    Okay lets make that group. Then we can make a group for people who complain about things we can't control and put YOU in it.

    So...we've had suggestions for Kane in no new threads for me, Kane in people who complain about things we can't control and he's currently in no sig for me.

    I demand that Kane be put into Eizon Leaders!

    EDIT: actually put him in admins. He'd probably ban me but EoFF could do with some crazy action for once.

    I agree with you that EoEO should have more than just a quote, but the members that make the quote are maybe someone who are not very good with expressing themselves on the particular topic and at the same time want the thread starter to know that they are still supporting them in whatever small way that they can.

    Would it be a problem if they simply typed, 'I agree with Person X' instead? That seems just as bad to me, since they're not adding anything to the discussion, and they also waste the reader's time by having them re-read Person X's post.

    What I mean to say is, is the problem that people aren't adding to the topic, or merely the way that they do so (with a lone quote) which is bothering you?

    A quote and "I agree with X" wouldn't be so bad, if it was somewhere where someone's gathering opinions, just because it's not as lazy. You can't be lazy on the internet. It's not right.

    Quoting someone who said what you would've said without having to just repeat them is convenient tho.

    If someone already said it, why do you need to say it? Except for certain mod admin thingys, and if someone's ever so interested in what everyone's favorite icecream is.
    And it's even more convenient to say "Oh, well that guy said what I was going to say anyway, I can't really add anything in here so I guess I won't post." Well not outloud. >_>

    I don't see why it bothers you so much, especially if it's done in General Chat. So what? People are lazy for not typing their own sentence? True, but it seem as if you are upset becauce you've already read that statement?! Oh Noes! Read it again and don't be lazy?

    For the most part, when I've seen it done in EoEo or in the World Events threads people are quoting others to directly debate or point out the things they agree with and expand upon that point.

    That's fine. A post that consists EXCLUSIVELY of a quote is a pain in the hoo-has.
