Hey pokedragonfire,
dude, that's not necessary. That's patronization. Yes, there
is a good reason for all those posts. Look at the dates- they're all at least one day appart. I am giving updates to the progress of my work, so it would be without point to wait for someone else to post until I get the opportunity to update. And since the topic from the new post to the next is completely different, editing is not an option. The problem with message boards these days are people blindly follow every rule simply because it
exists and/or they are trying to suck up to the admins/mods.* What I am saying here is simply that people enforce the rules blindly- without any pretext to the
reason for the rule. Let's use this little analogy: Hypothetically speaking, some person double posts. Before patronizing that person, consider the following:
1) Is the post spam (having no relevance)
2) Are they posted on the same day?
3) Are their topics similar, as in the prevous post can be edited?
If you answerd
no to the above questions, it is obvious that there is a truely legitimate cause to the double post, in which case the rule is nullified and has no application. Yet the rule is still inforced merely because the rule
exists. This to me is blind following. I'll use the quote of an admin to further my point:

People shouldn't follow rules blindly and patronize others for a reason that has no application.
I'm really
really sorry if I offended anyone, but I
sooooo love these controversial discussions! And no, I'm not flaming you, pokedragonfire. Actually, I'm quite pleased you said that. I wanted to spit that out for a while now :D
And thanks for the compliment!
