| I think you can make it as though the user said anything. say if ...... said ' hello I'm a nice person' I can edit it to say 'hello I hate puppies and cats' just thought someone might use this to the wrong effect. This would be okay in 1-3 page forums; but in long ones it could start an argument. | 2010-04-21 19:56:00 Author: flamingemu  Posts: 1872 |
| I don't think you can do anything about this. Quoting system has been around since forever and no one has used it in an inappropriate way so I think it'll be fine. | 2010-04-21 20:01:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino  Posts: 5250 |

| hello I hate puppies and cats How could you possibly hate puppies and cats? They're so cute! You evil person!  See, technically, I didn't edit your quote... Yes, but you smell, and I hate everyone, and I think I should be banned... ok, maybe I edited that one... | 2010-04-21 20:31:00 Author: Doopz  Posts: 5592 |

| I think we should stop changing people's quotes now. Also, Doopz479 rules. Agreed.  | 2010-04-21 20:45:00 Author: Doopz Posts: 5592 |

| I have never even seen someone do this before so =/ | 2010-04-21 20:53:00 Author: Snrm  Posts: 6419 |
| I don't really see it as much of an issue. Somebody could just as easily say "I was talking to JimJimson on MSN and he said he hated LBP!" Even if we wanted to, it would be something vBulletin would have to do and would be a lot of effort on their part for such a minor change. | 2010-04-21 20:54:00 Author: Killian  Posts: 2575 |
Even after demodshipization, the x-mods are still looking out for the site  | 2010-04-22 02:12:00 Author: Incinerator22  Posts: 3251 |
| This would be okay in 1-3 page forums; but in long ones it could start an argument. Perhaps, but bear in mind there's a reference link at the top of the quote box which looks like this: http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/LBPC-Style/buttons/viewpost-right.png Clicking that will take you to the post from which the quote was taken, which gives you the option to compare the quoted text with the original text. | 2010-04-22 11:06:00 Author: Aya042  Posts: 2870 |

True - but this is easy enough to remove. But I am just playing devil's advocate here... I don't really feel the quote system needs an overhaul. The source is still there even if your quote doesn't reference it. The caveat to this however is that the source post can be edited after it was quoted. But as mentioned before, we have seldom seen any misuse of the quoting. And really, why would you? You will only be called out on it by the OP or a Mod, and then likely lose rep for it. | 2010-04-22 13:26:00 Author: v0rtex  Posts: 1878 |

That just takes you to the first post in the thread. It doesn't help in threads with 20 or so pages... | 2010-04-22 16:44:00 Author: Doopz Posts: 5592 |
| That just takes you to the first post in the thread. Hmm. Shouldn't do, as it has the post ID in the link, but there seems to be a bug in the forum software incorrectly linking to showthread.php instead of showpost.php. I'll see if I can fix that. | 2010-04-22 18:38:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |
| Oh great job flamingemu... No one had thought about really doing it, now you placed in their minds... >_> If anything of the sort ever hapens i'm going after YOU! | 2010-04-30 10:09:00 Author: Silverleon  Posts: 6707 |
