This is exhibit A for why you cannot have nice things.
People will inevitably abuse it to spam nonsense.
Stop it.
I shall patch the bug in the next release.

no, Cinder please, Cinder please, we'll be good.
also, changing the way the reply button works wouldn't even remove the ability to make absurd nested quotes, you can still just mash the quote button over and over.
I don't actually see any practical way that having quotable quotes could be a negative.
it also dosn't fix the problem that normal nested quotes already break the reply button's functionality.
this bug actually did that, it was a bug that functioned as a workaround to another bug that _actually_ caused problems.
if you actually want to fix the excessive nested quote problem just put blockquote > blockquote > blockquote { display: none; } in the css for comments. it'll stop things from getting out of hand.
