    there's a "Funny" rating for a reason.

    multiple unnecessary posts, either edit the OP, or make one post with "Added: x" and edit it.
    it never looks good when your thread is spammed with more than two of your own posts in a row

    same reason as above.

    you could've at least edited the first two to combine them

    Ok, I see what your saying, but still, you gained over 160 messages in less than a week, which is what I consider post farming. Is it ok if I get a mods opinion on this?

    gaining over 160 messages in less than a week legitimately? sure that's post farming. whatever you think.

    edit: and why would you need to ask permission to get a mod's opinion?

    160 messages in a week isn't really post farming. It sometimes just shows you are active on threads and actually engaged in them. What is post farming, is posting another post continuously one after the other, and just commenting "support" or something without a reason. They gave a rating for a reason to prevent this.

    Editing a message doesn't make your thread go to the top of the forums section that you're in, while posting does. I see no issue with what JB has been doing.

    It would only be bad if it were solely for the purpose of increasing his message count. I do not think that this is the case.

    -----
    Really, one could make the argument that you, skizzors, are trying to increase your post count. This issue could have been easily resolved in a PM. Although, whatever is posted in a PM does not add to one's overall messages. You're kind of being a hypocrite right now.

    And can you distinctly prove or disprove that his posting in trading threads was for the purpose of increasing his message count and not for bumping his threads? All that tells me is he's aiming to get 1,000 messages. That tells me nothing about his intentions. You're the one that's jumping to conclusions. :p

    I've no idea, but there is a rule where you cannot double post, let alone triple post.

    he posted two posts relatively close in time to each other, when he could just have edited one of them.

    ^

    Dough - Then a lot of applications, trading threads, discussion threads, etc. would just fall to later pages. :p The rule mainly is for spam prevention, I believe. There are exceptions.

    skizzors - I see; you have a point. Whatever the case, the purpose of this thread has been achieved. You have brought this issue to Jb's attention and he is now conscious of it. I don't see any reason in keeping this thread open (although, for starters, I don't see any reason for this thread to have existed in the first place when it should have been brought to PM).

    He is adding legitimate information to his thread. I don't see a huge issue with this kind of thing on a trade thread unless he does the same on every single thread.
    It is preferable if he is the last poster on the thread to edit rather than post another post.

    Not illegal so who cares. Why waste precious time being concerned with simple things when you could be enjoying another post or playing the servers. Forums are a place to have fun and let go. If he likes posting that way then let him have at it. XD

    Sides talking about this doesn't change anything. There is a report section for this.

    Alright guys.
    Do you really need this open? There is nothing wrong with what he did and there are other ways to solve things apart from these types of calling players out threads. If you want opinions on what is considered post farming, just ask that.

    Yes you can update your thread, just use the edit function when necessary. This issue is solved technically so any other posts won't really impact anything.

    This could have all been dealt with in a private message. There is nothing else that needs to be discussed about this issue, however, if you think there is create a conversation with them instead of making an entire thread about it.

    Closing-
