Who's the worst?
Realising I have a few compulsive quoters on my forum I started searching around here and found many topics about code changes to do various things about the quotes although many topics seemed to be abandoned. I searched for this in the past and I'm sure I stumbled on a topic that had a quick code change to check for member level and only show the icon/link to "reply with quote" to admins and moderators. I cannot seem to find that topic now.
If any of you experienced coders could post that snippit of code here I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks.
EDIT.. Or maybe point out the lines and I could comment them out for a board wide quoting bann for a while. that would work for me
If it would work that way.<

Sorry, couldn't resist. That is one of the most annoying things that people do on a forum, that's for sure.<

Sounds like it just needs an mlev check around the reply with quote code.
Not tested but how about changing the code in topic.asp from (and it might be a little different in my heavily modded forum):

I think this occurs in two places.<

I turned off the quote feature in my forums except for MODs and Admin. See here.<

Personally I find quoting can be very habdy in an unthreaded forum like Snitz, it means you can identify the parts of the topic you are referring to, and can be handy for aggregation. However, if the problem is quotes containing quotes containing quotes, I agree reading it can get ugly. In this case I'd suggest either a quick readability class for your users ('never quote more than one level deep, you idiots')...
Or you could parse out the inner quote when a new one is posted. I'm sure one of our regex bunnies could work out a tech solution to that in something less than two minutes (although stitching it reliably into the code will be longer, maybe)...
Or, the 'reply with quote' functionality could automatically dump any previous quotes when pressed, so only leaving the edit pane with the actual body text the previous message.
Not bad, three solutions in three minutes ;-)<

EDIT.. MarkJH I just took a look at that quote mod. Looks quite nice and only a few minor code changes. I may have to try that out. Thanks.<
