For instance, I am in an interchange with Robvalue, and, I want to respond/quote his post repeatedly, else I cannot give him feedback and discuss his questions. Right this moment I want to respond to him, and, wanting to do it right in the eyes of others...I admit I am both improving and progressively becoming more confused ! Why is it improper to reply to or to quote his post more than once ? Now, I do admit that what I have just written you appears to be some sort of intent to bug you, but it really is my true expression of my ongoing frustration. From what I read about trolling it is when a person causes discord among members, how do you correlate my ineptitude at quoting with causing discord among the members ?!Negatio.(September 2, 2018 at 2:22 am)negatio Wrote: Losty, what was "so hard" about a Newbie trying to do what you see as so simple is, when the Newbie gets to "beneath the quote", whatever, or, wherever that was supposed to be, the normal figure-ground function of his consciousness cannot see the figure which you describe as "beneath the quote", for, as I now see, is a purely blank white space; so, the Newbie cannot, does not, see what you are talking about...user unfriendliness par excellence ! Negatio.
I don’t know why you’re responding to this old post that you’ve already previously responded to. But...it’s not really fair to say the site isn’t user friendly. Hundreds of people use it just fine. You’re the only person I have ever seen struggle with it this much. And I honestly can’t tell whether you’re faking not being able to quote as a part of your trolling. ! Losty.

My pro-tips for operating on this forum, OP. First is to accurately use the quotation function. I can see you’re able to edit posts quite easily, and indeed utilise common forum languages and shorthand (OP is an example), so I’m not sure why you’re unable to use this when the BB code is actually very simple and user friendly.
Not doing this is both frustrating for other members who are trying to communicate with you (responding without quoting will not alert them, and if you start cutting and moving text and not adding in additional quotation tags it stymies the flow of your post at best and makes it unreadable at worst) and, to be frank, draws suspicion.
In addition, I’m not here to tell people how to write their posts, but from my long experience moderating and posting on a wide number of forums, people who refer to themselves in the 3rd person, and write in an overly verbose and tangential fashion, are often not genuine in their attempts at discourse. Again, I’m not here to tell you how to write, but the reaction you will (continue) to get from posters is one of frustration and annoyance as people will find it very difficult to decipher what it is you’re trying to say (and that’s not due to a lack of comepetencies on their part, many of our members are very well read in a wide variety of disciplines as you’ll see from perusing previous threads). People want to talk to other members, but if it feels like they’re having a conversation with a poorly programmed chat bot, they’ll soon lose interest.
Those are my pro tips - take them or leave them.

Why is a box with KevinM1's "I am not a troll." constantly appearing in some sort of sub-ground on my thread, from August 21st ??? Negatio.

You lost me at "this", what this ? Negatio.

I was told by a member that I can simply click on Reply, and the BB code is automatically set into play, and I just type my reply in the box below where the quote appears. That is precisely what I have been doing, and, thereby I thought I was making progress.
Now I think I hear you saying that I always have to quote by clicking on Quote, and, using BB code, each and every time.
You clearly appear to be using "quote'' in at least two different senses, perhaps three senses, and, OP is being used in what appears to be different senses. Thank you for explaining how I am being perceived by others, however, believe me, I am being authentically inept here, and am not attempting to mess with anyone's head, or, to surreptitiously troll. Thanks a million. Negatio.
Not that you care I suspect but attempting to troll an administrator (poorly) will not end well for you.
You know very well that quoting me whilst taking out my handle from the BB code will create a quote tag without alerting me. (Un)fortunately it’s my job to read through the threads and siphon out the dross.e
I will restudy the teachings others have sent me, and read the rules Pandemoniam is referring to. Now, something is not going to end well for me because you are absolutely mistakenly convinced that I am purposely trolling an administrator. I do apologize, that is not the case. I am simply making the mistake of forgetting about the = author. Sincerely, Negatio.
