Suggestions like these, to eliminate occasional annoyances, would disable normal functions and annoy everyone. Figuratively, it's called swatting a fly with a sledgehammer.
Sometimes, it's important to quote a long post. For example, when a list of fan fictions is posted for voting or discussion, everyone needs to quote it and either delete lines or write comments between the lines. It's better to have the whole list in one quotable post.
Sometimes, it's important to quote an image-heavy post. For example, when we're playing a game of captioning GIFs, it's convenient to have all the GIFs in one quotable post.
I find it convenient when the post that I need to quote is right at the start of a topic.
I understand that you're annoyed by people quoting long/graphic posts unnecessarily. Try talking to your friends about what they do that bothers you, instead of using technology to disable everyone.
