a) easier to implement
b) no problems with character limit
c) much "cleaner" solution

It's not a problem for me and my boards...Kevin Clark wrote:Why is that a problem?peopleopinion wrote:The main one is to prevent double posting for same user.
Probably because it goes on to 3, 4 or 5 more bumps and before you know it, the member is having a bump fest without letting others respond.Kevin Clark wrote:Why is that a problem?peopleopinion wrote:The main one is to prevent double posting for same user.
As I said in another topic, I don't care if they post 10 times in a row as long as the post/topic is relevant and useful. You can set rules for bumping posts. Even if User-A is a bump-a-holic how does that prevent User-B from posting?Peter77sx wrote:Probably because it goes on to 3, 4 or 5 more bumps and before you know it, the member is having a bump fest without letting others respond.Kevin Clark wrote:Why is that a problem?peopleopinion wrote:The main one is to prevent double posting for same user.

Did you see my previous post [viewtopic.php?f=436&t=2223506&p=13531206#p13531181]?Master_Cylinder wrote:I'll ask again, in a different way...
Why is:
UserA
UserA
UserB
worse than:
UserA
UserB
UserA
?
Why should UserA need to wait for UserB to post before being able to post again?

That doesn't answer *why* it's bad.
There *are* times where multiple posts are better than more confusing merged posts. It's better to just add a quick-mod tool option to merge posts rather than blocking them, even when appropriate.
I also would like to add that the second solution is more compact too.peopleopinion wrote: As well as everyone can see every situation represents 10 posts: the second situation where posts are merged is much more readable and pretty easy to handle. Nevertheless the second one is a better and more elegant and professional solution imho.
So imho if the option to activate the merge post feature is present into the ACP every admin can use or not as needed. If it is not present nobody can use even if needed...
How does compact make it better if it's MORE confusing? Merging 2 posts can make the one post *harder* to read. What if the two posts are both near the character limits of one post? I know you think your ideas are good but...you really need to think most of them through better.peopleopinion wrote:Master_Cylinder wrote:Yes, I replied to it...twice.
