My apologies if this has been raised before. As a newbie to the forum, I am acutely aware that posting a comment that is critical of established members will be seen by some as pretentious or downright rude. It is not my intention to upset anyone, but sometimes a new viewpoint can prove useful.
My comment concerns the overuse and frankly ridiculous use of the quote facility. I've been trying to read historical threads to get a feel for the forum and to avoid asking unnecessary questions. However, the overuse of quotes has been driving me nuts, and makes reading some threads a laborious trial. There are many 10 page threads that could be 2 pages without all the quotes. Some selective quotes are necessary and help with the flow and clarity of a thread but the overall majority are superfluous.
A prime example is the excellent assessment of the Crawley game by syevek192 'At least we get another chance but should have won'. His long post is interesting and informative, but did the first two responders really need to quote his entire post simply to make a one line comment?
Unnecessary quotes should be removed by mods/admin. I am a member of another, non-football related forum which suffered from the same problem. Following action by mods, members soon got the hang of it and the forum improved 100%.
Hopefully, this post will be accepted in the spirit that is intended and not seen as a newbie whinge. You can quote me on that.
Best wishes,
Terry

Hello trojandog, Predictably you had a lot of sarcastic replies so I thought it only fair to afford you a proper response. Personally I've not really found over use of quotes a problem, but then I haven't really ever read an old thread back later as I'm normally up to date with them. The use of the quote feature is often quite helpful at a time when a thread is popular or moving quickly as without it some posts make no sense because the thread moves too fast. It's also helpful in particular threads if frank views are being exchanged because people may be reacting to a specific comment or they may wish to avoid confusion with things other people have said. Finally, the mod team are already busy spending every spare moment counting all the cash we are raking in from the running of this place and moving GGMIs threads. It's all about priorities.....  |
