    |______(/QUOTE)____________

    Advantages:

    The quoted one can:
    1. can respond directly rather than 5 posts below.
    2. can add a link to his response-post.
    3. directly add a link to a summary-post or the answer.
    It helps moderation because:
    1. If peoples quote, they invite the quoted to respond.
      • Everyone fears the golden-rule:
      • Others do unto you what you do unto others.
    2. It reduces the possible rat-tail of posts
    3. It shows peoples when to make a new topic for things
      • Only the thread-OP should respond to replys with a new post.
    The user can:
    1. Style it with stylish (a browser addon)
      • Make better styles for userstyles.com
    2. Better distinguish between what belongs to the reply to a quote and following text (also with CSS)

    The site-owners can add following modifications:
    1. Spoiler-Qute
    2. Delay-Alerts
    3. Short-Response limited to:
      • 1 rating
      • N smileys per line
      • 2 lines of text and links fitting inside them.

    Spoiler-Quote:

    The whole thing can be a spoiler too (thanks to CSS and checkboxes):
    ._________________________.

    Delay-Alerts:

    Users only receive alerts or have the spoiler auto-opening if:
    1. The original author responded
    2. They click the spoiler
    3. The author failed to respond for a reasonable time (24 or 48 hours)
