Is the old /q/ thread about quotelinking the OP archived? I would rewrite what stayed on my mind in the worst case, but it would be useful for some of the newer users who don't seem to get it

>Is the old /q/ thread about quotelinking the OP archived?
Dunno, but the gist of it is that by clicking [Reply] on a post, you're already replying to that post (the OP) or the thread in general by default. The entire point of quotelinks was to make it clearer when a reply was directed towards something other than those

Quotelinking OP is entirely redundant and teh st00pid, but's its not like people never quotelinked the OP in the past - it's just that it became significantly more commonplace (and in fact, the norm) since the (You) feature became widely adopted around 2013

This lead to everyone suddenly feeling obliged to quotelink fucking everything, and even going so far as to intentionally break their quotelinks to send a "fuck you" to whoever they're repling to - this is because (You)s are apparently like crack to these n00bs, and the denial of the (You) is somehow considered a punishment... how far things have fallen dark

If it's ambiguous whether a reply is supposed to be a reply to the OP specifically or to the current conversation in the thread, then I feel that disambiguating this is justification enough for quotelinking the OP.

quotelinking OP is fine and makes it unambiguous what you're replying to, especially if you're replying to multiple posts
we don't even have (You)s here (thank god) so all the gay shit >>61384 references from 4chan is irrelevant on Heyuri

it genuinely doesn't matter without (You)s being a thing

I made this thread... Since then I might have caused creation of a phagget policing users over every single OP quotelink, but my opinion hasn't changed xd

>quotelinking OP is fine and makes it unambiguous what you're replying to, especially if you're replying to multiple posts
It's very rarely ambiguous, and if you have to quote multiple people your opinion is more important than who you're replying to anyways

honestly, I guess I'll just finish with this: caring about the structure of a post more than the contents is pure faggotry
kinda like that bitching you'd see on 4chan about "reddit spacing"

u don't get to maek the last post!!1

But ur right, it's one of the smaller worries for sure. And never has been that much of a problem on Heyuri anyways, neither now.

Now I hope we won't have much more years-old discussions necromanced to page 0 sweat2

I'm used to stuff getting bumped from the grave. sweat2

the sole PHPBB-style forum I still go to will quite frequently have threads from 16 years ago get posts, even if the last post was like 4 years ago
almost everyone in the thread that was there back then is still around biggrin cool
