At the bottom right hand corner of every post is a button that says "quote". Press the button and let the magic take you away.

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 11:45 AM

Well, I don't really want to.

KITTY!

The quote button is pretty awesome.

The multiquote button is better.

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 11:53 AM

Multiquote? I don't like to single quote. In my opinion, quotes are for people who can't come up with their own words.

Only if you're replying to multiple things.

You don't quote people to repeat their words, you quote them so everyone knows you're replying to that, not something else.

Or sometimes you quote them to repeat their words.

i think you may have gotten mixed up. so that you know that i am replying to you, not WoF or anyone before/after, i use the quote like so;

it took me a while to remember to do it, but it benefits everyone in the end. less confusion.

EDIT: The Bastard beat me.

Well, I don't really want to negrep you, but if you continuously fail to put posts in context...well, what can I do?

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 12:05 PM

Look, you guys are driving me crazy. Except for Shaman, Shaman is cool. Look, you speak using cheap quotes, but Molluck's-assistant and Max-the-mug, I will speak with words of my own, not quotes.

And OANST? What the odd is context? Speaking of Odd, is this not Oddworld Forums, the greatest site dedicated to the creations of Lorne Lannning? I will be odd and never quote, I swear it upon the River Styx.

OANST 11-09-2009 12:06 PM

Okay. You've been negrepped.

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 12:09 PM

You don't mess with the River Styx. That's the impossible-no-breaking-or-else-YOU-MUST-DIE-promise. Okay? Negrep me all you want you can't stop me from an opinion.

No, but that red dot stops everyone from taking you seriously.

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 12:15 PM

See how you like it yourself...

Well one does one's best. :D

EDIT: Stop it here guys, let's not drive away another one.

You don't have any rep to take away from me.

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 12:17 PM

...If I knew how to negrep.

Hey shaman? Any chance for some Positive rep?

MA 11-09-2009 12:22 PM

no sport in this. we'll be depicted as the 'bad guys' if we respond in an even slightly sarcastic manner to his posts.

and i had something nice lined up for his last response as well.

OANST 11-09-2009 12:26 PM

Well, I was trying to be nice, and got nothing but inane snark in return.

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 12:27 PM

You were sarcastic? Well, tone of voice is more important then I thought. Sorry. However OANST just negatively-reputationed me for swearing the unbreakable oath! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!?

shaman 11-09-2009 12:29 PM

Here i was thinking this forum has moved past the idea of making newbies parias.

Wings of Fire 11-09-2009 12:29 PM

You do realize that you've just single handedly spammed up and destroyed a thread which should have concluded with everyone agreeing they were going to be nice to people like you?

MA 11-09-2009 12:30 PM

MarsMudoken: you sure? you're still on -9. i'm sure it would have plummeted if OANST had -repped you. also, i wasn't being sarcastic and neither was OANST. i was trying to help you understand the quote concept.

and for the record, i haven't -repped you in this thread. but i did in that other thread. for being bossy.

Woah, hold the fuck on. Don't put this on me. If the way the forum works is nicely explained, and then ignored it is not out of the question to let the person know that their behavior is not desirable.

shaman 11-09-2009 12:35 PM

You make a good point.

Jordan 11-09-2009 12:39 PM

No, I don't mind at all making newbies feel welcome. But it seems all Mars has done since he came here is to try and cause as much trouble as possible. He's being an ass to people, and I don't feel like being nice to someone like that.
Sure, I know people on this forum get a little out of hand with newbies sometimes, but when someone is just being like that I don't blame them for giving him neg rep/negative comments.

MarsMudoken 11-09-2009 01:55 PM

...I wasn't actually aware what this was about.


I'm sorry for what I've done. OANST, I beg of your forgiveness. And all you other guys, sorry.

And shaman is still awesome.

Sekto Springs 11-09-2009 03:11 PM

I think Mars's rep power speaks volumes.
He's not the one being an asshole, guys.

Nate 11-09-2009 03:36 PM

God, I'm tempted to infract everyone who's posted in this thread in the last 12 hours. Even the mods.

Instead I shall take the off-topicness to mean that everyone agrees with the announcement and had nothing more to say on the issue.
