Automerge Double Posts - What's all that about then?

[Admin]

Dan, is this staying or will you be willing to disable it in time as it is annoying.

Why on earth would you want to reply a dozen times on a page, and not just edit your one reply with the content of your dozen posts? You just trying to knock you post count up?

If you reply within 90 minutes, it will kick in. If you have a thread you reply to weekly with an update for example, that wont kick it in.

It's staying.

The forum needs income to run. Like any business.

The subscription is optional. So just don't. Can't be more clear than that matey.

Edit: Okay I've sent these posts to a thread of their own so you can rant between yourselves. 🙂

The automerge is to stop somebody constantly clicking reply to posts before them, and having a whole new post created for each reply. It tidies the forum up. It's nothing to do with advertisements at all. It's a benefit to the forum. Stops cluttered threads.

We have actually had it running on the forum before but we turned it off at some point because it clashed with another customisation.

If you can't give constructive feedback, don't give it at all. I don't mind getting rid of accounts that are causing lots of augmentative posts.

Be friendly or just leave the forum. I've installed a 'Member Self-Delete' system on Tilers and Electricians and encouraged all knobheads to click it as fast as they can. And go play on facebook where it's unmoderated, underinvested, advertisement-heavy, sell your personal data to thousands of advertisers and spammers.

Or shut up and stay here.

Left with you then.
