no one should be held responsible for something they quoted.Problem is though, even if an abuse-spewing user's posts are removed, the quotes remain.True, but you're on the Internet. if people aren't adult enough to handle things like that popping up every once in a while then there's no point in even having a forum, because it's going to happen.
A rule like this will just get people in trouble, it won't even slow the "problem," which isn't even a major problem, mind you.I disagree. It is easy to show restraint and simply report a post. That way, you don't spread the offending material and, in severe cases, you eliminate the need for a moderator to edit your post to remove the offending content (shock site link, for example). The problem, you are right, is not major. I do believe that it deserves recognition.
People are too quick to anger, and post replies too quickly. Sure, they may report a post and then reply to it, but in the long run, it is a much better to get into the habit of reporting a post and then moving on.
