It is 'watered' enough in my opinion.

Why don't we have the ability to edit whenever not after 15 minutes and that posting 2 in a row isn't allowed. Most Forums use that.

Because there was a problem with people going back and editing the first post in a thread making it completely different and making all the rest of the mosts in the thread meaningless. It just stuck I suppose :P

Didn't VIPs have that ability, though?

Sometimes you do it by mistake. Yes they should lower down the rule I think. But if people get warned then it might help them not to do it again.

Ok but you can change it that if a person double posts that it puts the second post into the first one underneath the first content of course.

Don't know how its done but it does prevent double posting, e.g.

BUMP/DOUBLE POST [TIMESTAMP POSSIBLY]: HI ASDSA DOUBLE POST.

It's a hack from VB.org, but I don't know how easy it would be to implement... Habbox (at least, from what I remember), don't like to install third-party scripts.

Most hacks are easy to install but habbox doesn't install stuff if it has potential security exploits, so in best interest of habbox :P

To be honest, if you do it on purpose then we know and the majority of times it is. If it's a lag post we can see by obvious signs. So the rules exist becuase people are doing it on purpose.
