To Multiquote or Not to Multiquote

[French Quarter]

Hi there,

I have a question that has been bothering me for a very long time.

This is the only message board where I see long-term members opt for multiple consecutive replies instead of making use of the multi-quote tool. It has been ingrained in me to multi-quotes because people would get annoyed with you on these other boards and usually the only people who didn't use it were newbies.

It really doesn't matter to me one way or the other but what is the right thing to do on wdwmagic? Or should I say, what would admin prefer us to do?

It really doesn't matter. Use whichever method you think conveys what you are trying to say the best.

The wall of related posts is definitely annoying. It does seem though that at other sites it is so disliked because post count is considered so important as it is a big part of status in the community.

That makes sense, Lazyboy. Thank you for the clarification, Wdwmagic. Maybe I'll try the other way of replying and see which I like better.

if different conversations... different posts. Simple enough.

The longer the post, the less who will read it.

I've switched to not using multiquote, by the way. I finally feel like I fit in.
