Pretty sure it has to do with large quote trees that have gotten out of hand and quoting the post of the person who posted before you.

In the Forum Rules. Buried in the depths of Rule 3 (but who actually reads Forum Rules anyway?). It's a peculiarity of this forum that I've never seen elsewhere, but I assume that one of the mods had a bad experience when a quote tree fell over in high winds and crushed their car. Anyway, their gaff, their rules.

I have 20k+ posts on an internet message board, you might be on to something there. :P

The people who appreciate not being ban-hammered. :P

Anyway, I actually did not invent that rule. I approve of it, though. :ymdevil:

I was just reading over some of the earlier comics and I have no idea how I managed to miss the massive onslaught of My Little Pony references the first time around. It really made me smile when I saw them all.

Yeah, you are not supposed to quote the thread that directly precedes yours. The reason I was given is that it increases the burden on the servers. 8-|
PLEASE NOTE: I have sig display off in my preferences, so please don't assume that I can read yours. Thank you.

You have to treat the hamster driven servers with TLC, but if you do, they can last a good long time.

@Don: The three most common filings for bankruptcy in the US are designated by the chapter of the federal code in which they are described.
Chapter 7: Complete discharge of debts (with certain exclusions) also involves complete liquidation of assets.
Chapter 13: Partial discharge of debts (again with exclusions) - the debtor agrees to pay a certain amount per month for up to five years before being granted discharge.
Chapter 11: Allows restructuring of debt. This is usually for corporations suffering a rough patch they think they can pull out of. The court and the creditors have to agree to the restructuring plan, and this usually gives creditors a say in how the business is run for a time.

Eh, it's a stupid rule. Sometimes, it's appropriate to ask people not to make unnecessary quotes.

However, when somebody posts a 17,000 word hate essay ranting about how much they hate things like puppies, minorities, democracy, and getting punched in the nose, and you quote one sentence about the nose punching and leave a reply of four words (like, "I agree with this."), then somebody removing the quote makes you look like a terrible person.

That is entirely allowed, and I do not remove such quotes. /:)
