The problem are the "slow threads" ... so is there another exception than fan clubs? This is so stupid to answer to three posts in one post :-) How you did it just now is correct. Quote multiple times and put it all into one post. Thank you for doing that. If it's a really slowly moving thread and you don't want to get warned or banned for multiple posting, then post in here, PM a mod, or go to the Ask TL Staff Anything thread and ask us if it's okay to multi-post. We'll take a look at it, and if we think multiple posting should be allowed in that situation, we'll give you the thumbs up. Btw, if you post, then someone posts in between your next post, that is not multiple posting. That's just posting Look, Seeker, I really like you and respect you. But I do not think, I will be using this "answering in one post" much. Because this is a nonsense and I do not like it. But I promise, I will be very careful with any further double postings. Mostly, I will just not do the second post. So: 1. In fast flowing discussions, I do not care, I will just post quickly, in 90% of cases, somebody else writes in between my posts. 2. In sOs fanclub, I will not care if my posts are several days away from each other or describe another topic completely. 3. If I will want to make a double post in a slow moving thread, I will for sure not contact you or the mods and ask for permission, this is just some stupid discussion and I believe, your (and my) time is too valuable to contact you with something so stupid. So in these cases, I will consider whether it is reasonable in that particular situation to make a double post instead of putting it into the old post, and if yes, I will do the double post. In the worst case, I will be banned again for 2 days and that is nothing, I can't live with, just the mods of TL would fall in my eyes one level deeper.
Honestly, you should be fine. Most mods aren't THAT anal about double/multiple posting unless it's a constant and repeated offense. Just have fun with posting on TL and if you do get mod actioned, you can always ask about it in Website Feedback. Mods are there to help you and answer all your questions. We're not here to make your lives miserable (contrary to popular belief).

Trust me, I don't, but I was banned for it and became a 'topic' in this thread, saying I am double / triple / quadruple posting because ... I do not know why ... So as FPL made me to come back to TL, I just wanted to clarify the situation.
BTW:
Cascade, thanks for the post, that is how I feel it as well. The only thing that time - I did not understand the warning from the TL.bot. I thought, it was just some error from the bot, who did not see, I was reacting to completely different posts - I was banned for the posts on the top of the page: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/500618-dh-leipzig-details-announced?page=10 .
Seeker, thanks for the last post, I hope it will be OK in the future :-)

Banning people for making two posts with the same username next to each other isn't strict enough! Even two posts with the same country of residence should be be bannable ...

Hmm, I don't feel you quite hit the mark on the explanation here. Honestly, the reason Mystique gave made more sense to me. I don't feel the key thing that allows multiposting is related to how fast the topic moves. Rather, it is just a matter of clear layout of your contribution. The end goal is readability. If you are sticking to one subject, better to write your sub-points in paragraphs or something, so people can see that it is all from the same person. If you are posting on very different topics inside a thread, it is ok to use separate posts. it should be a choice in the same way you chose to split up paragraphs, punctuate, and so on. In the LR example, I'd say it is ok to use separate posts if you are commenting on why sOs decided to go so heavy DTs in last game, discussing soO's rumoured new build on the upcoming map, and exactly how hungover tasteless is. If there are three separate reply-chains on those subjects, I don't see the reason to cram them all in the same post. But Mystique, if you get a warning for double posting, automated or not, and you go on to triple (or quadruple?) post a few hours later, you are not really in a position to claim ignorance. You got the warning, chose to ignore it, and suffered the consequences. Entirely your fault, motivated ban or not, sorry. I'm lazy and didn't feel like giving a long explanation. Also, who is Mystique? Was just about to ask this too.. From the context he means Diabolique I think. That's what I assumed, but it's really different name to get it mixed up with :s
haha, oops. You are right ofc. Sorry whatsname.

Quote multiple times and put it all into one post. Thank you for doing that. If it's a really slowly moving thread and you don't want to get warned or banned for multiple posting, then post in here, PM a mod, or go to the Ask TL Staff Anything thread and ask us if it's okay to multi-post. We'll take a look at it, and if we think multiple posting should be allowed in that situation, we'll give you the thumbs up. Btw, if you post, then someone posts in between your next post, that is not multiple posting. That's just posting Look, Seeker, I really like you and respect you. But I do not think, I will be using this "answering in one post" much. Because this is a nonsense and I do not like it. But I promise, I will be very careful with any further double postings. Mostly, I will just not do the second post. So: 1. In fast flowing discussions, I do not care, I will just post quickly, in 90% of cases, somebody else writes in between my posts. 2. In sOs fanclub, I will not care if my posts are several days away from each other or describe another topic completely. 3. If I will want to make a double post in a slow moving thread, I will for sure not contact you or the mods and ask for permission, this is just some stupid discussion and I believe, your (and my) time is too valuable to contact you with something so stupid. So in these cases, I will consider whether it is reasonable in that particular situation to make a double post instead of putting it into the old post, and if yes, I will do the double post. In the worst case, I will be banned again for 2 days and that is nothing, I can't live with, just the mods of TL would fall in my eyes one level deeper. Dude. You take your posting way too seriously. Trust me, I don't, but I was banned for it and became a 'topic' in this thread, saying I am double / triple / quadruple posting because ... I do not know why ... So as FPL made me to come back to TL, I just wanted to clarify the situation. BTW: Cascade, thanks for the post, that is how I feel it as well. The only thing that time - I did not understand the warning from the TL.bot. I thought, it was just some error from the bot, who did not see, I was reacting to completely different posts - I was banned for the posts on the top of the page: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/500618-dh-leipzig-details-announced?page=10 .

Thought about it too as it would have worked as well, but god distracted by a phone call... But that would also be twice the graphics editing for CaptainObviousSCII up there and I don't know how well would have he handled that
Anyway, the rules against double posting are pretty silly and probably just a remnant from the days where this place was run by 15yearolds pretending to be the rightful and though guys at least online, when making up rules like that was the pinnacle of their social existence. If you look around, you see more things like that which just don't make much sense now. This whole "let young frats people grow up on an online board" is a pretty interesting social experiment.

I mean tbh the mods are very lenient with double posting so it's not that much of an issue. The only case when double posting is annoying is when (1) the thread is moving slowly BUT not too slow and (2) your two posts are less than ~20 hours apart.
Case study 1 : In a "Other Games" thread (like, I dunno, The Witcher 3 thread), you were the last to post, one month ago. Now, you've seen an article about the new expansion, and want to post it in the The Witcher 3 thread. Here, you clearly won't edit your old post, because it wouldn't bump the thread and people subscribed to it wouldn't see that you added something : it would be useless to edit it. Thus you'll double post.
Case study 2 : In a "General" thread (like, I dunno, the US Politics thread), you were the last to post, answering a quote from the last page, 30 minutes ago. Now, as you're clearly an expert on politics, you want to answer another post made before yours. Here, your last post is only 30 minutes old, and if no one posted in the last 30 minutes the thread is reasonably slow. Thus here it is better to edit your last post to add in the post you wanted to make, as few people subscribed to the thread will have seen your last post in 30 minutes. What you can do too is write your new post, copy it, F5 the thread, and if there's a new post by someone else, post it as a new post.
However triple and more posting should be instawarning the first time and instaban the second time. I don't get why it's not the case.

That was some full romanian there. I was joking it was 2nd degree
LR is when you write in a thread what is happening in a game for people that can't watch it. So they read your report and feal the live of the game. It's a live recap if you want.

I mean tbh the mods are very lenient with double posting so it's not that much of an issue. The only case when double posting is annoying is when (1) the thread is moving slowly BUT not too slow and (2) your two posts are less than ~20 hours apart.
Case study 1 : In a "Other Games" thread (like, I dunno, The Witcher 3 thread), you were the last to post, one month ago. Now, you've seen an article about the new expansion, and want to post it in the The Witcher 3 thread. Here, you clearly won't edit your old post, because it wouldn't bump the thread and people subscribed to it wouldn't see that you added something : it would be useless to edit it. Thus you'll double post.
Case study 2 : In a "General" thread (like, I dunno, the US Politics thread), you were the last to post, answering a quote from the last page, 30 minutes ago. Now, as you're clearly an expert on politics, you want to answer another post made before yours. Here, your last post is only 30 minutes old, and if no one posted in the last 30 minutes the thread is reasonably slow. Thus here it is better to edit your last post to add in the post you wanted to make, as few people subscribed to the thread will have seen your last post in 30 minutes. What you can do too is write your new post, copy it, F5 the thread, and if there's a new post by someone else, post it as a new post.
However triple and more posting should be instawarning the first time and instaban the second time. I don't get why it's not the case.
Sometime you can triple or quadruple post when LRing (game, event etc...) even if it's rare it happens

What you can do too is write your new post, copy it, F5 the thread, and if there's a new post by someone else, post it as a new post.
However triple and more posting should be instawarning the first time and instaban the second time. I don't get why it's not the case. Sometime you can triple or quadruple post when LRing (game, event etc...) even if it's rare it happens
Well LRs are special cases though

Multiple posting in fan clubs is perfectly fine. Mods shouldn't action you for that. Multiple posting in LR threads and threads that have heavy discussions going on is not. It gets spammy and annoying. And if we allow one person to do it then we have to allow everyone to do it. Then chaos breaks out and no one can really understand what anyone is saying. Hmm, I don't feel you quite hit the mark on the explanation here. Honestly, the reason Mystique gave made more sense to me. I don't feel the key thing that allows multiposting is related to how fast the topic moves. Rather, it is just a matter of clear layout of your contribution. The end goal is readability. If you are sticking to one subject, better to write your sub-points in paragraphs or something, so people can see that it is all from the same person. If you are posting on very different topics inside a thread, it is ok to use separate posts. it should be a choice in the same way you chose to split up paragraphs, punctuate, and so on. In the LR example, I'd say it is ok to use separate posts if you are commenting on why sOs decided to go so heavy DTs in last game, discussing soO's rumoured new build on the upcoming map, and exactly how hungover tasteless is. If there are three separate reply-chains on those subjects, I don't see the reason to cram them all in the same post. But Mystique, if you get a warning for double posting, automated or not, and you go on to triple (or quadruple?) post a few hours later, you are not really in a position to claim ignorance. You got the warning, chose to ignore it, and suffered the consequences. Entirely your fault, motivated ban or not, sorry. I'm lazy and didn't feel like giving a long explanation. Also, who is Mystique? Was just about to ask this too.. From the context he means Diabolique I think. That's what I assumed, but it's really different name to get it mixed up with :s haha, oops. You are right ofc. Sorry whatsname. I'll let you off since you're probably in mourning due to your awful cricket team.
I'm Swedish actually, just living in AU, and I sincerely don't care the slightest about cricket. If anything, I'm amazed how anyone can play, let alone watch it, without getting terminally bored. I'm happy if you guys beat up the Aussies though, because that usually means that my co-workers shut up about it.
Thanks though, the gesture is appreciated, even though I know you were trying to rub it in. So I shouldn't be thankful I guess. Or something. Hmm.

I mean tbh the mods are very lenient with double posting so it's not that much of an issue. The only case when double posting is annoying is when (1) the thread is moving slowly BUT not too slow and (2) your two posts are less than ~20 hours apart.
Case study 1 : In a "Other Games" thread (like, I dunno, The Witcher 3 thread), you were the last to post, one month ago. Now, you've seen an article about the new expansion, and want to post it in the The Witcher 3 thread. Here, you clearly won't edit your old post, because it wouldn't bump the thread and people subscribed to it wouldn't see that you added something : it would be useless to edit it. Thus you'll double post.
Case study 2 : In a "General" thread (like, I dunno, the US Politics thread), you were the last to post, answering a quote from the last page, 30 minutes ago. Now, as you're clearly an expert on politics, you want to answer another post made before yours. Here, your last post is only 30 minutes old, and if no one posted in the last 30 minutes the thread is reasonably slow.

Your second example is a great example of how silly the rule is. This is still somewhat okay on a desktop, where selecting and copy pasting is quick and easy. But for ppl posting mainly from mobile phones, it is hard enough to type; let alone copy paste quotes into the correct place for editing a post.
If it's the same topic, following this rule makes some sense, but if you're replying to, for instance, someone talking about Trump's polling in South Carolina, and the water situation in Flint, then having that be in the same, edited, post makes the thread (far) less legible than the occasional double posting.
Luckily, in practice, both posters and mods are fairly sensible when it comes to double posting.
Edit: @diabolic if you really want to doublepost, though, go join a mafia game. And posting this edit as a new post is the kind of double posting that is discouraged. Same topic and low additional information

I dunno, with today's smartphones and their huge ass screens it's fairly easy to copy/paste shit. Not as fast as your good old CtrlC/CtrlV of course, but still.
