Empty quoting on forums: Do you find it annoying?

Personally I find it irritating and it annoys me when I see people do it. On another forum I frequent, its a suspend/bannable offence and I think that's a marvelous idea. It's just a waste of space and pads out threads unnecessarily.

If you don't know what I'm referring to, here's an example...

I don't mind it, it simply means "I agree", and sometimes it's interesting to know another member's opinion on a certain subject.

What irritates me is when someone quotes the ENTIRE body of text when they're one of the first posters, or includes huge images in their quotes

lol how did I know someone was gonna do that

I find it irritating when people quote the post directly above their own, unless it is a particularly long and wide-ranging one with a specific portion quoted.

OH ITS YOU. YOU EPIC FAIL AND YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHY

I don't think that's so bad, because 9/10 times by the time you've finished typing your reply, a post or two would've appeared after the one you've quoted.

/edit: point demonstrated exactly

Doesn't bother me at all. I think it is rather petty to be bothered by something that is done for a reason like that.

N***

Heh, why is Q.F.T. asterisked?

what

I know what you mean but I see it in nearly every thread and it doesn't really add anything useful to the thread in question :/

Would you feel better about it if they included the words 'I agree' in their post?

And when people don't quote properly! ...

I find it more annoying when people reply with sarcasm to a valid point, or patronise.

doesn't bother me, full size picture quotes do

same

lol, there's a thin line between "being ironic" and "being a knob". I believe *just maybe* some people may have crossed it

I think it's because the policy-makers want people to use English in the OcUK forums.
