    It's very annoying when someone makes a long post at the beginning and then someone responding quotes the whole thing. (Such as Fury!'s post HERE.)

    It's really annoying and I think it should be infractable as it is simply doubling the first post and can make a post really long.

    I had a good laugh at that. I removed the quote though :)

    This is ridiculous, if this were to be approved I will have lost all faith in this community.

    I agree. Extremely long quotes are a bit over the top.

    I really don't have a problem with it, just don't be lazy and keep scrolling. Doesn't happen that much..

    I don't think having something be more convenient is considered being lazy. And even if it is, the best inventions come for people being lazy.

    And yet by catering to lazy people we are only encouraging more and more people to be lazy.

    I don't really think it matters, so what if you have to scroll a bit, suck it up

    That would be nice, simply disable bbc in quotes and the size is cut down and yet you can still see the quote.

    The scrollbar was made so you can skip a whole bunch of text, I fail to see how this could possibly be infractable

    Kidding. I don't think it should be against the rules, because he's just quoting the first post. Though it is annoying, it shouldn't be against the rules, sorry.

    Harped, I think your post is just dumb. Why quote all of that? It's disruptive and annoying, (such as when you are browsing on an iPod/iPhone browser). Don't take the piss out of my idea when I think it is valid. Post maturely, or if you don't like it don't act like an idiotic faggot.

    iPhone Browser has no scrollbar. Just because you can post it and get around doesnt mean you should.

    This is a great idea and should be implemented somehow.

    Thanks to the people who haven't taken the piss, Zypur and Harped, your posts on this thread are some of the reasons that Sythe isn't the best it can be.

    Ridiculous suggestion, it doesn't hurt to scroll down for an extra few seconds you lazy bastard.

    Apparently a majority of people on Sythe are so set in their immature ways that they can't even listen to reason.

    I still support your suggestion.
