However, appropriate posting isn't just limited to abstention from trolling and flaming. There has also been an ever-increasing number of spam/low quality posts and threads which are a negative force in the community. Not every thread will be a gem, but when you have quote trees which go on for 15+ posts with little to nothing being discussed and every other thread devolving to pointless discourse, it detracts from the overall quality of discussion.

Would be brilliant for the forums if a feature was added where if you quote a post, you literally only quote that post. Not the other 4/5+ before it.

 

Well, I disagree, sometimes it's good to be able to post 2 quotes (like this one), as it adds some backround to the point you are making. However, I do agree that some people not only doesn't know how to quote but kill threads with annoying quote trees.

As a very personal observation, I think that the point system is flawed. Some people just post for the sake of posting, with no content whatsoever. Additionally there are some threads that are designed to just get hits and posts. Recently I saw PSV will outsell the 3DS, and when you read the OP there weren't any  objective reason to support that statement, then, lots chaos with replies based on fanboysm rather than arguments.
