 If you want to suggest something about forum then provide a link with a required mod, fortunately I found two mods that can solve the problem of double posting.

Auto Merge:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1523 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1523)

Double Post Stopper:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1018 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1018)

 I don't know if they are compatible with 2.0.4 SMF version ( The one cit2.net forum is using )

 I prefer the second one since sometimes double posts are needed, for example in group boards.

I remember suggesting this a while ago, a good thing about the "Auto Merge" mod is that you can set a time limit on when you can actually double post, which is good cause in some cases double posting is actually necessary.

I like the double post auto merge more than the double post stopper.
In some cases with double post, it's just the person not even realizing that there is an edit button.

With that auto merger, it will merge their posts just like he hit edit.

+1 for http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1523 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1523)

It's good but .. Person like me check the AFMD applications daily and we get many applications per day I sometimes have to quote the application and put it on pending deny accepted whatever so I get warning for doing my job ?

Post by: Machete on 28 05, 2013, 01:33:29 pm
 I have installed both of the mods I posted above( on SMF 2.0.4 ), but tested only the "Double post stopper" since the another one, "Auto Merge Double Post" didn't work, I am not sure what's the reason but I assume it was due to version.

Edit: Administrators can double post. The others will get the error message "Sorry, but you are not allowed to double post. Please go back and edit your previous post.".

you cant double post On public boards But you should be able in your Own group board
Difficult  :-\
Both -1/+1
Mabye there is a kind of Script that only allow "Moderators" to double post don't you think?

Post by: Haku on 31 05, 2013, 06:29:20 pm
This can prevent the community member to accidentally double posted. There's alot of people that double posted accidentally and will get warned.

Also, if you have make a post, you must wait until someone else posted then only you can proceed to the new post. This is good in my opinion.

It would help the community.

In my perspective, it's a nice thing but I think as we are looking for a script that satisfies all people I think these are the criteria we're after.

The restriction script must include:

I think something like that would make it exactly perfect and will prevent spam efficiently without annoying anyone.

Nice suggestion as sometimes people accidently double posts and can't even remove their posts so if its possible to atleast Show us a warning note : Are you sure you want to double post?

So that we can see that we are trying to double post.

I agree on this.

Maybe double posting is necessary in some situations, for example, application centers, general chat, and if he really wants his post to be recent, however as Ex_TcR said people might accidentaly double post with no chance of deleting it, for example, when I want to modify my post but I wrongly clicked quote rather than modify, and boom, a double post, Adding what he said will also assure moderators that this double post was intended to be so.

I like this idea, because some times people intentionaly wants to double post, but those who doesn't want should be at least warneds before fail.

What about if some one wants to post a topic then he wants to post the change log?
Or what about if he wanted to post the first training report and then he wanted to post some new update ,he shouldn't edit the first post because the training report will look bad.

Double posting only need restrictions when it´s made by a mistake for example set a cookie for about 30-60 seconds that prevent the user from posting again until the cookie is expired, some people here already mentioned the reasons why someone would double post in some cases and that should also require some modifications to the text itself mabye.

However if both posts ends up in the same topic there is already a delete button and that might be useful in more cases than just double posting. How about a delete button on the first post as well that can remove the entire topic and allow users to clean up their own double posts or other failed posts or topics instead of waiting for a moderator and possibly get warned for it.

About delete button it's only for RCM+ , so in regular topics there is no way to remove double posting and that only happens it a moderator checks the topics and often they dosent.

I know that, that's why I suggesting an improvement for the delete button as well, I mean double posting isn´t the most usual way to do a "failpost" and if there was a delete button for everyone and all of our posts then we could take care of our own fail posts and double posts without waiting for a moderator, just as an example.

Im not gonna say "+1" due to the fact it's noobish and everyone would think Im Post Whoring.
But IMO this is the one of the best suggestion yet. It's for the greater good for the forum to prevent spam and noob replies.

Guys just add it on boards as in game features or counted one.
Each group have the ability to double post as much as he want in his board as sometime group staffs use it to notify their members about something

If this is add it to hole server I ll no if to some part of it I have no problem

Title: Re: Double Posting
Post by: Stryder. on 06 10, 2013, 09:31:18 pm
well, I agreed your idea, but we may make it :

Warining you cant double post, this will result for a forum warining 20% (can be changed just for example)

so if the player posted again, it'll result for  a forum warining level.

regards.

This is a nice idea, this would prevent spammers in some topics.


But what happens with the training reports topic, in FBI for example there are some people that make 1 training and then another one.

second post duty roster
etc etc and only one player who posts it
specially for the groups who don't have sub boards
they need to make first post app center

This can prevent the community players to make double post. I like check some boards, and I had been some players double posting, and in their second post, they says "Fail, remove it"..

and I like this SMF Mod (Auto Merge Double Post) "http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1523"

This could help to those players who accidentally make double post..

What if i'm Posting 2 trainings of FBI ?? or what if I want to do something with 2 posts ?
It won't work probably sometime . Although it's a good way to prevent spammers and double posting so we would remove the double posting rule. But still why don't make this option in special Boards Like (Out of game . In-Game Features , etc ) ?? It will be better .

That is definitely not a problem.

But what if I want to use 2 Posts or something like that don't tell me how .. I'm talking about adding this options To special Boards Like (Out of game . In-Game Features , etc ) Because it have the problem of Double posting . Won't it be better ? or we can add an option tells (Are you sure of posting this post ? ) . So we can resolve this problem .

as Subzero said, if you want to post 2 or more trainings, but you can't if this suggestion is added, you can only make 1 post, and in that post you can put 2 or more trainings, it isn't a problem..

If i'm right, SMF already has a feature like this that could make a user only reply every say 5 minutes. But I will upvote this as it is a perfect suggestion for rule breakers to learn not to be greedy or stupid.

You suggestion is a very useful idea,it will make forum empty from spammers that follow the double posting way to get more posts that's why I'm supporting this idea Up-Voted


I'm agree with your suggestion . it's great solution for prevent spamming
I totally agree with you and this will greatly help the newbie and those who do not know how to navigate on this forum.

From me you have a big +1
This will help people from being warned especially newbies.  I see no negative point in this suggestion therefore im upvoting.


Good Idea HaNi, would be better to avoid double post

Can you IDIOTS get the :o off of this forum
Title: Re: Double Posting
Post by: Mixalis on 10 12, 2013, 12:45:14 pm
Seems good and helpfull idea.Will help everyone on forum of those spammers who don't care about anything at all.At past I saw a lot of people who spammed (example: applications).
Plus this rule will be removed it :

22. Do not double post (2+ of your posts in a row) If you want to quote 2 people you can do that by going down the page to the list of last posts and clicking quote. Or edit your first reply.

Actually I see some newbies that dont know how to use a forum properly doing a 3-4 posts at the same time. When you check some topics that opened by a random guy who create a new group he/she spamming the topic and also some staffs cant see it sometimes. It must be something like this . I am upvoting this.

There is I found a topic that spammed by creator of the group ;

Maybe it can be disabled for staffs ?
Title: Re: Double Posting

And board moderators? I mean for example me i'm FFH board moderator or menber (i'm not obviusly this is just an example) I can't double post in my "own" board?

That stuffs can easily be added the main point is adding a double posting error to members
