What is Double Post?
1.
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.

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" button, 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!

Two posts, in succession, in a forum topic created by the same person that say the exact same thing.

yorkky: I like pie.
This is not a doubble post:

yorkky: I also like cake.

When a post is the same as another post by the same member in the same topic.
