Hey guys. I wanted to talk about double posting. What is it you may ask? Well it is what its name states. When you post back to back without someone intervening.
It is quite common for newcomers to post twice but to be honest, how could they have known not to? A few months ago when Pokenations was still live, I double posted. I was told not to in one of the following post and in addition the same user was also talking about a different topic which is reasonable. Double post warnings are supposed to be small and not the entirety of a post. Global Mod Sheep won't hesitate to remind you not to double post.
Also, a private message was sent to me from a former Mod and he told me in a friendly manner not to double post and that he had spliced them together, which is an excellent tool and we all can benefit from it. I haven't seen much splicing recently and I truly wonder why. I feel like this is the ideal way to deal with double posting. My question is, why is double posting frowned upon so much? I think the creator of a topic (for example in the team showcase) should be able to double post as they started it. But when the topic is something big and peaks the interest of the majority of the users on Reborn like a thread that announces a new episode, I can understand why double posting is frowned upon there. However when the topic is something smaller like help with a team, why is it not allowed there?
Thank you for attention if you read the whole thing, and have a good day-night- whatever time it is where you are. Yay time zones! n_n
