Forum Quote Facility Abuse. Please Desist.

Help out your hard-pressed Mod team here people.

The ‘quote’ facility is very useful when you are referring to something a long way back in the thread or want to pick out a particular point to answer. Other than that duplicating an entire post directly above breaks up the flow of the thread and makes it harder and slower to read.

The Webmaster has changed the CoC temporarily to reflect the wish that the quote button isn’t used without thinking.

It can be disabled in the forum software, but we’d all rather it wasn’t so, before you hit the quote button

1) If it is the post directly above yours, just don’t do it.

2) If the quote contains one or more images – remove them unless there is a very good reason for keeping them

3) If it is a humungous long quote and you are only answering one part of it please edit the quote so that only the bit you are responding to is repeated.

Thanks for that
