Quoting a 4000 line post, or one with a dozen pictures, just to follow it up with a "+1"!

Many times people will quote a long post in case the original gets edited. You can catch people saying some of the craziest things.

Never thought of that. Thanks Ansley.

Wasn't suggesting cut-n-paste, just please edit out the unnecessary stuff, or just quick-post if you're impatient.
I primarily use a tablet and it can be hell scrolling down 15 inches worth of text.

First World Problems. Great thread.

I almost quoted JohnnyCap just so I could +1 the thread.....

See! Sometimes I can be a real adult! Yay!

Excuse me now, I have to go watch Toy Story 3.

this is why eccie needs a neg/rep system.

[SA Angel]

As a former mod of a board that used a rep system.....

Rep systems suck. They cause hurt feelings and drama. In less than a month, the resident troll and his friends will start seeking negative rep as a way to show others that the rep system is broken. The other group of trolls will try to accrue as much rep as possible to "bully" the newbies. Also, "GIVE ME REP PLZZZZZ" posts run rampant and there will literally be +rep circle jerk threads. Which the mods will have to spend time dealing with because a lurker's feelings got hurt that they didn't think of it first. The sandbox on national and local boards will become a cesspool of recycled memes in hopes that someone hasn't ever read reddit and will give the poster +rep. Not to mention the inevitable flame war that occurs when someone decides to -rep the resident special princess/prince of the board.

Sorry to go off-topic, but as boisterous as this board is I just don't think a rep system would work out well.

"+1" posts are really only useful for non-graphical forums like email lists and Usenet.
Of course they do work as a quick way to post that ad that's in your sig if you're a provider (and perhaps skirt the rules).

i disagree. it all comes out in the wash. at least a rep system gives you a quick and private way to communicate your thoughts.

We value your opinion and appreciate the lessons on what our +1's are actually good for.....I love to learn!

And thank you kind sir for pointing out that providers might perhaps skirt rules and use this advertising board as a means to advertise in whatever way they might or not. you picked up on that rather quickly! A+

As for all ya'll +1 offenders.....shame on you! He's got a freakin' tablet and ya'll are causing him to scroll....let's cut him some slack, will ya please?

Thank you OP for posting such a thought provoking thread.....I always appreciate the chance to advertise......
