How about when someone double posts, merge the second post with their first post automatically. So that double posting won’t be a problem anymore…
(For The Blockheads forum)
Some double posting is completely valid: e.g. when responding to two different users.
But agree, double posts outside of this use case are annoying.
On the Blockheads forum page (forums.theblockheads.net), double posting is not allowed ever — except for circumstances such as the previous post hit the post limit.
Check out this thread to see more details about double posting and how to fix it on the BH forums.
In the blockheads forums, you’re not allowed to double post under 24 hours.
I was referring to double posting in direct succession within the same Topic for which there is a merge feature.
When you say ‘double posting’ be sure to clarify what you mean.
However, I don’t see why posting two separate topics should be a forbidden use case. Your user may genuinely wish to post about two completely different subjects and wish to keep this in separate Topics. Surely you can moderate where user discretion is an issue?
In our case, double posting is when you post in one topic in succession without an hour between posts.
Here are the exact words of our community manager:
DOUBLE or MULTI-POSTING
Posting to a thread more than once in succession within an hour is not permitted. “In succession” means without others posting in between your posts, resulting in more than one post from you in a row, and within a short period of time. This is a common way for people to attempt to boost post counts, and is not permitted in any of the forums that make up this bulletin board, even those where posts are not counted.
If you wish to post in response to more than one quoted post you may do so, but those responses should still be in a single post.
If you wish to post again to a thread that you are the last poster for within an hour of your last post to it then you may use the Edit Post function at the bottom of your last post to add to it.
If you are starting a thread, for which the first post is likely to grow a great deal over time, such as a world thread or an extensive guide or list of guides, then it is permissible to post a second time immediately after the originating post, so you have the space immediately after OP reserved for more content.
Persistent double posting outside of this will attract sanctions, starting with the loss of post count.
自 Discourse 诞生之初，用户就无法对同一主题发布完全相同的回复——这主要是为了防止因意外多次点击提交按钮而产生的错误。我认为这并非本主题的意图，但为求完整起见，我仍在此提及。
我记不清具体是哪个版本了，但我们相对较近地添加了以下站点设置：
连续回复阈值
用户在某个主题中连续发布多少条帖子后，系统会提醒其回复过于频繁。
默认值为 2，但您可以将其设置为 1。这将阻止同一用户在未获得其他用户回复的情况下，在同一主题中连续发布帖子。
澄清一下：在以下情况下，“重复发帖”不仅是可以接受的，而且应当被鼓励：用户针对同一主题下的两个或更多帖子，使用“回复”按钮分别进行两次或多次发帖。这种行为是可取的，因为它便于从主题中分离出偏离主题的帖子，并将其移至其他主题。如果强行限制用户连续发帖不得超过一次，用户就无法将针对不同帖子、不同用户的回复区分开来，这会导致后续将帖子移至其他主题时变得非常混乱，同时也增加了他人识别针对特定帖子的回复的难度。
不过，我直觉认为现有的逻辑已经考虑到了这一点？
几乎肯定应当被限制的是：针对同一主题的重复发帖（即作为对整个主题的回复，而非针对具体帖子的回复）。
