|

I'd like to propose a new rule
"Members are encouraged to use the quote feature so their posts can be in the context of the previous comment/question. However members must edit the quoted text to remove the unnecessary portions from the previous quote. Images must also be removed from the quote"
How does this sound?
PS: I've set up a poll for 10 days, to solicit inputs on this question. The responses from the poll will be taken into account when the mods decide on finalizing the rule. |

Agreed. Trimming quoted text certainly helps the site look better.

OK - as 10 days have passed and everyone is in favor of this proposal, I will go ahead and add it to the rules.
Anyone still continuing to quote lots of irrelevant stuff will be warned once and posts deleted second time onwards. |
