Yaay, PK Thunder[Gamma].

Okay, it has come to my attention that a rule has been changed regarding the posts made on SC. The rule is that you can't double post, even if one is quoted.

I can see why this rule was put in place for places such as the Forums. Time and time again, I have seen people take advantage of this loophole just to get their post count higher. I have seen people post something and then respond again to the exact same post with a quote. I can well understand this rule being put into place in the forums but I see it as an asinine rule if it is put into place int the Teams and Clans section of SC.

Whether you realize it or not, Teams and Clans moves much faster than the Forums. In the Forums, you can expect to wait anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours just to get a response to your post. This is NOT the case in Teams and Clans. You can expect to have your post responded to in roughly 15 seconds. Yes, I am getting this all from personal experience.

Most of these fast posts come from the Rps of T&C but some still come from the ever famous 'Chat thread'. By getting rid of the quote loophole, the staff of SC has, in essence, crippled the productivity of T&C. I will attempt to explain to you why and how this has happened in a few short points

• Double posting with quotes is sometimes needed in T&C because of its speed.
  
• An edit doesn't work as well as you might think
  

Double posting is needed because Rps, and sometimes Chat threads, move at too fast of a speed for people to keep up. I, along with many others, use multiple characters at a time to interact with multiple people. To add to this, I try to put quality into my posts. Most of the time, it means typing out something that could be considered long. This takes time, time that could be used by others to post something else. By the time I do finish up something and post it, I could have had 5 other people talking to my other characters. I have an example for you right here: http://i48.tinypic.com/5v7w51.png

In the picture above, I was interacting with two other members (Rio222 and Ninetailed Fox). Rio222 is generally a fast poster, meaning that he will respond to you in around half a minute. I want you all to pay attention to the post times. The post I made was directed towards Rio222. Ninetailed Fox posted one second before me. If I were to edit the post, it might be overlooked or become invalid. Ninetailed Fox could have posted right after me, telling me to look at her last post or simply moving on. If she were to post something after that while I was busy editing, she would, most likely, not look at my edited post, meaning that I just wasted all of my time and effort editing that. Most people aren't too inclined to read over the same things over and over again just to see if someone edited.

If I were to be able to quote her's right after posting my response to Rio, she would be forced to look at my response to her because it would come up as the latest post.

What I'm trying to say is that these quotes are needed in order to keep thing operating smoothly.
