Ladies and gentlemen.

I, Bernadictus, hereby ask you to carefully read the following:

Stop building Pyramids! They are so 3000 B.C.!
Pyramids? Aren't those the things the Egyptians build? Yes, but I'm talking about forum pyramids.

This phenomenon is basicly stacking quote upon quote, and can cause a 1 line post to grow to a 7 pages tall pyramid. Effect: you have to scrolls through 30 centuries worth of pyramid/quote stacking to reach any usefull information. If there is any beyond the point where Pyramids start growing.

Like the Pharao's, a pyramid is the end off the line for a thread!

Annoying isn't it? Then stop it already!

And second, stop typing vertical, again with the same reason as above. Not all people have a mouse with a scroll-wheel and those people have the most difficult time reaching the usefull information.

Thank you for your spare time, and all the scrolling effort to read this.
If you strained any muscle due to the massive ammount of scrolling, don't bother sending me the medical bill.

It saves the people who don't have scroll-wheels one line to scroll.

You could add something obvious like "Agreed" "I Agree" but most people should get the idea when you just quote him.

This is a serious topic.

The next person to start a quote pyramid, or quote quotes of nothingness, will be banned. Simple as that!

The only problem I have is when someone quotes a REALLY long post, and says something retarded like "QFT" or "Agreed." At least trim the post your quoting...Nubbins.

We should do things on a three strikes system. An admin can place a strike against your name (Would show up under your name, only you and an admin can see your strikes) Once you hit three, you get the ban stick in the face. (Three days) If you come back get three day banned again. You start out with two strikes. Third ban = Perma ban.

We already have a "mod history" tool for every user. Anytime we do an action against someone like closing their thread, deleting their posts, banning them and stuff...it's all logged. Usually we check out the mod history of a user when the user has done something wrong. If they have a long history, it's probably banning time.
