I thinks it's time we had a chat.
There are some disturbing mistruths being spread across the land of sweet and it appears that the well reasoned sensible people throughout the league are asleep at the wheel. Either they don't know, don't show or don't care about whats going on in the hood. But fear not my friends I Harvey Manfrenjensenden am here to let you all know whats really going on, and how it adversely effects each and every one of you.
"Whats wrong with Multi - Quoting Harvey?" I hear you say.....
Well that's a great question, allow me to break it down for you.
First of all there is nothing wrong with Multi - Quoting
When done correctly.
You read that right.
"But I don't understand Harvey"
Just sit back friend and all will be explained.
In theory multi - quoting is a brilliant idea that stops one person from responding to several people using several separate posts. I mean who wants to check back into the match thread and have to sift through a whole page from a single poster replying to all the posts they missed whilst at work right?
However in reality it rarely ever works like that and there are but a handful of posters in the league that are capable of administering the multi - quote correctly and harnessing its true power.
And let me clear from the start The Half Back is not one of them.
The first mistake exponents of the "Multi" do is assume that all posts in a match thread require a response. common misconception but the truth is, some posts are better left alone.
The second mistake they make is to not single out the quality posts in a match thread and give them the respect they deserve. So when you get a notification that The Half Back has quoted your post the euphoria that something you posted meant something to someone is short lived when you realise your reply has been mashed together with a response to a TJASTA Meh and something WaynesWorld19 posted but you don't understand. Suddenly that one post that you thought about for so long and drafted several times to get the wording just right has been lobbed in with that picture of a pizza that looks like a dick and you ask yourself whether proof reading your posts or trying out the jokes on your friends first is worth the effort because at the end of the day the vocal minority is advocating blanket bombing the thread with their very own version of spam which in and of itself is just as abhorrent to look at and far more destructive to the fabric of this league. Creativity.
Which brings me to my final point............
That's spam no matter how you try and dress it up. It needs to stop.
In conclusion I would like to say that Multi - Quoting is like a hand job
Leave it to the experts otherwise it's just awkward
