I will say again - the reason is/was to allow people to ask for more details as most requests are just too damn vague.

It makes a huge moderation issue also. We'd have to keep track of all the threads in there to ensure no quotes are made in there. As Chris said, people will just do what they haven't been told to. And since that forum is quite popular, it would be difficult to moderate around the clock and to eliminate quotes in the threads before anything is agreed to. By the time we see it, things may have already progressed..

We can't stop people from posting quotes. With the PM system used for all of it, it never becomes an issue.
