I voted it should be allowed.

There are too many people who double post as it is, and there is absolutely no way to moderate it (well, there's SMF mods...).
I think it should be allowed because, as stated, so many people double post any way and it's also used as a way to bump a topic, or be used, per se, to add extra information or just make a post more tidy and split it into multiple posts.

There's good and bad reasons. Mainly I think it should be allowed because it's done anyway and it's not moderated.

I think it should be allowed within reason. Pretty much, no more than a double post. No triple, quad, etc.

Thanks to HiddenVenom for the sig!

i think it should be allowed in S&C like you said, but not in the normal posting topics.

Normal posting if bumping a topic is required, and Spam and Chat.

There's no real reason to take it away from S&C because it don't really matter.

Well that makes me the second...


I said no just because if it happens here then noobs (sorry to offend anyone, and you know who you are!!!, JK) tend to forget and do it elsewhere..

Just my 2 Cents.

well tbh the reason i asked is because yesterday i added a mod the automatically merges double posts.
the way i configured the mod and permisions currently is so that you cant make a double post within 5 days but after 5 days it will allow a double post. and now im just wondering if there should be certain areas of the forums that i turn it off in.

as for make posts tidy multi posts can tend to look cluttered if you are wanting to split a topic/post into multiple areas instead of doing it by double posts etc use a few [*HR] tags like


to put a split in the post.
as for the worklogs issue i think if a worklog is all in one post it makes it easyier if it gets popular to read and if needed it can be bumped every 5 days if no one else makes a post or it will be bumped by people asking you questions about it or answering any questions the poster of the worklog may of asked or they may make suggestions.
i will let this run a couple more days and will talk to some admins and get there views

i am not responsible for what i do or my advice
