Como analisar citações parciais de citações aninhadas?

Had the following situation pop up today:

User A:

And yes… It’s been dark times lately… Cursing is just what helps release the stress

User B:

Post from User A:
And yes… It’s been dark times lately… Cursing is just what helps release the stress

Also, he doesn’t discriminate to one form of communication… Just check his Tweets… He can also write it as he speaks it…

User C (Quotes User A, but via User B’s post):

Post from User B
And yes… It’s been dark times lately… Cursing is just what helps release the stress

So much hatred. Have you thought about going and talking to someone?

User B:

Hey User C! Somehow it looks like I wrote that!

User C:

Post from User B:
Hey User C! Somehow it looks like I wrote that!

I am so lost User B, who did what?

User C wasn’t malicious… They are just a less sophisticated user.

Suggestion here that when a quote only refers to a nested quote, the quoting used should refer to the original quote rather than the nested quote.

This is going to be hard to do, considering we can do this :arrow_down:

Why not teach your users to quote the original post instead of a quote insite another post? They can also quote from multiple posts if they want.

Interesting… I had always assumed the quote was actually validated… Didn’t realize that I could just have a pretend quote free for all…

Makes for a good litmus test… If someone purposely abuses quotes in that way, you know who to ban :wink:

Since the quotes aren’t validated, I see your point…

Thanks for considering :handshake:

We do validate the quotes (kinda), and attach a .quote-modified class to any which have been amended. Let’s see if it figures out the nested quotes:

Hmmm, no it doesn’t. I guess ‘technically’ that content is still part of @ryanerwin’s post. Quite tricky to resolve though. As @zogstrip already said the best way is to try and get your users to quote the original post.

They do quote correctly most of the time. For casual users, nested quotes can be pretty complicated… The “Quote whole post” button is very rarely used for us.

It’s just the real example that came up today, where an innocent but not extremely sophisticated user was just trying to make a quote, and the quote appeared as though it was from a different user…

That’s why I posted it here.

Mods can of course manually edit the post to fix it. And this can’t come up too terribly often. Just a thought to avoid an awkward situation that comes up occasionally :wink:

Here’s the actual post (names removed).
You can see how that being attributed to the opposite party in a debate comes across as pretty strange.

NOTE: feel free to delete the image in this post if it’s over the line for meta TOS… Just thought it best to provide a real example.

@eviltrout se não for extremamente complexo e/ou doloroso de corrigir, não me importaria se alguém pudesse assumir isso. No entanto, se for muito complexo, então abandone-o.

Se bem me lembro, a última vez que investiguei um problema semelhante (JavaScript correspondendo a tags aninhadas em trechos), fiquei preso na necessidade de expressões regulares com look-behind. Por outro lado, não me surpreenderia se alguém mais habilidoso em regex do que eu conseguisse encontrar uma solução aceitável.

Você não precisa de aninhamento, basta procurar o bloco de cabeçalho de citação mais próximo ao mover para cima.

@nbianca viu algo semelhante recentemente, então acho que ela pode ser uma boa candidata para esta.

Isso foi implementado e funciona conforme o esperado agora. Citar uma citação preservará as informações da postagem original. Experimente com uma das citações acima. :blush:

:tada: parece que funciona, pois peguei isso daqui:
