It's against the rules because it's annoying. A one-sided conversation.

That's not one sided.

It's someone talking to themselves.

Why take up a ton more space when you can just edit?

because people can just keep typing one word on a bunch of posts and become foremen or civil enginers and so on.

Well, you can't become a mod with a high post count.   Otherwise TakoMan02 could swing the banhammer.   But yeah, it unnecessarily increases your post count.

Re: Why can't you double post?

Ok, another Question:
Can We double post if we ask permission?
For Example:

Sorry for double post, but ......

And did someone already Quadruple posted?

Re: Why can't you double post?

I'm more interested as to why two mods posted here and didn't bother to move it...

I just use three dashes to separate my different topics. People recognize them as a separation. Or I could use the hypothetical dash actually meant to separate topics.
?

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

TakoMan doesn't have a banhammer in the first place. I stoled it at night when I snuck in disguised as a pickle jar.

agreed

it also depends on the display options: how many posts you want to see in a page, for example: 45 posts per page, so it just takes up 1 of those 45.

No matter how many posts you have per page, a double post still takes up unnecessary space.

I think some people double post because there is no MUTLI-qoute.
But a double post is unnecessarily, edit your last post instead

Off-Topic: I'm sorry, thats my way to show my facepalm and how I don't want to explain whats wrong.

I'm still surprised no one locked this.

EDIT: nvm, Thought it carefully and there's still no clear answer.

I think you should be allowed to double post occasionally if it is a change of conversation. And aslong as it is not spamming.

Re: Why can't you double post?

What about double posts on the Creation forum ?

I wish to inform about the recent developement of a map, but shall only edit the last line ..which no one will read then ?
Something like

~update~
Changed the starting area and added details to art part. No playable to 40% etc.

Re: Why can't you double post?

beacause, DPing leads to spamming, spamming leads to reporting,
and reporting leads to being ban for however how long.
so dont doo it.

Re: Why can't you double post?

Okay. Let me show you just how much extra space a double post takes up.

FYI, each line of text (including the space between the line and the line above it) takes up 14px.
This post is 5 lines. It is 518px high. The equation below shows how much extra space is taken up for every post.

518 - (14 · 5) = 448.

If your second post in a row was five lines long, it would add another 518px. That's a total of 1036px. On the other hand, if you edit in the extra five lines...

518 + (14 · 5) = 588

The total is 588px. There is a significant difference in size between double posts and edits. Double posts take almost twice the needed space.
