Annoying system edits

In Is Free-Threading Our Only Option? - #5 by pitrou I got a “system” edit with this explanation: “Automatically removed quote of whole previous post.”

But the problem is that by removing the quote, it is removing context for the reader to know to which post I was replying.

Can we disable this “feature”?

This post is what happens when you click on Reply on the last message instead of Reply at the end of the thread.

the 2 reply buttons:

My interpretation was always that this should be clear enough, but let’s see whether it’s clear what it relies to.


Edit: indeed it’s quite unclear what I replied to.

It’s annoying, but from memory you can edit to undo the ‘system edit’, and that second edit will be respected.
