Use (or ABUSE) of the "Quote" facility.

Sorry, but that's unfair on the mods. I've been speaking to these guys for years and would consider some of them good eFriends: they've made no qualms in putting me in my place where necessary; albeit its a rare occurrence. In all fairness, your statement is pathetic.

Hi Rav ;-)

 

Alo you!

And in all fairness it was warranted, sniping at the mods for doing their jobs is ridiculous. Even if you do feel hard done by for whatever reason, the excuse of favouritism won't work.

Edit: Typo.

 

Favouritism... I always find some nice nude pictures from my teen years oil the wheels very nicely thanks.. LMAO!!

 

Although it doesnt seem to "bother" some members for me I just cannot understand why members continue to mis use this facility. Earlier this year we had the mods closing lengthy threads and it is my opinion that the unnecessary use of the "quote" increases the length of the thread.
I didnt want to single anybody out but I really dont care about the flack I will receive so here's the latest example I have encountered

I just cant see where it's necessary to repeat the original posters "quote"

 

ok i edited the post now are you happy? and what else can i do to make you happy? my soul reason to be on the site is to make sure everyones happy!! so i'm going though life to please others and make sure there happy and not worry about myself from now on out. any other request anybody?

so is this the new bitch thread? where we can whine about other members the site etc?

plus I'm assuming this rule is only for certain members?

6. No foul language, insults, personal attacks or otherwise rude messages.

 

Well, now that you asked.....How about the bold, the color, use of punctuation, grammer, multisyble words, etc.,etc,etc.....

 

Oh my gosh! I thought I saw a "quote"!

 

Very festive picture Rich.. lol

 

I would.

 

I'd help you look but I'm going to bed

 

theres one way to solve the bitching problem get rid of the quote,color etc.toolbar ban all sigs/profiles etc. make everyone a member no newbies aDa etc. dump the SV and make it a tech ONLY fourm. making things personal on a tech forum isn't cool. remember people be INDIFFERENT thats the key. the elitist/better than I attitude isn't cool either

 

I didnt mean to get personal and I dont think I did, I just used that link as an example but I am also miffed as to why someone would want to post in a thread using colored or bold text...if the shoe fits!!

Hey Neph....GREAT to have you back.

 

well i guess if we all liked the same thing in this world it would be pretty boring huh. theres really nothing to understand i just do it good/bad/indifferent you pick because i don't really care!!

if anyone else has a problem PM me i will give you my email address and we can discuss it off the site! if not drop it!
