I know this will not make a damned difference
And I am pointing fingers at nobody in particular
(I hate love you all the same)
Just ranting, as one does in the rants forum


I hate it. You hate it. We all hate it.

It's super duper easy to just reply to a member, isn't it?
Why quote the whole bleeding post? *facepalm*

And for that matter, why y'all quoting whole replies?

FFS I wrote the damned thing, I know what I said
Just reply to the member. THE MEMBER.

Like this:

See how much space that didn't take up?

Anyway, if king for a day I'd abolish the quotation function
Let people copy / paste like the good 'ol days
It will save load on the site, declutter pages
And SIGNIFICANTLY improve thread readability

My two cents.

The times when I absolutely love it the most, is when it's like the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th reply in the thread, yet the entire long OP is repeated....

Those are definitely my favorite.


 

ETA: Yeah. Like that↑↑↑

Let's zoom this thread right to the top of the ATS leader-boards.

Wasn't there a time when management asked us not to do that That it took up to much band width or whatever it's called?

I totally agree. I'm glad that nothing major is going on and we can focus on items of proper posting etiquette. So glad we can have these kinds of problems. Now that we've proven that the world is a sphere and aliens are fake.

Hang on someone's knocking on my door.
Some dudes with clipboards and machine guns.
Be right back...

I could say I disgree with your whole statement, but that would make a liar out of me...

What was this about exactly like some other post I didn't take the time to read the full rant!

LOL @ this entire thread.

I'm smelling what you're stepping in.

I can see how it may help lurkers, but not users as they can click the name replied to for the post.

You got to love a thread filled with screenshots of exactly what's being criticised...

I totally get it, the post content is just a place holder for our beautiful avatars, makes my one liners look so long.
