I've noticed some threads, where two arguing forumers will reply each other, using reply+quote each time.

This makes each reply as big as the whole thread combined!

The quote feature is really useful, but I think this could be why the poor servers sometimes slow down

Naughty step for these people or not?

When two people monopolise the entire thread it gets ok my tits. I don't mind the odd bit of banter but when it's 15/20 comments...

Sometimes it's good to quote context and sometimes just quoting the phrase will do. I think the servers will cope.

It does however make it easier to read the whole 'debate' without scrolling through the whole thread.

Not naughty step worthy, but if people could go through and chop some of the quoted post out, maybe just leaving the last paragraph they're replying to, I think that makes the threads flow much better.

Maybe some users don't know that they can click quote, completely edit the OP's text to highlight the bit they want to reply to, then click outside of the quoted section to make their point in their own post. But you have a point.

I imagine it's because a large number of site users do so through a mobile... and it's easier to click "reply & quote" than go through the faff of pruning...

Which is soooo much easier with a laptop.

Cut the fingers off of mobile users.

It's annoying as it doesn't show who said what in a long quote, so it's hard to decipher them when they get big.

Why the system can't only include the last quote when the reply + quote function is used I don't know

Not dreaming! It seems very noticeable recently.

I would have thought people doing it on a phone would hate it even more, panning through a massive reply???

Click the bit that says +quote

Then you can edit anything between the quote in square brackets. Just don't edit the square brackets themselves.

Then click back outside the square brackets to state your point.
