This is ANNOYING.

So you feel that quote-pyramids should not be allowed purely for the aesthetics of threads?

edit: sorry, posted at the same time as Raist.

I am DMKA, and I approve Leeza's message.

Why can't we just edit our quotes, if it's too big? xD

Yes!

Personally I think quoted quotes are annoying wether theyre in my own posts or other peoples. I always liked the feature that stopped quotes from being quoted. It was neat.

[Loony BoB]

I'm siding with Leeza for now, despite me being the one that made the change. Raistlin, double posting is okay and neccessary in certain circumstances and therefore making it impossible to double post would be stupid. Also, we don't make it impossible to quote quotes, you just have to do a bit more work. It doesn't take much extra time anyway - I've done it on occasion. I'll wait for a little bit but at this rate I'm expecting to revert the file to it's former strip_qoutes self.

Seeing all of these pyramids reminds me now of why this quote thing was removed in the first place and I now agree with the decision...again. These pyramids look terrible, even if they do contain only two quotes. I would rather go through the pain of copy/pasting every quote that I need in order not to have to look at these ugly pyramid posts. Yes, they are ugly.

Leeza, after seeing those hideously big and ugly pyramids in this thread, I totally agree with you.

Please tell me what the devil is so ugly or wrong about simple quotes-within-quotes such as this. Also please provide me with some links to this apparent epidemic of enormous quote-pyramids, because I haven't seen any but I'd be happy to take care of those for you.

We could always implement javascript dropdown quotes. And by "we" I mean BoB and/or clout.

...what?



Ok, back to the topic, unless the quote pyramid starts filling a whole screen, it's not really a hinderance imho. Why get one's panties in a bunch over something so trifle?

You already deleted them, but they were there when I posted that. It's just annoying to see huge quotes because some people are too lazy to delete the un-needed ones.

Then please report every multi-quote you see that was done out of laziness, and I'll even go out of my way to edit every one of those, too. It shouldn't be too much work because the vast majority of multi-quotes are done intentionally to provide context rather than out of laziness.

Or we could enable the thread/hybrid view options, and get the kind of post tree thing you see at LJ, so removing the need to ever use quotes again

Take a shower, hippie.

Now if I had just quoted and edited so that only your post would show, this would be good, but most people won't bother going in to edit out the quotes that are not needed and then you end up with stuff like this. I think this post looks ugly, but I guess ugly is all in the eye of the beholder.

Then please report every multi-quote you see that was done out of laziness, and I'll even go out of my way to edit every one of those, too.

I glad you volunteered for the job.
