Warning about getting ninja'd

Basically,say your replying to that "write in real life" forum game (Write things on a piece of paper and take a picture of it)takes quite a bit of time,and bam your done,you press submit and somebody already did that for you.
So lets just have a warning,if you started writing a post,and in the meantime someone else posted.
Something like this

WARNING:While you were writing your post another one was made.You may want to reconsider your post.

Re: Warning about getting ninja'd

I've actually already written a mod to do this. It can't warn you in the middle of typing but if you try to submit it'll warn you.

Is it possible to get new posts updated live?

this would be an interesting update

And yes, I think we all can appreciate the anti-ninja'd-addon-script-mod-thing

The page itself is PHP - so there's nothing there to allow live posts, however it is possible - but is it worth D55's time to set up?

Well with some js sending periodically requests(AJAX calls) to the server, and a simple php page on the server side to return results, it will be easily doable, but it will increase server load because sending requests every X seconds forces the server to do more work. (I already have an idea of how to implement it on both client-side and server-side scripts)

but is it worth D55's time to set up?

I think only D55 knows the answer to this one

Well I wouldn't rule it out eventually but at the moment I've got my hands full with writing the PM system.

how does long-polling (?) compare with server-sent-events in this case? Would the intervals be too spread out?
