Double posting is ok, if you are going to bump a topic or gonna answer a question in the same topic with a long reply with proper content. Double posting is not ok if you're only going to post two words or smiles with no intentional purpose. Example is what sir bobcar and I do in T&T Section. We double post if the the 1st post is long enough, because if we combine too long replies the reader may be confused. Of course the reply we give is related to the question regarding the topic. Double post is different from spam, in terms.

^ it's okay if there'll be no double posting rules... mods can do it because we know when it's necessary to do it. but what if other silly members will double post? then we'll do our helper skills (it's really one of our jobs) by merging them and reminding them one by one that etcetera etcetera... i can't help.

I'm sure Mods already know how to deal with those Double Posts which are necessary and non-sense But just like me if I'm confused whether to just leave it or delete it.... I just merge it..

I found a very evil image in Photobucket.. [img]http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa64/Sycoraxic98/btptg7ge4.gif[/img] LOL.

lol. Some members will think that image is harsh. Hehehe.. But its funny though. -- Double posting can be allowed on some circumstances. But posting multiple post consecutively (more than two) is not acceptable. There are many ways to make your previous post be notice. So when are double postings acceptable? 1. It is acceptable when a member bump their own topic (or old topic) to gain attention and be noticed by everyone. In this way people will pay attention and will reply to his/her point. This may be acceptable if and only if his/her point(s) is/are reasonable and has sense in it. 2. Doubled sent of post can be one of the reason why members have double postings. This is acceptable but however, if someone complain and send reports, we are obliged to clean those up. 3. Double posting is acceptable when a member will include in his/her second post (doubled post), that he/she tend to double post to gain attention and be noticed. This is acceptable if and only if the second post is reasonable and has some additional points from his/her previous post. I guess I can only give three examples. Hehehe.. I will think of more later. On the other hand, double posting is not acceptable when... 1. [b]Spamming[/b]. All kinds of spamming that involves double posting are not acceptable. If a moderator come across in a triple posting and/or more than two member's post consecutively, a warning to the member may be given. [u]But[/u] before giving a warning, make sure that they only spammed in one topic. If you see this member has triple posting or more in other topics, the moderator must send a notice that he/she is cursed for a certain period of time. No need for warnings. I am sure that spamming is the only unacceptable when it comes in double postings. This is because there are many kinds of spams (no content post, smiley-only post, image(s)-only post, less than 3 word post, non-english post in non-regional section, non-sense post, flamings, insults, pornographies, and promotions)

Hmmm isn't it enough that we have an edit button? I think Double Posting is a no no. Most of the members just do it to increase their post count.

yeah agree to ate ganda. there is Edit button at the right side of the post. but seems newbie ignore it. ate ice. [i]spamming just to increase the post count? Pathetic.[/i] [i]really pathetic! [/i]
