Query Re Double Postings

[MacUser]

On my suggestion, Donwebb re-posted a scenario creation question on the SLeague Forum that that no one (certainly not me) on the Civ2-Mac had been able to answer. See the SLeague Thread at http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum18/HTML/001303.html?2#2 Now Donwebb, brought on some condemnation by calling it a "double post" in the beginning, however, it made me question what is the proper etiquette for posts to multiple Forums.

My thought, as I said in the Reply to the above thread, was that resubmitting an unanswered question was not "double posting" per se, as long as the Poster had waited for a reply. This is especially true if the original question is more appropriate to another Forum. So DanQ and MarkG, what are your thoughts? I double checked the FAQ before posting this and did not see a specific ruling.

If you post the same thing in multiple forums at the same time... that is bad

But, if you ask a question, don't get an answer, and then post the same question in another appropriate forum... nothing wrong with that.

I hope you get an answer to your question

Ming, will you reduce post totals from double posts?

[Narck]

I'm sure he has better things to do than to worry about reducing post counts for double posts


Although, he may just give you a vacation if he sees too many accidental double posts
