Stop them.

I hate opening the last page of a thread and having to scroll and scroll and scroll past long quotes.

Users need to make an effort to eliminate them when replying or the quote system needs to be updated to automatically remove posts previous posts.

yea, I hate those aswell and always make sure it's not getting out of hand in the discussions I have

btw, I think it's sad that people with 10k-20k+ posts still often don't give a shit and go on piling up on the quote size



Fully agree on this one, A: For now people need to cut excessive quoting, it's not hard to html old ones out.

And B: Site really needs it's quoting system updated, add a single quote button, and rename the current one "multi-quote" and have it put "older" quotes in collapsed (But expendable) spoiler tags.



I cut them down but.. YAWN, not thread worthy



You'll never stop the constant watering of these Quote Trees, sadly.

you used to be the main culprit, but have cut down when you come back. Is that why you are defending this practice?

I don't think I've ever gone over 3 quotes... if I have, I am gravely sorry.

Just throwing this in here but it is moderatable when the thread trees get ridiculous. .


Can I have a definition for rediculous?

4 posts in the quote? 5 posts?



                            

I've seen other websites where quotes within quotes are automatically hidden in new posts. Would be cool if VGC did that.



Yeah, I agree. Always try to cut it down for a maximum of 4 or so posts, but even then I often cut out a load of unimportant stuff.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I would love a multiquote button! I hate trying to pile up multi posts into one. I am horrible at it, and not everyone gets the notification.

LETS DO IT!  :D
