Double Posting

[Yonder]

You should check the trading forums, theres hundreds of double postings and their done on purpose.

A12. Do not multiple post - Multiple posting is allowed after the 15 minutes edit time has passed only if you are adding new information.

It is 'watered' enough in my opinion.

Explains the majority of the double posts in the trading section, people are updating their thread.

They could be updating prices, amount of the items they are selling, buying .

You forgot to add bumping.

You say that the rule is in place because of the people that do it on purpose but what about the people that generally don't do it on purpose?

^ that's been explained in peoples posts?
Bumping would be counted as pointless and then they get warned /w.e for bumping their thread with no important information.

If it's an accidental double post, E.g forum lag causes a double post, The moderator of that forum will merge the posts.

The rule that Yonder brought up explains it all in my opinion. Why else would you need to double post unless it was with important information relating to the thread?

Sometimes this happens, however a lot of the time I find it the opposite. Like:

"Thread Starter:

Buying 9 Sea Dragons

-long time-

Thread Starter:

any1 got??????????

-long time-

Thread Starter:

still needing 9 sea drags"

I suppose it is updating that they still need, but in my opinion because they haven't bought any it's classing as a bump.

Ye as i said majority of the posts in specificaly can be under that rule, but instances of "any got!!!111" moderators should be taking action but because the trade setion is so busy i think it gets overlooked a lot.

why's it a bump if they haven't sold any?? what would be the point on sum1 making a new thread if they could just bump it and if they had changed prices they can just say so there, nothing wrong with what.

[Yoshimitsui]

Because some people bump it to attract attention to the thread instead of waiting for someone to reply. This is different to adding information.

:S so, what's so bad with that???? they only wanna sell something, big deal it's hardly infraction worthy unless they double post in it before 15 mins. If someone else was to bump it then it would be different and rule breaking but only if it was like weeks or so old.

[Yoshimitsui]

Because the simple fact being if you let them bump it would be abused. It's not an infractionable offence bumping, however if people constantly do it then they will recieve some form of punishment for it.

Its just bad netiquette tbh
