Rules should be there to prevent or punish serious offences.

So what if something is a bit harder on a phone, that's your choice to use a phone.

@Jo switch off sigs then.

Double posting, yeah thats fine. Triple, quadruple, more... bit excessive don't you think?

One common faux pas on Internet forums is to post the same message twice. Users sometimes post versions of a message that are only slightly different, especially in forums where they are not allowed to edit their earlier posts. Multiple posting instead of editing prior posts can artificially inflate a user's post count. Multiple posting can be unintentional; a user's browser might display an error message even though the post has been transmitted or a user of a slow forum might become impatient and repeatedly hit the submit button. Multiple posting can also be used as a method of trolling or spreading forum spam. A user may also send the same post to several forums, which is termed crossposting. The term derives from Usenet, where crossposting was an accepted practice but causes problems in web forums, which lack the ability to link such posts so replies in one forum are not visible to people reading the post in other forums. This is often done by people who are too cheap to use proper equipment while browsing the internet.

What if I start doing one sentence per post? It's not against the rules.

If you, or anyone has that great concern over it, then you may pm Zeratul about it.
