Re: More forum changes!

I don't think it's an issue. Most people that double post either

a) forgot something, and want to add it
-> they are warned about double posting, and are directed to edit their post
b) are making a new topic, and want a second post for more space
-> they are likely to be aware of the rules, and are doing it intentionally

The only concern I can think of is gravedigging - what if someone replies to a post without realising how old it is

Before the changes, people would double post for no reason.

Re: More forum changes!

This is why we need to encourage, and maybe even require, users to tag their posts.

This is really important because the categories are not enough to organize ~500, 000 posts any more, and it makes finding relevant content difficult without required tags.

It is an inconvenience to try to find something because the search cannot be narrowed down any further than sub-forums, and an educated guess of a part of the post verbatim.
