Repeat Post Merges.Follow

So another forum I frequent recently updates their forum software. And one of the features added was if a user posted multiple times in a row (no one posted between them) it would automatically merge the posts



Now, the forum in question does this because "bumping" is against the rules, so instead of a reply it just edits and adds the text to the user's last post.

I just think it's a nice feature.


(The forum uses SMF 2.0)

Mmmm, I'd rather not have that, unless it was an option.(Like if you made 2 posts back to back you could click a "merge posts" button.) I think it would cause more trouble, imo. As an example: There's a thread in my journal where I have 4 separate posts to keep track of stuffs. Gear, merits, crafts, craft items. It would be a real pain in the *** to edit this stuff if it was all merged automatically into one post. I'm sure there are other situations where it would be equally as annoying.
