It takes more time to add in quotes than it does to delete them. Therefore, eliminating automatic multi-quotes would be a waste of time.

There should be a vote to decide!! =)

Why not complicate things a little?
Two quote buttons instead of one:
Quote - Just quotes the basic post, not the quotes in it.
Full Quote - Quotes the entire post, including prior quotes.

Just a suggestion. I'm really not too fussed, though I'd tend to agree with what Kishi just said.

That's actually a pretty good idea, as long as it wouldn't be too tough to do. Knowing our luck, it'd probably involve five different hacks, though. xD

Six, but who's counting?

I don't see the problem with quotes in quotes. I'd use them anyways given the [ qq ] tag, which is as far as I usually care to go. QQs are simple and effective ways to keep track of what one is responding to, especially in a long thread. If someone abuses it, just warn them or something.

I double-posted purposely when commenting on a drawing. I first put in a post with a crappy drawing I made to emphasize my lack of talent while saying, "Yours is good for what it is."
I then posted below it, "I like the Gungrave drawing."
The above statement was referring to two previous drawings, so if I put the Gungrave comment in the same post in anywhere, it wouldn't have made as much sense. I guess I could've waited until someone else posted.

I agree about the quote pyramids. I don't like to see them. A lot of the quoters around here are "little kids" who don't take the time to edit out the unnecessary crap of what they're quoting. I take my sweet time editing EVERY-SINGLE THING I post. I even delete my posts quite often if they bear no relevance for some reason or someone else said it better than me.

By the way:

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.

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.

I glad you volunteered for the job.

This is about the point where it starts getting annoying.

Also, I think we should call them Ziggurats rather than Pyramids.
