Currently, I'm not restricting depth but I think we should after 4 levels.
Couldn't we restrict it visually, allowing replies that are technically nested, but graphically "flat"? They could feature some sort of backwards-arrow icon with tooltip to inform the reader this happened. This way we'd get the best of both worlds.
Alternatively, we could indent every reply after, say, fourth one, with a progressively smaller "tab", so that the left edges would form a curve.
