It's really irritating when people are quoting 10+ posts in every post of theirs, it just goes for on pages, makes me dizzy. Why do you people, the offenders, do that? I know there is a limit on how many posts you can quote, why isn't that followed?

Another thing is when people are quoting the entire article from the opening post, why can't you just highlight the bit that you are responding too? 🥱 In the case where the opening post is an opinion, why do you have to quote it, we know you are responding to the opening post. Some even quote several pictures to write 'oh, how sexi'.

Can this stop?

I am actually fine with the quoting. I think it just less time consuming instead of finding the phrase you are responding to and copy paste it. Takes to long. You might complain , but I do not think that anyone will stop

Its a free forum , if you do not like it then dont do it.

I respect you opinion , and I will try to fulfill your request, but I wont be guaranteeing anything😉

Laziness. Cutting/editing quoted posts takes some energy and time which are better spent on fanwars. I think I-F should simply do some coding magic, like on some other forums, that automatically removes anything beyond 3 nested quotes. Some forums have it so only you end up quoting one post (you hit the quote the button and only that post shows up). If you want to quote more than 3 you'd have to do manually do it, adding the QUOTE tags and copy-pasting stuff, etc.



That is seriously annoying. Again, I-F should simply make it possible to disable the quote option from the first post.

IF should implement a automated system of not allowing more than 3 quotes. That will solve this problem.
