Double Post Suggestion

We all know:

Caution
You already have the latest reply to this thread. Instead of double-posting, please add the message onto your current reply.
Double posting is against the rules and will likely result in a warning.

But you still can doublepost. Wouldn't it be better to lock the reply function if "You already have the latest reply to this thread." Or do it like the TGH forums:

If you doublepost, your reply is automatically "glued" to your latest reply. In this case mods wouldn't have to warn for every doublepost. Because sometimes it can happen accidentally.

So please make something like this, mods!

Re: Double Post Suggestion

There actually are some valid reasons for double posting, such as bumping, adding new content, or creating a second post as an extension to the original post.

This, or if someone deletes a post and it looks like you double post.

Re: Double Post Suggestion

well i like it but i dont. double posting makes things more flexible but also provides more room for error. that makes it so you cant bump with a double post. but how do i bump? i copy post, delete, paste, and put "bump". simple. but when i wanna add content... and it just gets editted on, ouch! and i dont wanna copy, delete, and paste every time.
