"automerge doubleposts"

[Graf]

Until we can figure out which forums to limit it to or how to modify it to clean up the implementation I've disabled this plugin. (One of the nicer parts of the new code base).

Thank god. This was making me insane.

It's bad for story hours, but its even worse for online games.

You're running a game and try to respond to three or four people in quick posts and it turns into one massive undifferentiated mess.

Which you then need to edit and then people have trouble reading it anyway because they want to see a specific post responding to their question.

If you ever re-install the plug-in it'd be super nice to see it left off for Talking the Talk and Playing the Game.

(New board editor is seriously bad-ass btw. New formaters save so much time.)

So, what's the current list:
- House Rules
- Story Hour
- _maybe_ Off-Topic?

Anyone have something to add or change?

Why not make it WAY LESS than 24 hours? Can that be done?

Make it like 5 or 10 minutes. . . I don't see double posts beyond that time limit really ever being an issue.

The next time I put up something like this:

... that's gonna be one HELL of a first post.

Playing the game.
Talking the talk.
edit: Plots and places too

Those two three are musts.

I'm still not convinced that this is such an awesome function that we need to have it.
Duplicate post stopping is good, but really when is people posting multiple times in one thread such a problem?

There are a few problem posters (or there were) but it's not really a problem now is it?
(And it's a social problem anyway).

Yeah, actually the only place I found it usefull was the Hive and as much as I'd like to tell otherwise, we are a minority in there. It seems like the only thread where on makes multiple posts one after another that could all be in one post.

Thank you.

Regarding limiting this, well, I mostly read and post in General RPG, so obviously I would want the functionality kept away from there.

I do realize that (and the 4E forums) are precisely the ones for which you'd want to enable it though... so again, thanks for having another go at implementing it.

And thanks for making the effort in the first place!
