just click on the link?

eg:

Code:
[IMG]thisisalinktomaiphoto[/IMG]

to

I don't think there should be rules, I think people should just not be idiots and build up pyramids and crap.

Damn I wanted to go there! :P

Anyway, blackholing and excessive picture/video quoting slows me down for one. Even just quoting a long post - what's wrong with just finding the few words you want and cutting it down to size? Or, if it's the whole post, just commenting on it without quoting it?

Haha, reminds me of Lino roleplaying, by mistake, as "Dean Fat-Fucker". I laughed SO hard. He meant to say "fast" too, had a love/hate relationship with other roleplayers, and Spanish is his first language. Strange how history repeats itself. :P

We did! That was back when we were PMing each other 200 times a day, Lewis. That was the 11th Birdies I think, where I won my second Icon Award (stjimmy got into a right mood about that) and you officially gave me the IMAs, and where TWB got back at Lino by, erm, Aerospliff sitting on Gutiers. One of my favourite TRSG threads ever.

Far more annoying is chain quoting. And by that I mean having 8 posts all inside one quote. Christ, you only need maybe 2 at most. Otherwise, delete the older ones, please?
