If I were doing it, I could totally understand quoting whole posts without trimming them and short replies

Trying to even highlight text on an iPhone, let alone trim a long Mafia post, let alone quote several people in one post... it's a Fucking chore



So is writing flavor and formatting mod posts on a phone

Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew

Iphones are like the worst to use
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

Faraday and Hoopla were pretty awesome people that I miss.
Kuribo, DGB, and Reck were all hilarious. I loved reading their posts even if I wasn't in the game they were playing.

Your post and Alchemist's subsequent picture in Chrono Trigger Resurrection was one of my top five favorite things on this site

I'd support a "no back to back posting" rule.
We've actually been talking about this sort of stuff backstage for a while. It's probably time to bring it out from the shadows in MD, so I'll work on that soon. The problem I have is that even for the thoughtful listmods I have, it's hard sometimes for people to separate golden days nostalgia from actual problems facing the site. Like... ever since joining people have complained about the new guard coming in and ruining things when a huge portion is just that lots of people just get tired of playing a game they used to love and misattribute the cause of their inability to get into the game like they used to. And that's okay on an individual basis, but it's problematic when talking about potential top-down solutions (whether game mod or list mod enforced).

To be clear, I'm not talking specifically about a "no back to back posting" rule, but rather things that look at the increase in the rate of posting that potentially causes higher replacement rates, gets rid of newbies and vets alike, and so forth.
Somewhat newish still and I can say that spamposting is incredibly irritating as it is right now.

It's especially annoying when people make a second post in a row to make a point which easily could have been made in the first

extra long deadlines are also a pain since people insist on waiting 9 more days to do effectively nothing when a lynch has already been consolidated and agreed upon

for people on V/LA or people who can't log in hours a day, MS longer deadlines are superior. I think our longer deadlines are one of the best distinguishing features of the site.
