Dear pft7,

You have received a warning at The Bell Tree Forums.

While we understand the intent behind your post was to be funny, unnecessarily stretching the post out for others we need to draw the line at. Next time, consider putting your post in a spoiler tag or at least shortening the amount quotes. Partially quoted below is a an excerpt from our Rules and Guidelines, please try to be courteous of other members in your future posts. Thank you.

Rules and Guidelines - 1.b. Post Quality (partial quote) said:

The following types of content fall under post quality violation and may be removed or moved to The Basement at a moderator's discretion alongside a warning, infraction, or suspension:

• Poor quality replies which add little or no meaningful content to the conversation or thread. This includes, but is not limited to the following:
  • Low content replies which add little or nothing to the conversation. If your post is only a few words, you should probably say more, or don't post.
  • Image or smiley replies, including GIFs or videos, with little or no other meaningful content alongside them.
  • Replies which are off-topic, do not contribute to the subject, or are otherwise irrelevant.
  • Simple and short agreement replies, such as "I agree", "This", "Thanks", "Lol", and "Haha". Instead, use the Like button or contribute to the discussion by explaining your opinion in more detail.

On another forum I use we are encouraged to quote the OP and there are some folk who are openly critical about those who don't.

How do you feel about people who quote the OP on forums when posting in a thread? I find it unnecessary and annoying, unless they're perhaps highlighting a specific sentence/paragraph to respond to. The same applies to those who quote really long posts when replying instead of just taking an excerpt.

wait why is this a problem?
if you are reading through a thread.... and you come to a quote, you can just pass over it because you know its a quote.
If you are just going through a thread, you also can clearly know what is a quote and what is not, so you can skip over it...
