SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

In the D&D Movie thread and several others people are doing so many 'quote' or 'quote boxes' that wind up being layered on top of each other and looking like an 'Infinity Mirror'. This makes those threads almost unreadable and near impossible to follow any discussion.

Is there a way to discourage this? Or cut down the number of layered quotes or inset quoting?

How else are you supposed to build an evidence trail to incriminate the other poster in Table-Top RPG Court?

"Ah ha! Your box 23 contradicted what you said in box 12!!! Bailiff, seize him!"
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

I agree with this Klingon.

I'm one of the participants. Sorry about that. I will try to not do that anymore. I agree, it makes things difficult to read, and should have remembered that when I was quoting all those boxes.
