It is a bit sad that a technical solution is proposed for a non-technical problem. But it can be done simpler even. Some forums don't auto-insert everything on reply. You have to copy manually if you want to quote. Default is none. The thread is there for anyone to see. That works better against a anti-social behaviour disorder like this.hgm wrote:It would be a good thing if the forum software limited the recursion of the 'quote' tag to, say, 2 levels of quoting.
A new tag, 'deepquote', could be added that is not subject to this limitation.
But as it would never be added automatically, it can only appear in posts that people edit first. This way lazy people could no longer abuse the system.
Why not remove the "quote" button here as well.
