Automerging post feature

God I am so stupid.

I think an 'if broke, don't fix it' should apply here. The multiple replies in a row is related to posting style of certain members and not a forum problem at large. I don't think we should change the forum just because of a few members - unless you can set this up so it only applies to the certain members in question

Yeah, GIMH's a fool...

Anyway, amusing as it is to see Richard get huffy and tad defensive at the idea, I'm against it. I found it very frustrating during my one brief dalliance over at Canada (Political Correctness - see what I did there, oh forget it) - which was back at the peak of the server interruptions a year ago, so no one call me traitor.

I think its a case of "if its not broke don't fix it" here. I'd prefer to see the monopolisation of some threads with long strings of uninterrupted posts by one member dealt with by an amendment to forum rules - something about it being poor forum ettiquette to do so - and then moderated by the mods, rather than enforced via software.

Hell, I'm upset at the moment by the new arcade icons under people's avatars, so its possible I'm just change resistant.

I just think it's a shocker. It wouldn't be all that difficult to get around via various techniques, same way the filter isn't, anyway.

Simply strikes me as a very poor idea with little to recommend it and plenty not to, for the reasons given. Nothing huffy, just disdainful.

Do it imo. Don't like editing old posts to add something new but if it did it automatically and noted it as addition rather than an edit it would be a good thing imo

is it restricted to the person who done it only... means i can see only my editing ???

Yeah, you can look back over the different edits that have been made over the post's history.

Also, informing you all that it looks as though the Automerging Post feature won't be utilised.

 

[GIMH]

Is it just your own edits you can see?

I'm prepared to accept a ban for Richard as a compromise?

Yeah, that's a new feature of the vBulletin upgrade we did.

Obviously you don't see eye-to-eye, but you've probably fulfilled your Richard-bashing quota by now. A halt to the snide remarks would be appreciated.

Duly noted.

Was obviously joking, however.
