Is too much quotes/repeated text hurting seo of forums?

What do you think about it?

I'd have though it would be alright, XF quotes are in blockquote tags and when quoting, you're normally replying and adding you're own original content to follow it up.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I agree.

But it is worth encouraging your users to quote small relevant chunks when this is appropriate rather than entire posts. This is also good for useability and engagement otherwise the relevant bit of the argument they are replying to may be buried in the "click to expand"

And whatever is good for useability is good SEO these days.

So do you think that it's worth to have a "Reply" that doesn't quote automatically?

What really needs to happen is to bring back threaded threads.

Large quotes are annoying. Proper threading virtually gets rid of the need to mass quote.

 

[Mr Lucky]

No, not really.

Without the quote people don't know which post you are replying to.

in threaded threads you know (like in stackexchange)

Threaded threads are not very nice.

And Stack Exchange is horrible (and confusing)

I think the exact opposite.

I'd say quoting helps as mentioned above by @Mr Lucky. But either way works for me as long as we can choose to use quotes or threaded threads.

Care to give even remote specifics ?
