If your post consists of only a quotes block, the forums will not let you post. Try it. Click the Quote button on my post, and it will only allow you to preview, not actually submit it.

Forum post problem

No, it's a time bot based thing.
I know what tux did to disable bot posts. What the typical bot does is scrape the website and submit a post function within milliseconds, and a human clearly takes a minimum amount of time. This and there are several others, it's not a "broken" thing, it's meant to be that way.
Besides, if you're ONLY going to quote someone, why the f are you posting anything at all? Someone else already said it best...
The least you could do is quote and before say "blah said it best..."[quote]

so, short and sweet, It's a bot deterrent.

I'll post one right now, but you have to wait a few seconds, and simulate humans doing lots of thinking

EDIT: But it didn't work at first. I had to click Preview, then clicked Submit again. I don't know if that's actually what made it work-- I was just doing random shit to try to get it to post.

EDIT 2: I tried to edit the post again after edit 1, and it gave me the same problem. This time nothing worked and I had to restart firefox.

[quote="ArchDevil"]why would you just want to quote someone anyway?[/quote]Why? Because you're a buddypic.com forum whore. My friend got me to join one time so I could watch the forums. It moves about as quickly as a chatroom with 50 people on it. People get thousands of posts daily and it's not uncommon to see people with 100k+ posts that have only been around for a year or less. Point of the story is, if one posts "LOLZ" to a post, and someone else feels the same euphoria of "LOLZ," they will just send a pure quote. It's lame. I hate them.
