Stop people quoting long posts.

[kayosman]

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.

 

[bloodrico]

i agree.

 

[Darkgroove]

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

 

[kayosman]

Laugh at my suggestion you mean? I think that it's valid as it's ffffffff annoying.

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

The Sythe.Org Official Rules

This is how it works here at Sythe.org:
- Users will be given infractions when rules are broken.
- A user who receives 5 infractions will receive a temporary 14 day ban.
- A user who receives 7 infractions will receive a temporary 1 month ban.
- Infractions expire after 1 month.
- Users permanently banned after multiple temporary bans when necessary.

Users can also be banned immediately for breaking the most serious rules.

Users will receive 1 infraction for the following:
- Spamming: (in general):
* Posting short, unhelpful comments (such as "cool", "nice acc," etc).
* Flooding a forum with replies for the sole purpose of increasing post count. This may also be a permanent forumban in certain forums, especially if deliberate.
* Posting comments with little to no relevance to the topic
* Incessantly bumping a topic to get it to the top of the forum. (Wait until the topic has died before bumping.)

- Accusing someone of scamming: without proof (text logs DO NOT COUNT AS PROOF)
- Begging: asking for free RS items, RS accounts (etc) or asking for a rank or modship on Sythe.org
- Infraction Complaints: making a topic asking about one’s infraction, whining, asking for infraction removal, etc... anywhere except the Dispute Forum
- Trying to sell something that is free: for example, Sythe’s old autos or some free bot. However, selling the method of how to acquire these items is permitted in the relevant forum.
- Oversized signature: Maximum of 350 pixels in height including all quotes/text/pictures in it and a maximum of 650 pixels in width with all text/quotes/pictures. If this offense is repeatedly broken, you will simply be banned from having a signature.
- Flaming: excessive cursing, insults, and/or derogatory comments towards another user
- Advertising MM services: in any place except the User Services and MiddleMan Application forums
- Referrals: posting referral links for sites, surveys, other games, etc...

Users will be banned for 2 weeks for the following:
- Accrual (buildup) of 5 infractions

Users will be banned for 1 month for the following:
- Accrual (buildup) of 7 infractions
- *Warez: posting direct downloads to Warez, links of websites related to Warez - includes: posting full length motion pictures (movies) regardless of whether or not they are in theaters or on dvd, completed seasons of a television show (1-2 episodes due to comical reasons are permitted), shareware programs, cracked shareware programs, cracks/serials for shareware programs, etc...
- *Advertising: posting threads advertising sites - only allowed in personal signatures, advertising a business website (goldfarm sites) are not allowed in signatures or anywhere on the site unless you pay for a link. Email [email protected] if you want to purchase a link.
- *Porn: posting pictures, videos, links to websites related to porn, etc. The staff will decide what is porn. It is not for you to decide. Steer clear of posting anything which could be interpreted as porn.
- *Plagiarism: plagiarism (including the ripping of GFX and RS/User Ed Guides) results in a forumban from the pertinent forum as well as a one month ban the first time it happens.

* = If only posted/offended once. If posted/offended more than once, it's a permanent ban.

Users will be banned permanently for the following:

- Scamming: or any suspicious behavior similar to scamming (i.e. attempting to scam). This also includes impersonating other members, and any other similar behavior. Note: Counter-scamming isn't allowed either.
- Password Cracking: including the creation, help in creation, use, discussion, and/or distribution of crackers
- Posting infected files: keyloggers, viruses, trojans, etc...
- Account Sharing: only 1 user is allowed to use an account here at sythe.org
- Returning after a ban/Ban evading: If one of your accounts has been banned, and you return on another account, all of your accounts will be banned.

Additional Notes/Clauses:

- Staff reserve the right to ban or infract for any unconscionable act. The above rules and associated punishments only apply when the staff can reasonably judge that a user does not deserve some other, perhaps more severe form of punishment for any unconscionable act they might make on the forums.

- If your account is hacked, and the hacker uses your account to scam materials from another member, you, as the account owner, are responsible for refunding those who were scammed by the hacker in order to be unbanned. Although the refuding generally results in an unban, this is at the staff's discretion.

Shit's not in the rules bro.

Shit's not in the rules bro.

Indeed it isn't. Nice long quote.

 

[Xombi]

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

 

[Barrows]

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

 

[apocalypsefu]

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

 

[wizardzgame]

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

I think that just replacing the images within quotes with the images' direct URLs would be very helpful.

That's a great idea, disabling BBC in quotes (with the possible exception of hyperlinks) would help a lot. People shouldn't be quoting elaborately coded posts anyway. Thanks for expanding on my idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that.

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.

I think that just replacing the images within quotes with the images' direct URLs would be very helpful.

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.

 

[Nathan III]

Shit's not in the rules bro.

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

 

[kayosman]

Ok, did you read the previous post to do with iPods and iPhones. Also, it's fffffff annoying. so don't just flame my idea m'kay?

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.

^-- Good idea.
