Wolfgangg Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) A suggestion like the one I'm about to make was already shot down not long ago, but I believe it is necessary to try and talk about it once more. I propose that we make a rule making it mandatory to add a personal comment if you quote somebody. Recently, I have personally observed many examples of people abusing this feature attempting to increase their post count and by doing so, most of the time they quote already answered questions or comments. As well as the fact there is no reason to quote someone if you're trying to say the same exact thing because it was already said, just "like" the post, you don't need to repost the same thing. This is extremely annoying and regulations must be put in place to put an end to this toxic and useless behavior. Please read the entire post before you comment or vote in the poll.

The only reason a quote should need a comment is if your reacting or responding. If your +/- Supporting saying: I Agree ^^^... would be usless when that’s what quoting represents that your saying the same as the other person. Becuase of this, it’s a -Support from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, like most suggestions this isn’t a necessity. Simply a small thing that I don’t entirely care for on our forums. It doesn’t make sense to me why people would quote someone to show their support instead of just simply liking the post, because generally in the real world, when someone quotes another they are either responding or adding onto what another said, not trying to say the exact same thing that was already stated. That would look ridiculous... Edited November 22, 2018 by Wolfgangg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Force Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 +/- support I like the idea as I have seen the forums boosting that he is talking about where people just mass quote forums posts to increase their posts. That being said, it would be hard/impossible to implement properly, and I think the idea could use more development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
