If you agree post here. if you disagree post here to.
What is Nested Quotes?
Thats when you quote someone and it takes all quotes in your post. by ticking a checkbox in the admin control panel, you can disable this, and it will only quote the exact message you are replying to. This is useful because:
prevents conversations to be taken out of context(by making it necessary to read an entire thread to understand the flow of the conversation.
reduces clutter in the thread.
reduces the amount of pages in a thread.
it just plain looks better.

I enabled this for a short time in the past, but for some reason I disabled it again. I don't remember why.

how exactly does removing nested quotes add more context? if anything, it reduces context and forces users to guess what each other is talking about.

eh, i'm not trying to bust your balls either. it just annoys me. this thread should help me gauge how much interest there would be in disabling them. I may be in the minority on this one, and i'm fine with that.

I think it adds more confusion to have them disabled.

It is nice to have all the relevant quotes right in one place so everybody can keep track of who said what. Also, it is easy enough to quote and delete out the layers of quotes you don't want. Takes like 3 seconds when you make your posts.

Exactly. I do it all the time when the nested quotes aren't needed for context.

Exactly. I do it all the time when the nested quotes ( ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) quoted bombed!) aren't needed for context. Exactly what I do too... Next will be to stop editing of the quote.

Takes like 3 seconds when you make your posts. +1 Doing it regularly when quoting longer posts / nested quotes. Nested quotes are necessary, disabling them would remove context and waste people's time.
+1 Leaving unnecessary parts of the quotes wastes it either. But it's on each poster to remove them and leave the relevant ones in.

Good idea! That would save a lot of time when quoting a wall of text or a 'quote hell' This could often lose the context I'm afraid. I believe that carefully removing parts of the quote by hand woud have more optimal ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) results.
