Discourage quoting the OP
In a couple of forum posts, I've seen people quote the entire OP (original post) and it's very annoying. If you're making a post, (and don't quote someone) you're basically already quoting th OP, so there's no need to do that.
Edit: I forgot to mention that if you're just quoting a part of the OP then that's fine, because you're specifying what part you're talking about.
Edit2: Are y'all just quoting the OP to annoy me? XD

Discourage quoting the OP
It's already discouraged for long OPs, as seen by mods snipping out said OP quotes In a couple of forum posts, I've seen people quote the entire OP (original post) and it's very annoying. If you're making a post, (and don't quote someone) you're basically already quoting th OP, so there's no need to do that.

I agree but however if its pretty small quote then its okay in my opinion. In a couple of forum posts, I've seen people quote the entire OP (original post) and it's very annoying.

Discourage quoting the OP
(by posting here you are obligated to quote the entire OP) In a couple of forum posts, I've seen people quote the entire OP (original post) and it's very annoying. If you're making a post, (and don't quote someone) you're basically already quoting th OP, so there's no need to do that.
I agree, tired of people doing it and clogging up like an entire page by quoting the OP, even if they could get their point across by only grabbing a few sentences.

Misconceptions about the Scratch Room
* Low floor: It should be easy to climb in and get started with Scratch - even for Scratchers who have no experience programming. - This does NOT mean complex things shouldn't be added. Making the ceiling higher or the walls wider doesn't make the floor harder to get on.
* Wide walls: Scratchers should be able to make all kinds of things with Scratch - not just animations and games, but news programs, science experiments, things we can't even imagine. - Wide walls means that some things that may be unconventional or odd or “useless” at first glance may still be worthwhile to add, because some people may find them useful for making new unique things.
* High Ceiling: Even though it's easy for someone who is new to programming to get started with Scratch, it should still be possible to make complex stuff. - Although the floor is there, many forumers just look up at the ceiling rather than thinking about the floor. They say “this would be too complicated, new Scratchers wouldn't understand it” without considering the fact that it can be worked up to with the handy floor we have.

Discourage quoting the OP
Why is it annoying? I can see the problem if the OP is very long — in which case that is already not allowed and should be reported — but if the OP is short then there is no problem. (I've seen a few Scratchers complain about quoting even short OPs, but this was never a rule enforced by the Scratch Team in any capacity. I don't think it needs to be discouraged.) In a couple of forum posts, I've seen people quote the entire OP (original post) and it's very annoying.

I also get annoyed by this but, I do not think it's that bad. Making an entire sticky or annoucment about it (on the forums) just, isn't necessary.

“it's very annoying” Isn't much of a reason, am I wrong that not everybody is annoyed by it?

I really don't mind it, unless there is a huge op with a lot of images. Quoting an op like this one or with a little more text wouldn't bother me at all by itself. am I wrong that not everybody is annoyed by it?

There are many small mistakes that newer forumers make. Most people would eventually figure out what they don't need to do. In a couple of forum posts, I've seen people quote the entire OP (original post) and it's very annoying.

Discourage quoting long OPs.
But, I do think it's annoying sometimes, makes me rage inside my heart. But, once people realise that they shouldn't, and they become a better forumer.
And I do think this would advance the process, at least a little bit.

there isn't really anything wrong with quoting the OP. also, I've been seeing many “discourage ____” what does that mean to this specific suggestion and how would it be done?

I would definitely agree with that. Although a short quote of the OP is quick to scroll through, an extremely long quote takes Yeah, maybe:forever to scroll through. Also, adding on to yours, how about:

forever to scroll through. Also, adding on to yours, how about:Something worth noting is that, due to the third line of text and the big text, your post is longer than the OP's (pre-edited) post. If I should not quote the OP, does that mean I should not be quoting other Scratchers? I would definitely agree with that. Although a short quote of the OP is quick to scroll through, an extremely long quote takes
and posts that are just a quote of the OP.
With regards to your edit on “quoting a part of the OP,” is what I've done here acceptable? You see, I quoted your entire non-edited version except for the period at the end of your sentence. This is technically considered “part of the OP.” The part that I am referring to when I am quoting you is your entire (pre-edited) post. In a couple of forum posts, I've seen people quote the entire OP (original post) and it's very annoying. If you're making a post, (and don't quote someone) you're basically already quoting th OP, so there's no need to do that
