I'd like to propose a new rule

"Members are encouraged to use the quote feature so their posts can be in the context of the previous comment/question. However members must edit the quoted text to remove the unnecessary portions from the previous quote. Images must also be removed from the quote"

How does this sound?

PS: I've set up a poll for 10 days, to solicit inputs on this question. The responses from the poll will be taken into account when the mods decide on finalizing the rule.

Agreed. Trimming quoted text certainly helps the site look better.

OK - as 10 days have passed and everyone is in favor of this proposal, I will go ahead and add it to the rules.

Anyone still continuing to quote lots of irrelevant stuff will be warned once and posts deleted second time onwards.
