Cowtao Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi. I'm here to talk to you about double-posting. So, many of you users want to go out and post. Make all sorts of goofy comments and other sorts of posts. Many users, however, have fallen astray from posting the right way and they'll end up double-posting; even though they mean to relay information or accidentally have sent another post. Well, i'm here today to explain that to detail and hopefully this will help new users and veteran users alike to keeping our forums clean of the double posting scum. >:T To start off, if you want to relay information back to people if things have happened, please edit your post. You can do this by scrolling your cursor/mouse over to the option edit, hidden under your post in the bar alongside other options such as Multiquote / Quote. If you want more attention to your post for updates, it's best to contact a moderator instead of double posting. This reduces our traffic and gives us your undivided attention. (For a visual representation, here's a good one) Second, make each post count guys. You can't simply post a simple hi, or hello, or lol, or whatever you hip kids say these days. That's what the server is for. A bunch of one-liners is a big no no to us. Try to refrain from acting like every action hero in the 80's by making your posts more elaborate or reasonable. It really sucks to have to scroll a little bit further just because some guy posted "LOL" as their post. Don't be that guy. Or gal. ;; Finally, I have noticed a lot of users have double-posted even though they don't mean to double post. Usually around a one minute difference and the post will be duplicated. This usually happens when the forums take too long to load and sometimes you refresh at the wrong time trying to speed things up. If you do this, please look back at your post to see if you have double-posted. This will be helpful to the users navigating the threads and help you avoid a warning point. c: I hope this thread was helpful to you, and I wish you well in fighting the good fight against double posting. >:3 Go out there and be a posting wizard!

Reignited'Light Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't see too many double posts, but it's always nice to be on the lookout for those since most double posts are one worded answers. Nice work ...what does this mean Also, for those who aren't familiar with the site, pictures may help highlight where the Edit button is. I'm already on it http://prntscr.com/71mn7g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Nice and powerful visual demostration by Skitty :] Honestly, the only thing that i still notice a lot is people still trying to do the "mod job" when it comes to double posting. It's not exactly bad, but i believe we should always report the double post and let a mod do the job. The mods have to work more, after all.

Tacos Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Warn Skitty for double post because Arki deleted his Jk, Skitty, ily~ Merged cause I'm obviously best auth Nice and powerful visual demostration by Skitty :] Honestly, the only thing that i still notice a lot is people still trying to do the "mod job" when it comes to double posting.

Deleted User Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Either me or one of you other mod types, lock this thread after a few days so it doesn't get necro'd down the line. And didn't Sonikku try something like this and get bashed way back? Just saying. PS- If you notice you've broken the rules regarding double posting or necro posting and self report, I (and likely most other auth), won't give you a warning. Just try not to make a habit out of it. If you're not sure about something PM one of the auth, or ask us on the server and we'll see if we can give you the green light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtao Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Wasn't aware of the thread tbh. I kinda did this on my own with my own flare to it. If the people see this and take this at me stabbing at your work, I'm not. Jericho feel free to lock. Time to let this solidify. owo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
