Why Was User ID Added to Quote Parameters?

[James]

Example:

[quote="Brogan, post: 268469, member: 521"]What about banning spammers using the Spam Cleaner?

Or banning members outright without using warnings?[/quote]

I believe it's so quotes can be ignored/hidden.

Without the user ID it wouldn't be possible.

Would also be needed to send a user an alert whenever their post was quoted. Not sure if that is a planned feature but could be done via a mod I imagine.
