Topic: Merits for posters not making redundant quotes. - page 2. (Read 568 times)
I forgot about the topic in the original post. Apologies, and I gave you a couple of merits. I opened the thread because I wanted to expand on the topic, but I became distracted by the replies.
Well what an honor for you to have used my topic, at least something good came out of it 
In the future it would be better to review the message as well, because a lot of 1 line shit posters do just drop whatever they can on the board without quoting anything.
I agree with that. In this instance I wanted to make a point, so I thought it would be stronger if I awarded everybody who hadn't quoted. I guess a couple of them just got lucky.
Another lesson learnt, I had no idea whatsoever that quoting an OP could be an eyesore, but I have seen some threads where the content is entirely different from the title and not to seem like an idiot with a reply that's off topic with the title if already the thread is more than a page, what should be done in this regard ?
Bounty managers should also discourage their hunters from using it as it just fills profiles with pyramids.
This has nothing to do with bounty managers,please give those guys a break This is simply down to bad posting behaviour,and it's down to the individual/users ineptitude
I find it weird blaming someone else for anothers posting behaviour,take a look at this thread

None of them work for the so called bounty programs
I mean it depends on what kind of thread you are responding to if someone is making allegations against you. I would certainly quote those responses for future references. But If I am responding to a thread in the press section, It makes sense to not quote the whole response. A simple @username should do the trick but I think its more of a subconscious thing. Plus if you ask me "subjective" quoting does make sense. It becomes clear to what part of the response you are replying to.
P.S Do you have any references for how legendaries are using redundant quotes?

In my opinion that would be case to case basis. There are short replies that could be all qouted including the previous qouted post. There could be some benefit of doing it especially if the discussion is active. Showing previous reply would helpful also to get to know the idea on the expressions being made the poster and the post being replied.
However, I agree with OP that qouting the whole post would not be appropriate if the reply is only specific to a certain sentence. I hate to read that kind of post and in most cases I skipped reading on it.

Yeb i agree and i often do that like this one
But as we know we can write this 1000 Times and the most new Users dosnt get it !

Nice idea. I was lost at first assuming you started the thread, then the morning fog cleared and it made sense.
Definitely a couple of posts that had 0 content value, but none of them received any added benefits by receiving that merit. On that note I don't disagree with you awarding them merit for creating a post that had "formatting" quality lets say.
In the future it would be better to review the message as well, because a lot of 1 line shit posters do just drop whatever they can on the board without quoting anything. They treat page 55 the same as page 1. I've used this topic I created in the past, I just drop it wherever I see someone poorly formatting a post IMO.

I am in support of users being discouraged from quoting the entire text of the OP or some other commenter when replying.
This is a way I think it should be done, to signify you are quoting the entire text.
If not, then you select the portion you intend to reply too.
But it is assumed you're replying to the OP if you don't quote.
Bounty managers should also discourage their hunters from using it as it just fills profiles with pyramids.

Maybe I should post a link to that thread on the beginners' board.
I wonder if I'll get any quotes after my awards.

Quoting the entire OP is rather redundant,especially when the topic is still in the First page of its comments..
Quoting can only be acceptable that way, when probably you want to cut out a particular part of the thread,and reply to a different part of it..
Most times as most knowledgeable members do,is to clear the entire thread,leaving characters such as "< >","snip" or leaving it totally blank
That makes the thread neat,much shorter and less of an eye sore

Oh that's been a long standing pet peeve of mine, I really hate it when people quote the entire OP.
Made a post about it here a while back: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/small-rant-about-people-quoting-entire-op-3092633
Even worse when the OP contains big images

In my capacity as the wild cannon merit source. I've just awarded a single merit to every poster following my quoting comment, and who has not included a redundant quote ( in my opinion). This is the thread that I used for this experiment - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/we-are-from-all-around-the-world-5040212.
I did this without considering the content of the post, but in future I will take that into account.
I'm reaally fed up with these stupid repeated quotes, and in some cases it is being dine by legendaries, who really ought to know better.
