Off-topic buttons?

In my opinion, nested quotes should be collapsed by default.

That's why you edit the quote so it only shows one level and the part which you are directly replying to like I have done here, I don't understand why people quote quotes that are already like 5 levels deep

Okay. Why don't you go try to convince everyone that they should do this, and in the meanwhile I'll go bash my head against a brick wall.

Dear Everyone,

Please clean up your quotes like I do before posting them, otherwise Mao will continue to bash his head against a brick wall and lose brain cells and hence will no longer be able to help you with Chemistry, meaning you cannot get a 50. If you value Mao's help, please assist him in this time of great need.

What if we could get the make the "Insert Quote" buttons just quote the particular user and ignore anything they have in <quote> </quote> tags from the other users? It would mean that new and lazy posters won't be quoting quotes of quotes of quotes, and if you still need to quote something in reference to someone else's quote, then you would just quote each seperately. Assuming it can be done.

So what do we think of this?

But sometimes you need a quote of quote for your post to make sense. I've been in this situation before

In that situation then you would quote from both users, and if you have to put it in the other quote (just copy it between the right <quote> tags), its means that if you really need to do this then you will, where as those who are quoting quotes of quotes won't be doing it, they'll just have the last quote.

@David, I see you've put in some changes that removes nested quotes when pressing the 'quote' button.

But that only removes one level of quote (the innermost level). This wouldn't matter over time, as people will only quote to 1 level in the future. But in the meanwhile, confusions be had.

It doesn't really matter though.

This is a pointless post.

Yeah, that didn't work quite as I had planned. Changing it back until I come up with a better solution. Also, other things.

Surely some regex would fix it right?

regex is the answer to everything, or so I'm told.

t-up, should be implemented and afaik it's part of vB so it shouldn't be hard to integrate. probably as simple as ticking a box somewhere.

Off-topic buttons would take all the fun from AN.
Often a short jokes has it's place in a thread.
We could maybe arrange something, that an off-topic post can't be upvoted, therefore does not effect the respect points.
