Nikki can you ask David if it is possible to have the Quote button disabled or hidden?
I know the reason we ask people not to use it, I'm not questioning that at all. But posters are being shot down constantly for using a tool that is right there asking to be used. It is commonly used in all other forums. There is a sticky that says don't use it, but most new members haven't seen that.
Instead they post, and then get publicly slapped on the wrist. Just seems a bit daunting to me, I cringe every time I see a post with a quote followed by a mod saying don't do that. Kind of makes people apprehensive which should not be the climate here.
If we don't want an obvious tool used, should it be removed instead?
