Eliminate blank quote posts.

ProtusMose Immortal. Eternal. Premium join:2001-10-03 Bellevue, NE kudos:4	Eliminate blank quote posts. There are few things that annoy me in the forums as much as people hitting quote, then posting just the blank quote with no remarks of their own. It's pointless and seems only to serve as a way to bump their post count. If they're doing it to show agreement with someone and are too lazy to type "I agree." then they can just click the thumbs button and not make it public. If it isn't too complex a problem, I'd like to see it so people can't just hit quote, preview, post. There would be ways around it of course, but if they're lazy enough to be doing the empty quotes, they're probably too lazy to type in a space or a period or whatever to get around it. -- This is my signature, ya dig?

removed Premium,VIP join:2002-02-08 Houston, TX kudos:36	sign sign sign The "quote and add nothing of your own" thing has gotten really annoying. But how would the mods stop it? Just delete those posts? Sounds like too much trouble. I doubt this is done to show your agreement with the previous poster... I say it's more of a 'post whore' issue. -- AIM \| irc.fj33r.com - #dslr \| oWn3d@removed.us

PJ D Pull My Finger Premium join:2002-10-19 Washington	reply to ProtusMose sign It just seems for the most part it's a way to bump the post count (useless as that is) and not contribute anything real to the discussion. -- Idiot in need of a village.

Mele20 Premium join:2001-06-05 Hilo, HI kudos:4	reply to ProtusMose I'm neutral on this. I don't notice this much nor does it bother me that much when I do see it. What drives me up a wall is the poster who is too lazy to cut and paste the RELEVANT portions of a post, but instead quotes the entire post, especially when it is a long post, and then goes on to comment. That is what I hate! -- "Everything can be taken from a man or woman but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's destiny."
