Something That I Dont Understand....

Hum...It was well understood that when we wanted to post an artistic pic or poem, we are asked
to do it in thumbail...
So, I dont understand why some members are repeating ( somebody said......) a text, which
sometimes takes 1/4 page (and just posted before!), to express a little comment of only a few lines...
There is perhaps something to do about that.....;)

You are right. I cut a bit of your post while writing my answer and put it between brakets. :)

You make a good point messaline. People are too quick to click on reply. Another item for staff to discuss.

I suggest an automatic reduction to the message replied, only few words the begining of text ant the end words separated by dots ' You make a good ..... to discuss.' and link to the message as ' post: 59327' or '#3' in this message.
 
That may be possible..but I think only IM and Inge could program that.

I think the real problem is not a coding one. People still don't know how to take a couple of seconds to reduce the wall of text they replied to. Plus, I really hate when a person divides up a quote and retorts to each individual part, so there must be a line there.
 
you can be sure it's even more irritating to us moderators, Messaline,​
editing out unnecessary wodges of text, attachments and YouTube links from "replies"​
is tedious and time-consuming -​
the "reply" button is really only needed if you're responding to something some way back up the thread,​
and even then it's considerate to edit out everything except the words you're actually replying to.​
But hard to see how we do more than ask members to look at what's in the reply box​
and THINK 'is all that really necessary' before clicking on 'post reply'​

It's what I was asking for, but selfdiscipline is sometimes difficult to reach...​

You have a good point Messaline
As i'm a relatively new forum member:i did not know this unwritten rule.
I will be more disciplined in the future;)

It took me awhile to get the way things work, here, but I think I understand now....Sorry if I ever caused "extra" work, I know I did in my beginning.....
 
that's okay Marcie -​
just report to the Whipping Post for the generous flogging you've earned!​
