I have no idea what you're on about because I haven't hooked up to the hive mind with my fellow mods yet and that incident doesn't ring a bell with me at all, so I'm assuming I wasn't involved in "hassling" you (I was gone for a week recently, so I might not have been present then), which probably just involved someone giving you a friendly admonition rather than any actual hassling, I'm guessing.
Anyway, here's what you said:
(Bolding mine) As far as I can tell, you're saying it's against the forum rules to only quote a select portion of someone's post that you wish to respond to. It is not. If someone posts a long post you don't have to quote the whole thing if you only intend to address one paragraph of it. Likewise, even in a short post, you still only have to address the part you're interested in discussing further, not every point made.
If someone deliberately keeps leaving out portions of your post that refute his or her point and then pretends that you never addressed the issue while doing a victory lap, that would be obnoxious and potentially trolling if done repeatedly and after being asked to stop by the mods, but I've never seen anyone get an infraction for that.
It is against the rules to alter the words of someone's quote to change its meaning and mislead people, though, but that doesn't appear to be what you were talking about, nor did the poster in question do that. If it's something harmless like a "Fixed that for you" response to a humorous post, that's no big deal, but altering the content of a post to change someone's argument is not permitted and can result in an infraction if one ignores mod requests to stop.
As always, if someone is repeatedly causing a problem with a certain behavior and has been asked to stop, that is more likely to draw an infraction than someone doing the same thing one time before being asked to stop.
Is that what you were looking for as far as defining "the line"? You can't always place a specific value or a hard and fast rule on something that's a judgment call.
Now, on to a second issue:
Speaking of bringing up stuff already discussed, thanks for mentioning that this is the third time you've posted the same thing. That's spamming and will get you an infraction if you continue. Stop it.Haha. I've literally called out the producers for their pisspoor direction and characterization with this series multiple times.
Third time I'm posting this;
This is who is mainly at fault for STD; Aaron Harbarts and Gretchen J Berg.
Terrible people to give the keys to the Star Trek universe to. They've turned it to complete shlock.
Like I said, post history. Instead of bringing up stuff already discussed.
Also, it's really creepy and distasteful that you keep posting the photo of the showrunners in a "These are the people to blame" post and then repeat it over and over again. Knock it off.
