there are tools usable for occasions where it clutters things up...

Take this for example.
viewtopic.php?f=124&t=160849&start=15

First double post was an hour a part.
Second double post was a few minutes apart, but both are on topic of the thread.

The verbal warning stated "Repeated doubleposting will be handled as spam".
This shows that the context of the thread or posts will not be taken in to consideration, and that purely based on the fact that it is a double post that it will be handled as spam.

This thread is further evidence that bachelors' wives and maidens' children are well taught.

Please don't spam the thread with dribble.

i clearly just pointed out an example of where a member of staff has double posted in 5 minutes where they could easily have edited their last post.

He's the Ombudsman and not a Moderator so I think the point you're trying to make with him being a "member of the staff" is void.

Nowhere in the rules does it say Double Posting is against said rules, unless I am not reading them correctly. As such, I would hope NO ONE EVER gets warned for doing it, since how can they know not to? If a Moderator told me to not doing something that wasn't prohibited in the rules, I would keep doing it...

If an Administrator or someone else is interpreting something it the part of the rules regarding Spam as prohibiting Double Posting then the rules should be amended to more clearly state that.

Nope not void.... Ombudsman is still a member of staff. Hence the reason I said member of staff and not Mod.

Well then it's a pointless reference, because he is a member of the staff who doesn't enforce the rules, so why does it matter?

Clarkey, are you going to use all of this against us (the mods) or was there some other reason for this thread? :-k
