RE: Stop Quoting OP! - Pirate - 05-23-2016
I don't see this done very often but it sure as hell is annoying when it is done.

I've noticed this happen, hopefully I haven't done this in the past, I generally only quote if I'm trying to reply to things they've said in the post.

PLEASE. I get this on like half my threads and it's the most annoying thing imaginable.

Unfortunately I am guilty of this. I do it accidentally out of habit. Must make sure I stop this.
RE: Stop Quoting OP! - insidious - 05-24-2016
I am very tempted to quote OP in a thread clearly against that subject
I must resist this temptation
this first-world-anarchy inside of me must be contained
nyeaarrhhhshgdgdgd
...
I'm probably guilty of this myself somewhere along the line,
but it's been noted.

Just bumping this, as I still see it occur.

I've resolved to link this thread every time I reply to someone that does it.

Just a question, what If your response refers to a particular word, phrase or statement made by the OP, thereby you quote the original post In an edited and concise form to denote exactly what you're referring to?
In other words (for example), your response on It's own Is not specific enough to signify exactly which part of the original post you're addressing. I'm just asking, nothing more.
People are quoting the entire original posts, and it's obnoxious. Nobody wants to re-read the OP multiple times. If someone is referring to a particular phrase or paragraph, it's fine to quote just part of the original post.
I totally agree with this dude.

Okay I will stop, that would be ignorant to not.

We must be children because that was also my first reaction. I need to grow up.
