Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time
I couldn't have said it better than my friend SJ, +1.

What you describe is called cross-posting and is, generally, frowned heavily upon.
Scenario tiem!
Let's say you want to post a thread. But you want to post it in 2 forums at once at its beginning.
OH NO YOU DON'T
I'd personally lock one of them, leaving the more appropriately-placed one in the more-approprite forum, if I were to spot it as a ninja.
Let's say you posted a thread a few months ago that has since disappeared off the face of the planet and suffered the wrath of the archive system, but you decide you want to talk about it again and post it in a different forum (that still happens to be relevant to it).
k.
I would be very surprised if anyone noticed or cared. Threads have a lifespan of discussional worth to them, and so generally if a thread fails or dies out the first time, it's going to do the same thing the next time. It's actually part of why so many reposts tend to exist, especially in this forum.
Basically: look, Bungie designed the forums so that different topics would be separated by their category. Posting them in multiple forums goes entirely against this design and is entirely redundant. It's not so much that it's horrendously against the rules as much as it is just dumb.
