Over the last few months or so there has been notable and numerous instances of double posting...and even triple and quad posting by newer members/regulars. This is discouraged pretty much in a straight-forward fashion in the site-wide rules.

quote Site-Wide Rule #5

Try not to double post! If you post additional identical replies/posts by mistake, please delete the duplicate replies by clicking the del link at the bottom of each. Where you need to add more information on to your original reply, click edit at the bottom of your post and add more to it, instead of clicking Reply and creating two replies.

This is not open for debate. Any comments should be reasonable/helpful.

Current/Future Admin/Mods may alter this Announcement thread at their discrepancy as the times change.

Hey, you double posted!

If for some reason you really need to bump a topic and you already have the last post in it, it is permissible to delete your last post make a new one (effectively bumping your topic without). This is what you should do if you already bumped your topic once and nobody posted to it. There is no need for three posts in the row that say *bump* or c'mon, anybody?

I've only seen double posting done by only a few new members to this forum... All of us regulars use the edit feature and do everything else right. Wouldnt just sending them a PM about it work?

I guess I'm not seeing this as a big major problem like you guy's are... This side of neoseeker gets half its traffic from guests who come here asking questions, and usually dont know how this site works, so they double post not knowing about the edit button. I guess now they'll see this thread and stop, but still...

I do find it ironic that you create a thread about not double posting, but you double posted in it

Actually, the only member I've seen regularly double+ posting is [name removed], aside from a few double posts from other people who dont know better, or who are replying to an old thread..

This was going to be a "closed sticky", but after a bit of fore-thought I felt it may do some good in the future.

Yes, I double posted. Ignore that as this thread may be floated/unfloated as deemed necessary by the current/future moderating staff and double(+) posted in by said moderators.

This thread does not exist to supersede the "report" function, nor to replace the PM system. Having been an active member for almost 2 years, even I've noticed the increase of moderator merged messages.

Adhering to the simple rules beset before us will help everyone have a good time here and hopefully will encourage more posts.

I removed the name of the member from your posts the purpose of the thread isn't to point fingers or to humiliate, it's to let members know about double posting. Sometimes it's acceptable and sometimes it's not.

Now just to clarify what double posting is (this may be something that a new member or a guest doesn't know) it is having two consecutive posts from the same person. Obviously you can post in a topic more than once as long as you aren't posting two times in a row.

HUMP....

























heheh...

this thread is really pointing 95% at me and 5% at othgers... oh well...

Bump the world...

Just thought I'd announce to everyone here that Neoseeker has some new servers afoot.

quote Redemption

We are deploying 2 new webservers as well: Barracuda and Ascension (the latter is not online yet). Our good friends, the very beloved Defiant and Nova servers have been removed from service. Nova will earn its rightful retirement place, and defiant will be repurposed for non webserving tasks. Aeon is also undergoing something and I'm not sure how its role will change. More details will follow later. In total we have added 4 brand new servers and looking to fix or replace 2 older (but still very powerful servers), while taking 2 of the oldest servers out altogether.

wohhhh...

I was just reading that and no wonder they had trouble.

They really could have made it faster on the CPU side by SMP clustering a couple or CPU's.

I only saw the specs for one cluster... and it was two single core CPU's...



A question to redy... Why don't you just SMP cluster a couple of quad core's together add a few gigs of ram, and raid together a few SCSI drives..

I kno wyou have the raid working and stuff.. but you could easily have less servers by simply having each server have more power.'...

Why are we getting a retail pc subform? Most of the topics we have about retail pc's involve people having problems with them, or wanting to buy one.

The user systems forum is nice. I cant think of any names right now, but it needs to sound like the place where you come and post your worklog of your computer, so we dont get random people going there for help.
