A lot of my forum users click the quote button just for reply, and they quote all some posts (sometimes huge).
There's a way or a plugin to prevent full quote?
Not selectively. Computers aren't intelligent enough yet to figure out which portions of the quoted material are relevant to the response.

It's not only a problem here, in forums. Usenet is one huge collection of overquoted posts. "I agree" at the top, then 500 lines of quote. (I'll leave the top-post rant for another time.)

Whoever writes the code that makes a computer able to rip out the irrelevant quoted material will make Carlos Slim look like a pauper. (The same code, with a little modification, could delete all spam, and not delete anything that the user doesn't consider spam.)

Are you talking about nested quotes or large posts?
I refresh my question.
Is there a way to prevent users to do full quotes?
