A big pet peeve of mine on here is when someone quotes a really long OP. Should quotes exceeding a certain text point be minimized until a user clicks some sort of arrow to display the entire text wall?

I don't know much about web dev, so I don't know if this could be limited to just OP quotes, but to some extent, this wouldn't hurt for a lot of post. It's quite annoying having to scroll all the way down a page with HUGE quote volleys with long replies.

This can be solved if users just cut the text out and leave the names. That way, you still know whom you're addressing, while eliminating massive scrolling.

You can always spacebar, too.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000
x0x 0x0 0x0 0xx 000 0x0 000
x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

This would be a good idea. It should only be for continuous quotes though, so it wouldn't be hidden if someone breaks up the OP to respond to different parts.

Yea, so a quote has a separate limit, that is at a reasonably low number.
