    Default Does Posting a Reply to Your Own Days-Old Original Post Count as Multiposting?

    This may become moot if someone else comments in the next week or so, but I would quite strongly
    prefer to keep the rules in my main post conceptually segregated from a follow-up post which looks at
    what you might see in practice when you actually apply them. I always thought multi-posting
    applied to clicking 'Reply' multiple times, but I realise that's not the only possible interpretation.

    Thx for letting me know.
    To speed up forum loading, you can turn off Signatures, Avatars and/or Images separately from one another. See 'Visible Post Elements' under 'Thread Display Options' under 'Edit Options' in the User CP (Control Panel). Only works once you're logged in, though.

    We recognise that a strict "never ever double post" rule would stifle discussion. As such, we have some guidelines for when you may consider it. If the last post is at least a day old and you have something new to add, then a new post is allowed if you feel it appropriate. Posting simply to bump the thread is not allowed, regardless of how much time has elapsed. You must have something new to add or discuss.

    Remember that this is a discussion forum, though. If this continues to happen, then the thread becomes quite one-sided and is no longer a discussion.

    And, as another note: Double-posting is fine in your own Homebrew thread.

    It must still be to add new content though, or to announce that you've updated the first post(s). Never ever simply to bump.

    Also, if your homebrew does or might need more characters than can fit in one post, claiming several first posts is allowed.
