Two piecies of pyramid quotes added into the collection:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49735282
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49760423
Both of them are Senior Members, the first pyramid quote is extremely annoying, that should be avoided.

Once again, such pyramid post is really hard to catch and follow flows of ideas and discussion.

Sure.
It is helpful for you first, then might be helpful for others.
Let's spread it out. Thank you.
And i will be saving this thread for future use or to share in other post so many people here may learn how to make clean posting

You are always welcome.
I felt annoying, not headache with pyramid quotes.
Over quoting is really a disgusting issue. When you read a important thread, you will get headache for over quoting. Some older high ranked profile also do the same. I just get bored with it. Thank you for writing this.

Personally, I thought that this information should have been known for a lot of users who participated in this forum (or other SMF-based forums). Let's just hope that they won't be lazy again to do your tips.

And IMHO, this should be moved to Beginner and Helps, isn't it?
Right this information must be known in every sides of forum to prevent large space in quoting,i will personally take this inconsideration since I mostly quoting the post completely

And i will be saving this thread for future use or to share in other post so many people here may learn how to make clean posting

This tip is not just for newbies but also for some old timers here. I can see some of the informative thread here with a lot of image or long paragraph getting quoted whole just to comment some one liner message.
most of over pyramid-quoted guys are spambies or bounty hunters.
They only need postcounts for their works, and rewards.
They will not change their posting style, I believe.
What I want to change is real users, who have not known the tips or too lazy to do this with very simple steps.
Avoiding pyramid quotes is better for all, saving more time and more healthy for fingers.

Around one month after my last post in the topic.
Today, I found the pyramid-quoted post, and would like to share it here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49360229
You can see how annoying it is, and such annoying post also hard to follow flow of ideas and get what the post's author wanted to discuss (which post the author wanted to discuss with, I meant).

Great attitude!
Enjoy it, and change the way you compose your threads, especially threads with quotations inside.
Please spend a couple of minutes to avoid pyramid quotes and fingers-hurts to your readers.

During my time I spent on other altcoin ANN topics in the forum, which have usually been perfect places for shitposters to show their shits, I have tried and gonna keep trying to give them my recommendations, tutorials on how to avoid pyramid quotes (over-quotes in other words).
Hope that some of them might change their composing approach.
1) My recommendations for shit-posters in Light Pay ANN topic
2) Other recommendations on how to avoid pyramid quote and how to see original threads via quoted ones
...

Notes: I will keep updating the thread with all my works.

Hey guess, how can we avoid over quoting...  i can't do this becs i don't know how to do it i am a newbie i can't take risk..
Hey noob,
You simply commented to increase your postcount, didn't you?
The topic is for tutorials on avoiding over-quoting, then you came and commented like this.
Only create new threads when you have something meaningful to write, something helpful to discuss; don't create new threads only to rise your postcounts, please.

Certainly, it will be . It is evident from the fact that no newbie has posted a comment here so far. In fact, I hardly see a newbie making a post in meta (unless we count those on crying about merits).
I really think that this topic is useful for all ranks of the forum members.
Lots of higher ranked members over quote.

Highly appreciate your one merit point, Don Pedro Dinero.
I have moved my topic to the Beginners & help board, which is more appropriate place for my topic.
I thought about creating a similar article recently and I've merited you. Wouldn't it be better placed on the newbies beginners and help board?

Thanks for all of your suggestions, everyone.
I will keep editing my topic and make it better. For now, I believe it has become better a little bit than the original one.
Hope it will help as more newbies (of course, higher-ranked lazy members too) as possible.
I believe it can make several effects on the ways newbies quote threads, not only in serious boards, but also in altcoins boards.
This is one of the most effective, easiest way to keep the forum clean of shit-quoted show.
