Lazy quoters

Post by ty »

I don't normally pipe up with complaints, but I feel I have to with the proliferation of lazy quoters I'm seeing.

I get about 15 mins every morning to look at KSRC - I'm lucky if I get any other time to look. I know others are in a similar boat.
So I'm interested in seeing and reading the meat of posts, not trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Beyond post whoring, the thing that is p1$$ing me off atm is people feeling the need to continually fully 'quote' large posts and/or images for no apparent reason, or when they can take 2 extra seconds to edit the quote so that it only contains the actual quote they're referring to.

I'm getting tired of scrolling through pages and pages of quote where all someone has to say at the end of them is 'LOL', 'what he said', or some other useless drivel.
I think this has come up before and was curbed - it appears to be back.

Can we be a bit more considerate when posting please?
The forum guidelines http://www.ksrc-au.com/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 18&t=16976 don't explicitly state anything about quoting, but if you read them you'll find that tidy quoting is a logical extension.

Admins/Daves, if I'm out of line so be it and I apologise.
However, this probably being the first complaint I've made, perhaps there's some weight behind it.

Thanks
Back to normal programming.

I knew some of the comedians would respond to this one ;)
I am serious though - didn't do it to incite more activity.
