I'm not clear on what double posting really is.
1 - Is it posting twice in a row in thread? As Shorena already mentioned, I also don't have a problem with that, when it is addressing different points in the same thread, or to break up a long post.
OR
2 - Is it posting the same information (even exact duplicate) in 2 different threads?
1. Posting twice in a row isn't double posting. You can do it as long as both have different points. But replying to posts one by one and if it is small, this maybe considered as boosting post count and will be merged.

Example:
Bob: I like pizza.
Bob: I also like pie
^^^ This will be considered as double-posting and is spam. Second post can be avoided using 'edit' button.
2. Even making exact post in two different threads is not against forum rule if they aren't
- Off topic.
- Low or zero value.
- Referral link spam -- there are exceptions for posting referral links.
* Hope I didn't miss any.Guess I should ask more clearly: if both, either or neither (1 & 2) are allowed?
It depends on the post.
I've seen a user this week, do some back to back posts, that were really odd - just quoting previous posts he'd made in the same thread. That isn't appropriate, right? (necro-posting)
Posting exact posts in all threads are spam. However, making two or three exact posts in relevant threads are okay.
If not, what is the best way to bring it to the attention of a moderator?
Thanks.
