So I've noticed quite a few members have recently joined, and love to double post, even TRIPPLE post. I've noticed it with a few members that also arn't so new.

I've pointed the edit button out on several occasions to the ones who double post and see that they still do it. Any ideas on how to help 'em figure out that there's an edit button, dark?

Note: It doesn't bother me too much when it's a fodder since they lack an edit button, but there's no excuse for members doing it.

When people make a topic, it should "NO DOUBLE POSTING" at the bottom of the topic post.

:/ I doubt that'd help.


Hmm, maybe a thing that doesn't allow someone to post on a topic when the last post is made by them?

^ Great idea.

Or a filter, the same as the "so they cant post again within 20 secs of posting" idea. It doesnt let them DP within 3 days or something.......

Dude double post or not its ok!

No it isn't.

WHAT is wrong with double posting??
give me ONE good reason.

Bandwidth.

If you say "not good enough" all i have to say is "INSOLENCE!!"

ok. but who here double posts?

Lots of people.

Most n00bs, cheese24/5 [w/e] SD-king and robby sometimes, there are alot more on top of that too!

This... is a good idea! >.>

But what if someone wrote a long text that wouldn't fit on one post and had to be split to two separate posts?

Then we go to another idea...

...Flood Control, it prevents making another post for "X" amount of time after your most recent post. >.>

You REALLY deserve an IP ban, if not worse

You should be banned/suspended... if only for a couple of days.

Not only was that NOT funny... but you posted it in the ONE TOPIC that was complaining about what you did.

And then you went and QUADRUPLE POSTED! Do you think it's funny? Frankly, I don't. T_T

Edit: For the record, I made this post in time to see your multi-posting, bub. >.>

Aaaannd, its sly on dark, wasting his badwidth to spite us, FOR SHAME!!

NO PLEASE IM SORRY!

Did you see this Dark? If you didn't, then read it, take it into deep consideration, AND PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN!!! I GET SO ANNOYED BY DOUBLE POSTERS!!!

The Edit function is there for a reason, you know.

Ok

i only do that if no one answer

If no one answers... they obviously don't feel like answering... and so if it was a post in the topic, it stays as a post... if its a topic, it dies. That's life: forum life to be more precise, young grasshopper.

That doesn't bother me, but it doesn't happen too often.

Well, first of all, I'm not sure that's possible, or if it's easy to do.

People either don't see it or don't care.

Or are lazy and would rather just scroll down and type something else. T_T

T_T yeah...

ANd shrazer, it is possible, its called "flood control"

Ok, let me clear up my opinion here.

I know the cause for people not replying and therefore double posting. Take Shrazer's post for example (Not picking on you, merely because it's write there). I mean, do you really expect replies from posts like "T_T yeah..."? No! That implies absolubetly nothing to keep the topic alive. I'm not surprised that some people have alot of posts for the short time they've been a member - they easily raise it with one word posts. My suggestion is to go along with the maximum characters in a post: a minimum as well.

Yes, flood control is a brilliant idea, but there's one mentioned flaw - long posts that exceed bandwith. We'd best discuss this matter primarily because I have no idea how to solve such a problem.

The edit button should stand out more. It's just too small and I'm not suprised if one non-observent eye hasn't yet spotted it.

BASALT, dark52 is as annoyed by this situation as us.

Now try and beat that!

Is it considered to be Double-Posting if you are just updating a glitch guide, and no one else has posted previously???? If it is, then it could be months before I could finally update because I'd have to wait and wait for someone else to post underneath my comment. And there's also the possibility of no one posting anything on that topic!!!! So that would mean I wouldn't be able to update my glitch guide without being constantly yelled at for Double-Posting.

You can't blame anyone for that. Entirely not their fault. I habe to do it myself with my Boss Guides and Level List.

I agree with you, "Ross". Also, you can only Edit so much information into one post before you can't post anymore. So, you are forced to Double-Post to continue the guide.

You bring up a good point... the bandwith is a bit of a problem. Maybe there's a way around flood control...

GOT IT!

Notice how the Quick Reply is at the bottom of every page. So, in the time it takes the user to finish typing the SECOND WAVE O' TEXT, the flood control should probably have expired! This would obviously mean flood control wouldn't be set to "X" number of days, but rather "X" number of minutes. How's that?

Flood control isn't always a good way to do it.

I don't think I've ever tried to post more or less than I should for the correct response. :/ Honestly, I wouldn't care if my favorite thread (which I don't have) sat dead for a week.

I don't think it's a real bother with that...

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up.

As long as it isn't like, a few minutes or hours after, days seem fine.

I usually post a few days after the previous post on those topics. (Since it normally takes a while to write the information for it, and I have loads of homework to get through before I actually have time to actually work on it.)

Then you probably wouldn't have to worry. >.>

O.K. I was just checking.

I was just re-affirming. >.>

What did he do????????????????????

Who?

X_X Dead topic bump!

im one of the ones who do it, i try not to

when I first got on her I double post a lot but a friend told me about edit so that u can fix what u say

It happens

the only person who warned me was SpyroGamer2008, and we ended up getting in a fight

Wait... what are we talking about again?!

Don't know, HIR. Anyways, to stay on topic, I don't Double-Post at all anymore. (In less you think that my Glitch Guide constant posting is Double Posting, which, as we all know, not something that I try to do. I only do it because I write too much information for the Glitch Guide that when I update it, it says that it can't post because it's 1,000 to 10,000 characters over the post limit. That is the only time I Double-Post: when I run out of room to post on one posting comment. I will never try to purpously Double-Post!!!!) Although when I first entered the site, I sometimes Double-Posted frequently. Then the Edit button information came to me, and I realized what I was doing was wrong, and immediately let up my purpously Double-Posting ways.

WALL O' TEXTS are not considered double posting.
