Now, we all know what Quoting is, right? It's basically where you, well, QUOTE what another user has said. They even have a special little button just for quoting! We've all quoted something before, right? Now, I'm not saying that quoting is a bad thing. But, if it's used the wrong way, it can be VERY annoying.Take a look at this thread. Notice anything about it? As you can see, the original post was VERY long. And, as you can see, people quoted it. LOTS of people quoted it. Scroll down the thread, and you can see tons of people quoting it. And not JUST quoting it. They were quoting the people that quoted it. Quoting the people that quoted the people that quoted it. It got VERY long, and VERY annoying.

Here's another example, in this thread. As you can see, our awesome user Omegasonic, posted a, erm, a very long post. Lots of people quoted it, which in itself was annoying. And then I even said 'hey yo my homies, lets stop quoting these insanely long messages bruh' (okay I didn't actually say that but you get the point). And you know what happened? People STILL kept quoting it.

I'm going to tell you guys something. If you are quoting the person who is directly above you, DON'T DO IT. If you are quoting a person, and you are still talking about the same topic, DON'T DO IT. Basically, the only time you should EVER quote someone, is if they said something previously, and now the conversation is completely off-topic. Otherwise, DON'T DO IT.

And, something else - if you are quoting a long message, or even a short message - You. Don't. Need. To. Quote. The. Whole. Thing. This is especially if there are multiple quotes in your quote, you can delete all the unnecessary posts! If the message is long, you can delete all the rest of it and only keep the part that you're talking about. Please, for the sake of humanity, DO NOT QUOTE THE WHOLE THING. EVER.

We all got it? Good. Actually, what I've recently started to do when I quote is split the post I'm quoting in multiple paragraphs. That way, I can look for what I specifically want to quote and erase the unnecessary stuff. This also allows others to quote shorter posts. I'll post a tutorial on how to do it tomorrow.yoxdQUOTES FTWbuttsUMADBRO?
