I've noticed a few members, of late that are trying to up their post count by quoting someone and leaving the rest of the post blank. Is there some way to stop this trend?

From what I have seen, it is more a case of the poster messing up the quote process and putting their response within the quotes as opposed to after.

Secondly, who cares if someone wants to up their post count that way. Why does the post count matter anyways? I don't pay attention to it.

I base decisions on whether or not to buy something partly on their post count. The higher the count, the more honest.

Length of time of membership seems plausible. It just irritates me that room is being taken up and, sometimes, disrupting the flow of conversation.

There is also a thread on the site listing people who have been good traders to date and I believe a list of poor traders as well.

When I see this it is usually to voice their agreement with a previous post. It makes it easier to read. So instead of reading 10 variations of "Be careful when spraying laquers over acrylics", it is nice to see one quote carreid through.

It's like when people post "+1" or "what he said", just simplier to read.

Now, the underlying reason for this post. I have been attempting to lull users that don't input their opinions into a discussion; in which he or she must present his or her opinions. I realize that I have most likely alienated myself, but I think I did so striving for a higher cause.
