So why don't we have basic text formatting, other than >greentexting

So why don't we have basic text formatting, other than
>greentexting
orangetexting<
to augment our posts with?

In the current year

Because it's useless.
It's not a fucking forum
>>
No tangible benefit and lots of shitposting potential.
>>
Bring back reverse headers. Why where they even removed in the first place?
>>
yea we shud tots have markdown support like them hipster qt @ github lolilolilololol

Fuck off.
>>

No need for them and they are useless. It'll also only breed new types of needless shitposting
>>
Because they would be abused to all hell.

Greentexting has already been abused to the point where no one bothers using it for quoting anymore, or even knows it was meant for quoting in the first place.

What are you on about? I've never seen anyone on 4chan use anything else but greentexting for quoting

Does making shit up about what the other person said still count as quoting?
>>
>>338878
>hurr durr
Yes, it does.

Replace:

Caps unchecked

Meme arrows are intended for quotes, not to "augment" your shitposting, you retarded fuck. Kill yourself.
