    I propose to the tribunes to push for changing the double posting rule so if the second post was after 48 hours of your last post, it is fine

    I mean if you post something and within 48 hours nobody else posts and you want to post something else it should be allowed> If its within 48 hours than it should be against the rules

    If you post something and no one responds for 48 hours then they aren't interested; you can't double post no matter how interesting you think whatever you have to say is.

    It's very simple to avoid this issue. Just don't click the post button if yours is the most recent one.

    There is no reason to double post... if you are so impatient to post, just edit... it really isn't difficult.

    48 hours is too fucking long. It'd be ridiculous to keep track of all the double posts for extended periods of time. Banning people for double posting is kinda silly, but do we really want the mods spending all their damn time cleaning up double posts? The rules, as they stand on double posting are a it harsh, though. Perhaps we could make double posts worth half a point or something, but we've only had one person be banned for double posting because he was being a stubborn motherfucker.
    That said, if you were banned for something as trivial as double posting, you should be able to run.

    I don't think people should really get banned for double posting unless it's really being a disturbance.

    Sometimes people double post on accident. I used to click the submit button like 5times and there would be 5 posts in a row saying the same thing. Then I realized the reason why and stopped clicking 5 times

    Why would you click it 5 times and not expect it to post more than once?

    Just because it's not redirecting you doesn't mean it isn't posting. Get it through your fucking skulls, people.
