Problem:

It's not just vets who tl;dr, we have a fair share of n00bs that post exhaustive lists of abilities or moves with commentary on every single one.

As a one-time copy-editor I definitely agree that most posts on Smogon in general and CAP specifically could use some pruning. On the other hand not reading a single post with three graphs in it isn't an indication that their post is tl;dr - it's an indication the viewer is lazy as hell.

[17:54] <Birkal> a citeandprune cite and prunner
[17:54] <%DHR> O_o lol
[17:54] <+Mos_Quitoxe> Cite and Prune doesn't do enough of either
[17:55] <+Mos_Quitoxe> can we make him change it or force him to pay damages
[17:55] <&Deck_Knight> It would be a lot easier for him to Cite and Prune if we made him a mod.
[17:56] <&Deck_Knight> I delegate this task to Birkal.
