Maybe we could offer the ability to strip quotes if they're more than 2 levels down, i.e. no more than a quote and a child quote are allowed... That way, we maintain context, and avoid pyramids entirely... Is that better, now..?
Anyway, what I offered still holds:
- adding a "show this quote" button for quotes below the first level,
- using e-mail-like quotes in the post area, so that you can easily delete the quotes, without having to look for quote tags, e.g.
> > Quote: Arantor
> > Nice...
>
> Quote: Nao
> Hello, world.
Easy to turn back into quote tags, and nearly as easy to build in the first place, as it only requires a technique similar to what I did with the Mentions popup positioning... (Which, ahem, is still buggy.. Not for the positioning, though...)
- or, simply, showing the automatic quote splitter's description in huuuuge red bold text :P
- or just enabling it by default, and bypassing by shift+enter. (Not hot about that one, personally... I'm still old school, and even though I got the idea for the quote splitter, and even implemented it, I don't use it much... At least, not as much as Pete seems to do... ;))
