Automerged Double Posts

What a spectacularly bad idea in off-topic. Only a control freak would want that turned on there.

Fill your boots and turn it on everywhere. Another nail in the coffin ftw, that's just what the forum needs.

Ok, JP would.

Exactly. There's no need for it. Some people purposely post multiple times ina row anyway, no problem there imo. That's why it's off in that section.

When would anyone ever post the same thing twice?

Hang on I need to check how this thing works.

Ahh, I see. I thought it was much cleverer and it only merged posts that are identical. Because that would be really smart. Because then it'll only pick up on accidental double posts and not multiple posting.

There's already a feature in vbulletin that prevents you from posting the same thing twice, within 5 minutes.;)

Okay, so what's the point of this auto-mergeralizer?

Nice. :) I sometimes double post there just for the effect. I read this forum almost as I would read a novel w/ characters. That make sense? :huh:

Also, Lounge posts really shouldn't count towards the n00b's 20.

To stop n00bs who post 20 posts ina row in one thread 'my 1st post' 'post2' 'this is post 3' etc. to get to 20 posts.

I'd turn it on in the Lounge, I don't think the Lounge posters deserve any more special priviliges.

Turn it on in the lounge if it can be used in a way that will eliminate ugly edit watermarks.

Or if it will piss off the counting retards.

If neither of the above applies, I remain pretty meh about it.
