Best mod quote I have ever seen

I note that ATMB is for feedback and I don’t see a rule limiting it to negative feedback, so might I say that

is the most beautiful mod action I have ever seen here for the reasons I have highlighted in bold orange.

Some of Marley’s recent decisions have also been hilarious as well and in general could I suggest more of that kind of thing?

Thread link might be nice.

Marley does come up with some good ones :smiley:

Thread
I think Marley’s warning is on page 3.

You can click the arrows in the quote to see the thread.

These warnings were by Miller not Marley, but Marley’s done some good shit recently as well.

DOH!

Sorry! :smack:

As it happens, this is the best mod quote. The thread’s locked, so I can’t quote, but I can link.

As it happens, I am the fucking hall monitor. - manhattan.

I miss manhattan.

He once did a md action in verse. Sigh, he was dreamy.

that* is* excellent, applause!

You can’t quote? Check this out!

Me too. He’s still around if you know your mixology.

At the risk of making a huge faux pas, what ever happened to Manhattan?

Nothing melodramatic, he just retired and stopped hanging out here.

Actually, with a little bit of effort, you can too quote from a closed thread. Like this:

ETA: Okay, I see a minor glitch there. In manhattan’s original post, the word I is italicized in “I am the fucking hall monitor” and that little font change got lost. Still, basically, you can do it. Who’da thunk it?

OK? :confused: It would have taken way more effort than what I did. I’m lazy, that’s more of an effort than I like to make. Especially on an iPhone.

Okay, I see Monty approximately figured this out too, just a little ahead of me! Just giving credit where credit is due. Note, though, that there’s something just a little bit, uh, odd about Monty’s quotes: They don’t look quite normal. Can you see what’s different there?

Also: Normally when you click on the little arrow to view the original post, you get a page with the entire thread (or one page thereof), but positioned to the post in question. When you click on Monty’s funky little arrows, you get a page showing only that one post.

Monty, you’re really really close to getting it right. Just one little extra step to get the link to the original post so that the whole thread shows instead of just the one post (but positioned to the post in question), and a few extra steps to make the little arrow look and work like the real thing.

(On preview: I see on preview that cochrane has a comment on this, but I’ll go ahead and post this now, then read what cochrane has to say.)

Okay, I take it from this comment that you know the trick too. Maybe everybody does? Hey, I just figured it out myself, so that made me think I’m spiffy smart! :rolleyes: Yeah, you’re right, it’s just a bit of a PITA to do. I wouldn’t even think of doing fancy stuff like that on an iPhone.

Note also that Monty got a quote-within-a-quote there too. (ETA: It’s up in Post #11, FYI.) A lot of Dopers know how to do that too, because I see it done a lot. But yeah, it is something of a PITA.

This was the first one to come to mind when I saw the thread title. I read it when it happened, and it gets my vote.

Manhattan’s is legend. Euty did some great stuff as well.
