Why not just develop or implement a plugin (for lack of a better word) that merges a double post into one post? I've seen this on Xenforo software, so it's not impossible to do.

Like the idea, added it as an option B
I don't know, but, wouldn't this be like disallowing bumping threads again? I actually thought about it yesterday but I found it a bit weird.F1r3tar wrote:

Terrible idea.

Make it merge + bump if the last post is more than a week old?Trosk- wrote:

I'd say only disallow until a day has passed
I don't really agree with this though

Update: It's on its way, though not implemented yet!

Remembered something
In Some sub-forums, most likely the WIP/Pending/Modding Queues subforums, double posting is NOT bad
I regularly say: I'll check the mods later, and make a new post 1 day later fixing the mod
Okay, that can be done via edit, but w/e
However, this feature may NEVER EVER come to Modding Queues
You want to say, that if you close it, you need to wait at least n days before opening it?
Most people only check the most recent queues, so an edit after 2 days means the thread is already on page 2, and no one will see it
When you bump it, and say it's open you can get requests

But it would destroy the chance of making organized thread, or incase reserving a post in modding queue after creation of new queue.

Ok so the main argument right now is the organizations of modding queue, specifically bumping of the thread. IMO, the new website should have specialized integration to handle queues since those are not your standard threads. Unless queues are not the only thing that would significantly suffer from this, I would consider of making a feature request for specialized threads for queues and how the UI for them should look like (visible open queue list somewhere, counter of how many requests completed/open, etc).Redon wrote:
I've never seen people double post so much that it could be considered enough of a problem to add patronizing restrictions that might to do more harm than good. Some things are better off being left to common sense.
Thanks a lot OP.
Option B is my vote.
I don't like the whole "give them an amount of time before they can post again" bullshit because it doesn't prevent double posting, meanwhile option B does.
As seen in the photo, this forum implements option B.

But I would like and I think it's a good idea, to, at least, show a warning message, telling you that you probably should use the Edit button instead of double posting.
I feel like a warning isn't going to stop spammers / trolls.
As I said in your request, there's already something like that in the new CMS. They're not able to comment for a short time. I actually don't know how long but maybe long enough that there's no reason to wait until they can post again. I also think that most users would stop with that when they see this warning.Flannel wrote:

And I said in that request I highly disagree with that method. Option B is far more spam proof. Option B stops it entirely, meanwhile that method stops it EVENTUALLY.
In the new forum design, a user is disallowed double posting for a certain period of time so we can mark this added.
