Dear Mods, could you put in place some kind of report system for excessive pyramid building (wherein you would edit out the bullshit, rather than deleting the post itself)?

I think I'm getting carpal tunnel scrolling through some of the longer debates in R&P.  

Thanks awfully for reading.

If this rule is put in place I shall leave, or throw a fit, or just sit in the corner and write poetry and cry.

Or move to Lethoso and grow pecan trees.

Or start collecting stuffed animals.

Or start a new clothing line.

I'm willing to do 5pts per a quote. Considering we have five points for non-contribution. Why not five hehe.

2nd, or 3rded which ever one I'm in line for.

Time to exercise my editing button.

LW shouldn't allow this to happen. An FAQ wont work because no one will read it. LW should just know to only quote the last post.

That is a better idea to avoid the quote pyramids. Coding it shouldn't be that difficult for david to do.

THen the SMARTER members can figure out how to add the quoted content they need. The problem is that LiveWire isn't setting up the post for all the lazy people.
whoisabs Posted at 5:24 pm on Aug. 21, 2008
I know other forums that do that, but sometimes it is required to quote more than that.

Still support b& for these faggots though.

  Sure im down for that


  *sigh*


 

 Whats the sigh about? this is pretty important, it needs to happen on LW


I completely agree.


I don't see the reason to add another category for something so minor; we have enough reporting categories as it is. We would be better off getting a quote system similar to standard BBCode which better facilitates quote management. I can't find the right reporting categories in that enormous list as it is.


true, true.

I see your point, but the problem is when you report a post it is generally deleted, which would be rather counter-productive in this case.
