    New Trend: People not quoting others to "prevent" banning.

    So yeah, rather than reply with quote, the new cool thing to do is to reply to people without quoting them so that when posting something very nice about them, they don't know if it was directed at them or not.

    As threads get longer, those that could get offended by a reply, while they might feel an answer was directed at them, they can't prove it, unless it was really nasty or really obvious.

    so...what do you think?


    ps: if you quote me or someone else, you lose the game.

    there is no pre~requisite to being banned. if you break the forum rules regardless of quoting someone or not, it is still breaking the rules and can be actioned on.

    Thats just so retarded...

    But yeah, people are lacking backbones, for the fear of losing what... their post count? If you are afraid to speak your mind and counter a post.... should just shut up and color.
    No man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions.

    I think I've earned enough bans and infractions to suggest that this doesn't work as you might think OP

    If only that's how it worked. Too bad insulting anyone on the forums is against the rules and doesn't require a report from the person insulted.

    Doesn't even require a report, period.

    I think not posting inflammatory things works the best. I think I've only ever been infracted for my signature being too large.

    I know that feeling.

    I got an infraction that won't even show its source.

    It just says "Private".

    I quote people all the time and I've not been banned yet, I'm kind of an ass too. Not sure if this works or not.
