Can we filter "Who are you quoting?"

No.

Perhaps you should stop misusing the quote feature.

can we unfilter "go back . to reddit"

No one cares about this anymore you dumb autist
>>
>>544590
You seem to care a lot, enough to have made this thread.
>>
>>544590
Then why should it be filtered if nobody cares?
>>
>>544415
Who is that character?
>>
>>544611
Nevermind, apparently it's Doppio. I found this out right as I started listening to Roundabout, in a funny coincidence.
>>
>>544415
You can filter anything you want.
>>
>>544465
>misusing
Get with the times grandpa.

/jp/ is the only board that resists this still, and even then it's unfortunately losing the battle due to so many subhumans going to /jp/ for generals and then speaking the same way outside of them.
>>
>>544868
Except greentexting isn't even functional. It's only used to tell shitty unfunny stories or just shitposting.
>>
>>544895
its literally used to make text green
why people want to make text green, who the fuck knows? but to say that greentext itself does anything other than that is fucking wrong.
>>
>>544927
>its literally used to make text green
No, it's used to quote posts.
>>
>>544415
I usually say "Whom are you quoting" so this wouldn't work and people would just switch to the grammatically correct phrase anyhow.
>>
>>544927
>its literally used to make text green
you can't be this fucking new
>>
>>544931
>>544933
If it was for quoting and not making text green, then it would have been called "quotetexting", not "greentexting", and it certainly would have stayed black instead of green.
>>
>>544938
I know you're fucking with me but I've been talking about the "greater than" sign all this time.
>>
>>544590
Don't come into a place you weren't invited to, shit it up then get annoyed when the regulars tell you fuck off.
>>
>>544938
>If it was for quoting
The above, what I just did, is a method of quoting which is predates 4chan entirely.
>and it certainly would have stayed black instead of green
It is only green as a means to stand out because of braindead fuckwits like you who would struggle to differentiate between standard text and quoted text.

It's pretty fucking obvious that you are not old enough to be posting here. If you've ever used an email account in your life, you should be familiar with this quotation marking function of the > sign.
>>
>>544938
>and it certainly would have stayed black instead of green.
It's green because Futaba colored quotes green, long before 4chan even existed.
>>
>>544938
>If it was for quoting and not making text green, then it would have been called "quotetexting", not "greentexting"
It's called greentexting as a joke to parody people who didn't understand that it's for quoting.

Pretty funny that you take it seriously.
>>
>>544465
/v/ermin seem to get really pissed when you point this out, it's pretty hilarious.
>>
>>544945
I know that. The problem comes when using said sign at the beginning of a line turns the whole line green.

>>544959
I know it existed long before 4chan. I also know that when it first started out, it didn't change the colour of the text.
>as a means to stand out
Wouldn't have been an issue if the colour had never been changed to begin with.

>>544964
I know futaba did it before 4chan existed. But it doesn't matter who started it. Someone had the idea to make the text green.

>>544972
Then it should have been something like "quotetexting wrongly", not "greentexting".
>>
>>544932
This. I have no problem with the content but people using who instead of whom triggers me.
>>
>>544985
>Then it should have been something like "quotetexting wrongly", not "greentexting".
How the fuck would that be a parody?

This is quite possibly the dumbest thread on /qa/ right now. That's not easy to do, I'm impressed.

List of shit to filter:
Now that the dust has settles
Prove me wrong

So let's cut to the chase here.

You really are new to this site right? Why do you feel the need to change things?
>>
>>544415
If you don't like something why don't you filter it yourself you cretin
>>
>>545032
Yes, he is new. He feels the need to change things because he doesn't like the site's current state, which is the result of being controlled by autists. However, there are much more cancerous things besides what he has stated such as Pepe the reddit frog.
>>
>>544895
Greentexting makes people even more retarded than they already are. Those fags can't even think in sentences anymore, just abrupt word groups and grunts.

I'm usually not that bothered when people do it on /jp/, so long as they aren't telling greentext stories or using it as a strawman.

Not you again. Wanting to keep the greater than sign as a quoting feature isn't functional fixedness. Take a psych class and fuck off.

'not a real argument' or something blah blah
