When will there be one?
Everyone finds them annoying. And usually they're just pointless rants which take up half the fucking screen.
Very annoying.
I understand that they're fun.
But COME ON people.
Can we at least try and avoid them every now and then?
Please?  

Here's a little something i put together so you assholes could see what i'm going on about.


This is the original quote pyramid:

To avoid this shit, when you are going to quote someone, and you are in the "Quoting Post" area, select all the unnecessary bulk and delete it.
See image for clarification:

Once this is done, you should get a wonderful post.
Such as:

Notice that now, you can view this shit in one fucking page, without having to scroll down for ages and ages.
Marvelous, yeh?


Well. Good day.

Yeah I remember back in 2005 I suggested that this happen automatically and the mod response was "but then people will forget what the conversation was about"
Fucking gay.
I submitted it and they denied it.
Whatever.

I very much dislike the quote pyramids and wish people would learn how to quote properly. But why don't you write the FAQ yourself and submit it? Someone mentioned a stickied topic about it, but a FAQ would work much better.
