I saw someone apologizing for a double post and I'm kind of feeling like why, what's the big deal? Editing posts is such a drag, if you have a second thought someone probably replied already on this fire and forget discussion board. Do you think double posts should be against the rules?

I'd dare you to get a double post in this thread (that isn't like 10 days later, necrobumping is way more lame dude), but maybe that would sink Era's servers. Please post responsibly and only post quality, deserved content.

One time on a forum i had like 10 copies of a post made because of bad internet. It was pretty funny.

I used to apologize for double posts a lot, then I realized the apologizing is more annoying than the double posting

I kind of wish this forum just combined posts made by the same user if they're immediately after one another.

I try to avoid double posting personally but it's not a big deal.

Triple posting though? Quadruple posting?

To me, a double post is posting the same thing twice. As in, doubly posting.

In all other instances, barring obviously egregious behavior, I don't give one single fuck if you post back to back on a topic. Not one shit.

Double posting is illegal and any infractions will be swiftly dealt with.

Thank you for understanding.

I'm from older forums, so I think they should be used sparingly, mostly for jokes.

I try not to double post even if I have more shit to say. I'll just condense it all into one big post that is probably way too difficult for one individual to respond to just their part but so be it.

It's scary to post in this thread. What if the forum glitches and this gets posted twice?

I edit and apologize if it's literally the same post that I accidentally submitted twice because of bad internet or something. But making a new post that's right after my previous, I really don't care about lol.

If you have two separate things to say, then why not
If someone wants to quote just one of your comments, it's easier on that person if they are separate
