Why no "Quote"?

Why is it that some posts have no option to quote?

Are they being punished or something?

I can't quote your latest post because you quoted someone else.

If Person A quoted your OP then Person B couldn't quote Person A's post.

Yes, so you couldn't quote ErrolTheDragons post

@Littlescottiedog

You can't quote a post with a quote already in it. Is that the reason?
Hm.

So if Person A quotes my top-post, and B quotes A, then I'm not allowed to quote B in a reply?

Odd.

You might want to get a second opinion though 😀

That seems pretty unanimous then 😂😂

You can't quote a post which is itself a quote. Are you referring to some other cases?

It's the posts that already have a quoted post in them, I think.

You can't quote someone who has already quoted someone else. Is that what you mean?

The only time I've seen this is when the post you're trying to quote has a quoted post as part of it. So you can't quote a quote
