Is it actually against the rules to quote someone higher up in a thread, and do you get penalized for it? I’ve been hanging out in the mobile tech and telephon…

Give me a break, amateur. 😛

I did the best I could, and honestly, I expect some credit since I actually put effort into this.🙂

Oh boy... I'm just going to stay out of this one.😁

Sarah Morales90 said:Oh... I think I'll just pass on commenting this one... 😁

😂

Look, I'm sorry, but we just see things differently... 😬

Seriously though... I don't see why it's such a big deal to skip the quote when a thread is pretty quiet. You can't exactly predict when someone might fly in with a heated response while you're typing. You already know exactly who you're talking to anyway... 🙂 And if it actually comes to that, well, heavens... there’s a reason the "edit" button exists...😍Just put the other person's text in a quote and you'll be all set... peace in Canada... 😛😛

Or, if you really want to be analytical about it and break up the post above into several different quotes... fine. Honestly, whatever works for you... 😂

Seriously, what is up with this pink font? Look, you might be a great writer and your content could be super interesting, but whenever I see this crazy color, my eyes just glaze over. It makes trying to actually read your posts feel like a total waste of time... 😢

Don't read this. Just close your eyes and skip it... 😬 ITD 😵

I’m keeping a close eye on this brighttinker48...
really closely.
but honestly, when I see CDO (which is just like OCD, but with the letters actually in alphabetical order, where they belong) being practiced... I get hives, an itch, and a sudden urge to commit a crime.
🤣
I mean, come ON!!
if you guys are going to moderate and maintain clarity in the thread, maybe just make her exempt from the rules.
Look, it's technically a violation to quote someone who posted directly above you... well, I don't exactly have a crystal ball to know if someone is going to jump in while I'm typing, and I rarely have the time to edit and double-check if my post ended up in the right sequence or if someone cut me off.

I might be a saint according to my horoscope, but man, things like this really make my vision go dark. ☕ 🤣

And since we're talking about Tapatalk, my much bigger issue is that it shows deleted posts and posts with attachments without any kind of indicator at all. ☕
If we're going to pick on Tapatalk...

Seriously, are you trying to scratch our eyeballs out? 😁
Maybe you've just been staring at the screen way too long. 😬

seriously.

😍 right back at you, even if you're tearing me apart 😁

if you guys are gonna moderate and insist on keeping things organized like this, then make exceptions for her.
look, quoting someone directly above your own post is technically a violation... but hey, I don't have a crystal ball to know if someone's gonna jump in while I'm typing, and I rarely have the time to go back and edit just to check if my post ended up being out of order because someone else cut in.

Nah, that's my point—this happens on MIT
about once every billion times. 😁
And it's not like a "violation" where you get slapped with a strike immediately—you'll get one after roughly 946,384,168 warnings, if you even get one at all...

Emily Fowler52 said:and since we're talking about Tapatalk, my much bigger issue is how it shows deleted posts and posts with strikes without any actual indication ☕
if we're really going to bash Tapatalk...

Take it up with Tapatalk
😛
