Do you think quote pyramids should go?
Get rid of quote pyramids?
It's very annoying to see full-page long quotes of a quote within a quote within a quote within a quote within a quote. Is there any feature that could turn this off?

Laziness is a disease some of us suffer from.
No need to be so cruel.

lol. Nah I'm not being cruel, I'm kinda lazy too by my own right but if people think highlighting paragraphs and pushing the backspace button takes a lot of their time to be an excuse for laziness then may god help us all.Irish_Catalan_Scouser wrote:Jack Daniels wrote:If only people weren't too lazy to delete the earlier quotes. *sigh*

I think people don't do it because they forget they can. Not laziness.

I beg to differ because when you quote a post, the quotation is clearly placed on the white text box.Irish_Catalan_Scouser wrote:Jack Daniels wrote:lol.

And most people here even change the font color of quoted posts to highlight a certain phrase.
Anyway I'm going to ask the other admins if this is possible in forumotion.

Quoteception I personally don't mind it if there is a lot of reference to previous arguments, however if a quote is no longer needed I'll remove it.

I do it. The problem is that very little other people do. And most forums have disabled it, so that makes me think there is a feature somewhere in the Admin PC that allows them to turn it off.

Nested quotes are really, really annoying.
