I was just on http://forums.halowars.com, and I noticed that the forums did not allow for duplicate posts. So, I was thinking. Wouldn't it be nice to have that here? I've seen double-posts countless times. Many of them by myself! So, would it even be possible? Should it be made this way?

Thoughts? N E one?

I think there should be a double-post blocker. That way there wouldn't be as much spam.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I just saw a double post in one the the Halo Wars threads. Link End of this page.

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

I'd love to see a "double-post blocker." Perhaps if the same member clicks the reply button to a thread they are the most recent poster in, they are routed to a screen that says "Sorry, you are not allowed to post more than once in a row. If you wish to add a comment to the thread, use the edit button."

Now...difficulty to program is a common question once an idea has been met well...

Now, I really like that idea, Mabian. That would be great here, but the difficulty is what's in question.

And of course, after the difficulty, we get the "Achronos is a busy man and will get around to it when he can." response.... ugh.....

Maybe the new guy could do it. The guy who did the Search feature. Who is he? Is he SkipTrace?

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

Nice idea, but what would happen when someone gets blacklisted, and that person and another member have been posting right after each other? Would that person's posts be blocked as well? How would they design the site so that that doesn't happen?

It would not work because sometimes I make really long rebuttals (or topics for that matter) and I need to make two posts for it to fit because of the character limit. I had to make four pages of characters a few times.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Hm...perhaps merge the double post with the original, or the post before it. If it exceeds character limit, allow the text, starting with the closest paragraph to the end, to be split between the original and double post. Just a thought.

That makes sense Darkness. Put all-in at once, then divide on the go. And if it only happens when during the actual posting, you won't have to worry about the blacklisting thing. And editing would only edit the section you click "edit" on.

Okay, but if it just divides the message into several posts, then there really isn't any point to having the character limit in the first place. It would make more sense to just get rid of the character limit and that would fix multiple problems, although it would create a few more small problems.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Kilroy, Achronos is a busy man. He'll get to it when he can.
