    Actually the last time I tried to post two in a row. (splitting a long article into two posts because of it's size) I was too quick and the flood control got it. I had to wait to post the second one.

      The problem with automating the combination of 5 posts into 1 is that computers don't understand context. For example, H Tower's thread by necessity needs more than 1 post. The 5 posts in the original link is a more likely candidate to be spam.

      The good thing is we have mods who can make this type of decision.

        Besides, if you make those 5 posts into 1 posts, the spamsharks would be upset....

        ACK!
        Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

            Creating large numbers of emergency DL's to flood the Community forum with dozens of "I'd-know--the-answer-to-this-dumbass-question-if-only-I-was-smart-enough-to-look-in-the-FAQ" threads and then all simultaneously responding to them and dragging them wildly off-topic would solve the problem.
            If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

              I think you just called Six Thousand Year Old Man a DL.

                    I thought this would be another slam at my posting methods . I do this a lot sometimes.

                    Because if I just edit my original post no one will see what I put in there. Many people just read a post once and never look at it again.

                        I don't think I can.

                          Hey Dissident, we're all ony human. If you noticed in our Diplo Game forum, I do the same thing (2-3) posts in a row - mainly to focus of different points of the subject...or just to rammble-on to myself and sort ideas out.

                              yeah I know.

                              Like I said I only do it because I have thoughts lader on I want to add on. but Sometimes these thoughts are minutes after the original post. I just want to make sure they are noticed.

                                There is nothing wrong with 2 or even 3 posts in the right circumstances.......that's why it's allowed. Do it without good reason enough times and I'm sure it'll get spotted though.
