[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4608321, member: 56859"]Y'know, the rules don't actually say this and it's a stretch to expect people would automatically know not to quote certain posts.. If it's that important to you-- and it appears to be, since the liberal quoting of rule-breaking posts in the now-deleted thread seems to have been the straw that broke the moderator's back-- perhaps you should edit the Rules post to make this point clear. Also, a member might not know if a rule has been broken, so they might quote it thinking it is okay. Here's an interesting case from page 4 of this thread which illustrates that last point: Feeling that it violated Rule #2, I reported this post by AngelDeath. Later, a moderator came through and redacted some posts in this thread but left AngelDeath's post intact, so I guess the post was not deemed to have broken rule #2. Sometimes it's hard to predict what will be deemed acceptable by a moderator. Had I known it would be deemed acceptable, I might have quoted AngelDeath right away, asking him why he felt the need to say that. For these reasons I feel the pinned admonition is an overly punitive measure and sincerely hope it is removed soon. I do not shop at stores that have people stationed at the doors, checking receipts as customers leave because I do not enjoy being treated like a presumed criminal. That's how the pinned admonition makes me feel. I understand that we all enjoy CoinTalk at the pleasure of Peter Davis and by extension the moderators, and that we have no control over the rules and interpretation of the rules. I do ask though that you give further consideration to the necessity of a pinned reprimand which appears to be having a negative effect on the community.[/QUOTE]
