Question regarding double posts

[hellsbells]

I dont know if this is the appropriate section to post this in or not but here goes.

I have noticed one of the members manages to post the same message in different sections (not always in a relevant section) sometimes only mins apart. I hope you dont think this is too picky but if this member actually read the boards they would see if there was already a thread started for a topic in some instances. It is always nice to have someone post info but if there has been a couple of threads started concerning the same thing then it can become confusing.

the best answer to this question,
would be to pm the member and tell him or her about the double posting,where they are,and ask for a explanation,it may be valid
or pm BHK,who can also do the same thing or even merge threads if needed
any member would be grateful of any help from another member on this matter
hope this helps

I've made a couple of double posts, since apparently there have been a couple of same threads in different places (I'm thinking about James Doohan for instance) and I didn't want anyone to miss my posts ;D in the WPC club part. Also, some posts are difficult to put in just one section... Cross references might be preferable, though... (In some cases things might needed to be discussed in the club part, even if it is a topic that would also fit in another part of the message board, don't you think?) And also, there might be different views where some posts should be, but we have to allow for that, I think

Since the message board is so big, it's very easy to miss interesting post, even if I do log in often and always use the top 20 posts...

However, I don't think this is a major problem, better two posts on the same matters than none! And I, would love to see more posts here with longer discussions...

best wishes

Yes, real discussions would be a good way forward. Do you have any suggestions for topics? Maybe I'll start some off.
