I absolutely love 4chan with quote inlining switched on. You get all the benefits of a flat conversation (which I think is much easier to follow,) but if you need context on a post, you can expand the replies into something resembling a thread without losing your place on the page. It's a win-win.

It's definitely a shame about the captcha, but like a couple of people have already said, it's necessary.

It's also a slight (human) deterrent.

I've personally found myself deleting some comments not worth being said, usually at the captchas. I can only imagine this goes for others and in other situations.

Here, the quality check is rather the wish to actually contribute.
