By default when you click New topic here on Meta, you see

> Before asking, did you search first? Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.

or

```plaintext
> Before asking, did you search first? Press :magnifying_glass_tilted_left: at the upper right to search.

```

in the composer depending on which editor you use.

I recently noticed topics that begin with quotes. Here are a few examples:

- [Alert to Slack when users hit cheers points thresholds](https://meta.discourse.org/t/alert-to-slack-when-users-hit-cheers-points-thresholds/383303?silent=true)
- [How to assess storage size?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-assess-storage-size/376949?silent=true)
- [Ayudame con mi smtp de maileroo](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ayudame-con-mi-smtp-de-maileroo/379384?silent=true)
- [Can someone tell me how these two functions are achieved?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-someone-tell-me-how-these-two-functions-are-achieved/382758?silent=true)
- [网站使用行为埋点插件discourse 有哪些推荐](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse/378241?silent=true)
- [Discourse-fully light/dark下不同的颜色变量如何设置并生效](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-fully-light-dark/380128?silent=true)
- [How can I install Discourse on Windows? Getting restarting (100) error](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-install-discourse-on-windows-getting-restarting-100-error/383610?silent=true)
- [Troubleshooting S3 Uploads: Site hangs after rebuild, JS assets fail to load with net::ERR\_... on both R2 and GCS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshooting-s3-uploads-site-hangs-after-rebuild-js-assets-fail-to-load-with-net-err-on-both-r2-and-gcs/380668?silent=true)
- [How to approve the creation of a user account without them receiving an email?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-approve-the-creation-of-a-user-account-without-them-receiving-an-email/383486?silent=true)
- [When quoting someone, how do I make their text appear in my reply](https://meta.discourse.org/t/when-quoting-someone-how-do-i-make-their-text-appear-in-my-reply/383402?silent=true)

I have the impression that this happens because it is more difficult to notice in rich text mode that after you remove the text, there is still some formatting.  
At least, I haven’t only noticed topics that begin with quotes before the feature was added.

So maybe it makes sense to adjust the template to prevent this.
