"system just now — Automatically removed quote of whole previous post. "

[Kalviery]

In the past couple days about eight of my posts have automatically been edited to remove the quote of what I was replying to. Is this some intended feature for people who’ve had multiple suspensions or is this system bugging out on me?

So, the forums are getting pretty regular updates that include bug fixes and sometimes new features/settings. This system edit is a new feature that we’re giving a go.

Essentially, if you’re directly replying to someones post then you don’t need to quote their post. It’s a little redundant since the forums now show what post you’re replying to in the UI. If you quote a post in a direct reply, the system will edit the post and remove the quote as a form of tidying up.

It should only be doing this if the quote is in a direct reply and completely intact. If you are quoting someone who wrote something very long and you break up their quote to respond to specific elements of their post, it will leave the split up quotes in place.

I hope that helps clear up what has been going on
