Post admin - a request when quoting posts

Post by LaurieHolden »

G'day Premiernicks,

just a bit of Bulletin Board housekeeping in the off-season. When contributing to a thread using a quote or nested quotes, these tend to burn screen real estate without necessarily adding much to the discussion.
By all means use the quote function, but simply try to quote the relevant part of the quote you are responding to.

You can always
select the part of the quote you are referring to then paste it into your message body.
You can then highlight it and select 'quote' from the menu items, that'll in turn highlight that section you are referring to.

Or simply use the ^ chevron to reference the post above.

The Rules are up there ^^^ at the top of the page. Take a look through if you haven't already.
Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Members are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting and stay on-topic to the threads as much as possible. If you have personal comments to make to another member, use email or PM. Please don't spoil the Bulletin Board for others by creating personal threads or getting off topic. This practice also creates more work for the moderators and members will receive a warning for repeated abuse of the these guidelines.
Members should resist the urge to make posts that waste board resources while adding nothing to the topic being discussed. An example of this is quoting another post and then adding only "I agree", "+1", "Good post" etc. They do nothing but clutter the board and spoil the enjoyment of others who have had to scroll down through the quoted post only to find an inanity posted at the bottom, and this applies equally to third party images, gifs etc. Members who repeatedly do this may be warned.
If there's anything else we can help with, please let us know via General Feedback in the Board Administration of our landing page or PM me direct.

Cheers...Laurie Holden
