Authors can limit and disable quoting, both globally on the new Posting Defaults page, and individually on specific posts. Also, when quoted, they can easily revoke the use of their post.

Nice.

    Yea, I don't think we'll ever be able to disable that kind of thing.

    But this addresses at least one of the main concerns people had with allowing quote-posting.

    The update is notable because quote posts have historically fuelled negative behaviour on other platforms, where they are often used for public ridicule or so-called “dunking.” (source)
