So the problem is that he can’t post where you want him to so he starts posting other places. [quote]

So the solution is to see that he can post where you want him to. Is it `max consecutive replies` that’s causing the problem?

that he’s hitting because he won’t edit posts and instead just keeps replying to himself? Maybe just change the setting or teach him to edit?
