areaseven Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 OMFG! That's horrible! BURN HIM! BUUUUUURN HIM!H 344757[/snapback] Yeah, quoting such a large image is downright stupid, not to mention inconsiderate to those who are on a dial-up connection. The smartest thing to do in a situation like this is to quote the URL of the image instead of the image itself. At least that gives 56K people the option to not download the image if their connection is slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 All that is true. I'm just not sure why you felt that you needed to publicly embarrass JBO (who agreed with your stance on quoting, incidentally). The point about quoting images has been made. But going after individual members for one ill-advised quote seems silly to me. Maybe a PM or a polite post in the affected thread requesting that the person edit their post would be less bellicose? H P.S. I don't mind publicly embarrassing people when they clearly deserve it. But, for quoting a large image once? Seems a bit odd. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 My POV on picture quotes is A. don't quote large pics, and B. keep all the pic quoting to a single page(if it's on the same page, it doesn't take anyone's bandwidth for the extra images). 325920[/snapback] Can somebody say, "hypocrite" around here? How do you explain your quoting of Roy's Blues' image of his Motoko figures (1524 x 2032 and nearly 800KB in size) on page 4 of the "Show off your coolest non-Macross toys & models" thread, when the pic was posted on page 1? 344751[/snapback] Was on the same page for me. It was, however, admittedly stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 The issue is nested quotes. IPB already has a limitation on quotes (actually, it's a bug...). You cannot have more than 10 quotes in any given post, period. This isn't an issue of can we limit quotes via software, it's can we enforce a policy of making people clean up their posts so that they stop filling their posts with quotes. I'm guessing this is what the original poster wanted to stop: Quotes Suck! Yes No Yes... The only solution is common sense. Most quoted posts have that little tiny button in the quote box called "snapback". Instead of quote after quote after quote, you could just quote the last individual and leave the snapback button in place. Again, the issue is common sense. This really isn't something we can enforce because it is a common sense issue. If you lack common sense, then perhaps you shouldn't be posting. This isn't a mod or admin issue. It's the users themselves who are abusing things. Posting large pics (i.e. greater than 1024x768 or 800x600, depending on your resolution); posting pics directly from other sites without attaching or hosting them yourself (i.e. bandwidth stealing); quoting large pieces of text with only a small reply, etc....Unless you want the mods to clamp down on this... 330703[/snapback] Here is a perfect example. In my previous post, all I wanted to do was reply in regards to the one single sentence. In this, much more annoying reply, I quoted your entire post along with all of the quotes that you put in it only make a point about the same senetence. 330806[/snapback] Its the best I can do with this thread.

Here is an example: A guy insults you in mixed company, what do you do? The right thing to do would to just shrug it off and just take it. The wrong thing to do would be to punch him in the face, this IS tempting but you end up looking like a dick. The Agent ONE way would be to start maniacally laughing so hard that people forget the insult all together, and wonder what the hell is wrong with you, then get really close to the guy and keep the crazy laugh up. Just when he is wondering what the hell you are going to do, lick his forehead, once he reels back in horror, tell him you fuct his girlfriend in the ass (he doesn't even need to have a girlfriend for this to work).
