    Repeated images are read from the local browser cache aren't they?
    Only a few bytes of bandwidth.

    You're also forgetting the mess it creates if there are multiple images that are quoted, and you have to scroll through images multiple times.

    It's also considered good etiquette not to quote entire posts if they are long, if there is no reason.

    Yes, after all they are the future. What legacy are we leaving them if this sort of situation continues. Cue song "Greatest love of all"...

    I agree about bad netiquette etc.

    The word infringement is way better I think. It has a certain class to it, more meaning or depth I suppose...
    Violation has more drama.

    Infraction is a term used in some sports rule books.

    The three are interchangeable in Dave world. Depends mainly on context.

    No but my scroll wheel clicks.

    Or if I'm on my tablet it's just another little flick to get passed quoted images.

    I have no complaints about the mods at all. I've been banned and severely reprimanded on several other forums for trivial matters such as expressing my views on white supremacy, anti antisemitism and illegal file sharing, while here it's pretty much all good. The good folks at www.cbr250.com even banned my IP address from their website (although I could still troll on there by using a VPN, seriously, just sign up and change your display pic to a swastika and you'll get so much lulz).

    ahhhh this explains the message I got the other day....
    You have received a warning at Kiwi Biker forums



    Dear Voltaire,

    You have received a warning at Kiwi Biker forums.

    Reason:
    -------
    Ignoring Forum Netiquette

    Hi there,

    Please be aware that quoting embedded media is not permitted, re your post below.

    Please refer to this thread if you require more detail (same rules for Images and Video): http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...mbedded-images

    Thanks,

    I must try this approach at work.... way better than " Did you know that reposting images in not really good because it wears out peoples mice scrolling?"
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
