[Forum Bug] Changing Quote Sources On The Forums

Hey guys today I was making a post on one of the feedback topics about the new launcher when I mistakenly found a way to make it look like someone else said something that they didn't..

In the photo It shows me quoting Saint pat and me giving my reply to her, I wanted to add in another quote but i didn't know how so i press quote and drag there quote into my first post's edit box then I pressed the space bar and this happened. It looks like Saint pat wrote both of these posts that I am quote when she only wrote one of them. 

 

I know this is not the worst thing that could be said with this, but I also found out like this I can change what is said in the post and it will look like they said as long as I were to only change bits and parts of it. 

 

I see this could be used to cause people to get lots of warning points for things they didn't say by a troll editing what they say to make it look like they did say this.. 

 

As a side note I left in the first top bit of who's it really from so you can see, someone can easily remove that and it will look like the other person wrote it.

People like to edit the things people say to respond. Often putting their responses next to their poitns.

You can edit it in the BBCode thing as well prim...

No moderator with half a brain would warn someone for someone else quoting their post and editing the quote. Quoting is just a BBCode format and it's there for convenience, not for 100% guaranteed truthful accuracy.
