Make editing quotes against the rules or remove it if possible

Suggestions Anything Else

So some of you may know that you can “make” people say things they didn’t say through quotes. My suggestion is to make this against the rules or remove it if possible. Mainly because it is unneeded, annoying, and people don’t like words being put into their mouths.

This is a great idea, but I don’t think Hive can do anything about this.

I manage some other Discourse forums—and I haven’t seen a feature where you can turn off false quotes.

It’s a great idea, it just might be impractical to implement.

But it can still be made against the rules like invisible text was.

I would be all for that.

However, I came across this post by the Staff Manager that basically says that they can figure out what you quoted originally, so I don’t know if full on making a huge change to the forums base code is enough for something small like this

Isn’t really a ‘small’ thing now.
When it was a small thing, no one really cared and laughed about it.
But rn it’s been abused and that definitely requires a solution.

(I see where you’re coming from btw)

Is this suggestion just for editing quotes or also quoting exactly what the message says?

he was talking about this ^

he wants quoting to not be editable. idk how that’s gonna work tho.

i agree its a slight issue, but- idk…
