Suggestion for <in-game/forum/teamspeak etc.> Remove the 'Marquee' option from forum posts.

In detail, explain your suggestion: Self explanatory.



Why should this be implemented?
[move]Because it's never been utilized properly, and only adds widespread annoyance. [/move]
Not really self-explanatory.

The suggestion is self-explanatory not the reason why.
Hence why he wrote self-explanatory for the suggestion and not the reason.

I don't see why it should be removed?

No reason to remove features, if you don't like them, don't use them.

I would rather we make a forum rule regarding this.
The option is good for adverts and such; it does have uses.
However I do agree it's been incorrectly used, such as writing "Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hi" and taking 15+ seconds to reach the end.


Proper use (In this instance, it would be an IG event thread which may be sponsored) [

I'd have no problem with that at all. Basically this idea was to mitigate the amount of annoying, almost spam like posts such as

[move]+SUPPORT[/move]

Or

[move]HI[/move]

which seem to be in any thread.

The option itself, as you highlighted, does have benefits, but I've not seen it used properly once in the month LL has been up.

I don't see anything wrong with the +Support image being used.

Because it's bloody annoying seeing the same shitty response to 100s of posts, especially when it's spammed like certain people do.
