I would prefer if very long quotes were of a maximum visible length, with a scroll bar so that you have to scroll to see the end of the quote. That way large quotes won't have to occupy such an enormous part of the post/page.

Auto-hiding quote after x lines would be nice, same style as with sigs.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^
<-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar -->

 Not necessarilly as someone could just use a quote if they wanted their spoiler to be 'spoiled', so to speak ;)

You don't need to quote someone to write in a quote :)

 

 

I definitely agree though, long quotes can consume a large amount of space, particularly in news articles and 'debate' threads

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

Hey, I have a perfect example where a scrolling spoiler would have saved a bit of time :P 

As you see, I had to use 3 spoilers within a spoiler to prevent the spoiler becoming extremely long :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Oh yes definitely a scrolling spoiler would be awesome :D, I thought you meant a few lines of the spoiler being previewable while it's minimised, like with long signatures.
