Title: Merging Posts
Post by: Jack on June 24, 2011, 12:24:59 PM
Well I've seen a lot of double posting even done by myself in the past. I think that when you post and then you post again and forget or just do it for post count It just merges your post and It will make it look like this.

Example, I'm a noob.


I'm double posting.

This will stop loads of spam and people getting in trouble, make it if the person hasn't posted in 3 days It makes a new post so people can see it.

I think this is a very good idea.

Like this http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1523
But that one isn't compatible with 2.0 RC4.

You mean like this...or something like..:

Blablablabla (post #1)

Edit:Blaalalalalalal (post #2

So it puts "Edit" there and it adds the double post to your old message?

Was described in both posts.. ._.

But yeah, kinda. It would add your second post to your first post, using some sort of separator.
It wouldn't use the word "edit" though, as that's not the same thing and would confuse people. =D

^ picture from the example I gave. Probably wouldn't be the exact same thing, but yeah.

Try and find one that will work with 2.0 RC4. If we can get this up and running this will be awesome!

Not necessarily. It's like what Insomnom posted. :)

This is a pretty good suggestion, although some players would take advantage of this, continuous post merging just to keep a topic alive and it might be hard for us to detect that considering there are more than a few pages...

OR how about you guys just don't double post and actually pay attention?

Easy as that.

I don't think post merges bump topics. =P
Could be wrong though.

From my experiences on about 20 other forums they do bump posts. But that's good for people who need to to be shown but only getting one post out of it and the posts merging.
