Quoting to quote

 Quoting to quote is forum spam. It takes up unnecessary space, and makes viewing the forum on mobile devices difficult. Please stop spamming the forum with this.

 The quote option is supposed to be used when a lot of conversation is occurring, and you need to make it clear which statement , by which poster you are replying to.
 
 You can also use it if you plan to make a point based on what another poster has said, or otherwise need to draw attention to it.

 When you quote just to quote, it makes a mess of the forum, and makes viewing the forum from mobile devices ... well very unpleasant.

 Many players and staff members do view the forum from tablets, phones, and ipods. Many of us go to the most recent posts first: https://famcraft.com/index.php?action=recent
 
When we go there, and have multiple pages of quotes to struggle through before we can get to actual real posts, it can be not-so-cool.

 We have deleted posts and locked threads made up of quotes like this in the past to try to politely let everyone know that it's not a good idea to spam the forum with quotes. It has failed to work, so I will be a bit more direct-  Kindly make an effort to use the quote feature for it's intended purpose, please.
