henrymidfields Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) I just came across this thread which discussed double-posting and to what extent the rules carries, and I have a proposal for the Code of Conduct regarding double-posting. Would it be worth spelling out a time limit (on the Code of Conduct) on what is considered (un)acceptable double posting? This isn't usually a problem in the main FE-related thread sections (or any other threads where people post frequently), but it becomes a problem in a couple of cases when there are very few posters for weeks, or even months in a particular section. (Pokemon, TSMFE etc) Long story short: I was the last person to post on a thread, no one else posts on that thread for several days or even weeks afterwards, yet still remains on the first page of the section I can't make a new post when I now have new stuff to contribute. (This happened once in a Pokemon thread when I wanted to talk about the Pokemon Symphonic Evolution concert several years ago. It did not help when I copped an informal warning in regards to the above.) At least the last time I know (which is admittedly years ago), Bulbagarden explicitly had the one-week rule regarding double-posting; if you were the last person to post on a particular thread, you can also make a new post if a week has passed without anyone posting, in addition to the standard rules. I think it would be appreciated if a similar basic rule is spelled out in the Code of Conduct, as it would remove a lot of ambiguity about what is considered reasonable and legitimate uses of double-posting as opposed to spam, abuse etc. Yours truly, henrymidfields Edited June 4, 2019 by henrymidfields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 read and noted, i've been pondering a bit of a rework to the code of conduct for the past few years and i'll take this into consideration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
