Bring back imbedded quotes.

[Forest Dweller]

It's been a couple of weeks and imbedded quotes are still not back in. What I'm talking about are how when you used to quote someone you would get their whole post, including quotations of previous members. Now you get only what they've posted, which means you need to edit in the old quotes manually if you want to make sense of some of the things they've said. Taluntain says that all "sensible" forums are this way now because of database space. Don't listen to Taluntain, DU. It was perfect the way it was before because it's easier to remove unnecessary quotes than it is to add them back in. We don't want to be just another shitty forum do we?

If you agree, brofist.

I just noticed it today but I'm not sure if I disagree or not. On the one hand, the way it was before gave us more functionality. On the other hand, it made way for laziness in terms of writing up a reply. I can easily take bunch of quotes and write one-liners in response to each but...if I have to deal with just that one post, that one general idea of what the user is trying to say, it may force me to think harder and write more.

I still haven't had even one circumstance where I wanted them back in yet. Though I wouldn't really care as long as it's an option to set in profile. But deleting a half dozen nested quotes from a split up reply was annoying as fuck. The editor constantly highlights too much shit when I try to select things to delete.

 

[Gerrard]

I'm pretty sure they can limit the number of nested quotes to avoid huge chains. I think just 2 would be alright.

I'm for allowing at least one level of embedding.

Brofist DamnedRegistrations if you disagree with Dick.

First person to make a quote pyramid that breaks the forum gets perma-banned. And we can keep you out for good this time.

How about the second person?

 

[DraQ]

But how can we defend ourselves against dumbfucks and spammers if we are not allowed to bear blackholes?
