Forum pet peeve: replicating photos in replys

It would make viewing threads with lots of photo a much better experience if the photos were not automatically added to the quotes. I can't count the number times it happens, sometimes on the very next reply, where a whole group of photos is repeated just because someone wanted to quote the post but was too lazy or clueless to edit the quote to remove the photo tags. I admit It can be useful when someone quotes a post that is on another page, but really, adding the photo tags should be an option, not the default.
Can something be done about this?

It is an option. When I quote one of these threads, I remove either all the images or only the ones I wish to write about.
If others did this the peeve would like it.
How about a second quote control "Quote with photos" and have the first option exclude the photo tags?
You can control the level of the quotes displayed. Edit Profile/Quote Settings and select the depth level you want to fold.
If you quote a reply with photos, the photos are at the same level aren't they?
Here's an example:
And here's me quoting my reply without editing the markdown to remove the photo tag. Imagine if I had posted 10 photos and someone quoted my reply just to say "cool coins!".
I am arguing that this should not be the default behavior for quoting a post.
I see what you mean. You should PM the mod and make the recommendation.
