Hello to all. This thread is to notify everyone of a new update to the forums. Over time, double posting has become an issue in the forums, due to users either ignoring the forum policy or not being aware of it.

Making consecutive posts within short periods of time is an issue because it constantly creates notifications to everyone following the thread from the same user (which can be bothersome, and can be considered as spamming if several posts are created in a short time from the same user). It can also create an unnecessary amount of replies to the thread if several users make consecutive posts without waiting for others to respond, making the thread too unnecessarily long and viable to be closed.

The new update has put up a notice that prevents users from making consecutive posts within 3 days and recommends editing the post. If your post is the latest one, it is highly recommended that you hover your cursor/mouse over your post, edit it and add to it if you want to further contribute to the discussion.

However, there are cases in which a user wants to update everyone on something (whether it be news, a translation, or something else) by bumping the thread, but cannot wait 3 days to tell everyone if their post is the latest one, and simply editing the post cannot notify everyone. To bypass this, you can do the following:
 * 1) Copy the contents of your latest post
 * 2) Remove that post
 * 3) Reload the page
 * 4) Paste the contents of the removed post in the new comment
 * 5) And add what you originally wanted to say in that comment and post the reply.

However, you may only do this process ONCE. From there, either wait on someone else to reply, or further edit the comment. Abuse of the remove and reload feature will not be tolerated, and will be forbidden in a thread if too many users remove their own posts and make new comments without considering editing their latest post first. Editing the post is still more recommended than removing the post and creating a new comment.

Many thanks for your cooperation.
