Add The Ability of Quoting Specific Parts of Forum Posts
I believe that we should have the ability of quoting specific parts of forum posts. That way, we will not have to quote the whole post and thus, we will not have to spend our valuable time by removing unnecessary words. Here's how it will work:
1) We will have to mark the part of the post with our mouse or finger, depending on what type of device we are using.
2) A button having “Quote” written on it will appear over the marked area.
3) We will have to click that button.
4) The words in the marked area will be inserted in the post.

I'm gonna give this very, very, VERY weak support.
Seriously. Scoping out the other parts of a post and removing them really cannot take that long. Also, aside from the time it would take to implement (certain parts of the forum code would have to be redone in order to support this new feature), I don't think it's really needed because the workaround that everybody uses isn't that difficult.

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

Support if the quoted section automatically shows "~snip~" before and/or after it to show that it is, indeed, a section (you can always remove these if needed, such as when quoting the Official List of Rejected Suggestions).

A true.
Seriously though. If you've at least read over the post you're quoting then you should have an inkling of an idea of where to find the part.
Still no support. I guess this could exist as a low priority task but that's about it.

No support. You can literally just copy-paste the text and put them in quote tags. Also, it's very rare to find a really long post. (I'm talking around 15,000 to more than 20,000 characters.)
I am officially reopening my account. I decided this is the best way to go.

There is one thing that I should say to everyone who said “no support”.
Look at this post.
It is very long, and is quoted a lot. CTRL+C works, but it does not keep the formatting the same (that includes the removal of links). So far, every time I said “please provide a quote from TOLORS when you want to point out that something is rejected”, the user replied “How do I do that?”. The quicker he method I choose, the more complicated it is to explain.
However, even though this suggestion would make this all easier, I'm still satisfied with the existing way of copying specific parts of forum posts.

The message above may contain wrong information, rude remarks, or something embarrassing to my current self. In this case, please ignore it and remember that I likely wrote it back when I didn't know what “respect” truly meant. I really hate thinking about it again.

Not on mobile. Also, multiply 30 by 2, it is 60! Thus, it takes a whole minute to do it only twice. ]
