Double Post

can either be:

1) when someone posts the exact same thing twice in a row.

2) when someone posts something then, rather than using the “edit” b-tton, posts an elaboration or similar right after the 1st.

3) simply two posts by the same member, regardless of reason, after each other.
1)
person1: i am cool…
person1: i am cool…
person2: aaargh double post!

2)
person1: how good is an 8800?
person1: wait i mean an 8800gtx?
person2: try using ‘edit’ next time.

3)
person1: i am cool…
person1: i like sausages…
person2: idiot!
1. a double post is two posts in a row that can be made into one post, but the person decides to post it in two separate posts. the posts have to have a common element though, if not it is just rambling.

2. double(meaning two) posting is two posts in a row, but this is not what admins and moderators are really referring to when they say “no double posting allowed on forums.”
examples of double posts(2)and one that is not(1):
1a. adam- i really hope school starts back up soon, i really miss everyone.
1b. adam- i just collected three new pokemon cards to add to my deck.

2a. max- i hurt my foot yesterday.
2b. max- i think it might be broken or something.
two posts in a row that may or may not have the same meanings.
complete disregard for the edit b-tton.
bob: i like pizza.
bob: i also like pie.
two posts, in succession, in a forum topic created by the same person that say the exact same thing.
this is a doubble post:

yorkky: i like pie.
yorkky: i like pie.

this is not a doubble post:
yorkky: i like pie.
yorkky: i also like cake.
when a post is the same as another post by the same member in the same topic.
guy1: h-llo, can you fix this error, when i login , it just says error, and it won’t let me login
guy2:please read the news section.
guy1: so can you fix this, because it won’t let me login because of this error.
guy2: please don’t double post.
