How about we shouldn't be able to triple post on forums at all?
Q:What is triple posting? A:Triple posting is when you post three posts in a row without someone else's post in between the three.
Q:What is wrong with multiple posts? A:Usually nothing, but posting multiple times in a row is usually caused by spamming, spambots and bumbing, which can make the forum look bad.
Q:Why not say that double posting isn't allowed? A:Because sometimes you want to add something to your post, like when you accidently post something too early.
Q:How about the original post? What if there was not enough room for two posts there? A:Rules should be a bit more free there, like allowing up to five direct posts in a row.
Q:How would this not be allowed? A:If someone is not allowed to make another post, the reply buttons shouldn't be able to be pressed.
Q:What if no one replies? Does that mean I will never be able to reply again? A:After a set period of time after your double post, you should be able to post again.
Q:Does this go over all threads? Or do the triple post check only count for one thread? A:One thread.
Please let me know what you think of it. Please don't post if you have nothing useful to say. Saying support is good, if you don't, please let me know why not. |

| I think flood check is enough. It's really annoying, but usually enough to block out the majority of noticeable spam, especially on a board like this. |

Notice how I said "especially on an active board like this." I didn't mean comments, those were made in succession because of nobody else commenting.
Regardless of spam, ideas are constantly being posted here and spam will quickly be bumped to the bottom.
If he's thinking of implementing it in comments, that's also bad - I type fast and sometimes make comments before others do. Will I have to make two comments then have to wait for someone else to make one just to post a third? |

| My problems with the idea still remain. There has to be a different way to tackle it that won't restrict how many successive comments or posts I can make. |

What if it's an inactive post but I still want to contribute? Will I have to wait for someone to make a comment before I can make a third reply? What if nobody ever does comment?

why would you even need to make 3 seperate comments
just combine it into 1
2 accounts for correcting error
3 is just spamming
if nobody else is commenting then let the thread die because nobody other than you cares lol |

"Q:What if no one replies? Does that mean I will never be able to reply again? A:After a set period of time after your double post, you should be able to post again." (second time I'm saying this, but I'm okay to it), try to read the first post fully next time. No problems at all |
