I would say however that I do not agree with this rule, especially when there is no paid signature involved. Posting multiple times does have clear benefits as it makes it very clear that you are making multiple points in relation to a particular topic. Making one post and then a subsequent post immediately after helps empanthesize the second post and would be beneficial to someone making a series of points concluded by a strong/important point.

Having a few consecutive posts every now and then when you don't have a paid sig isn't a big deal, but PG/GG does it habitually. The issue with this is that it unfairly bumps topics (like bumping a topic more than once per 24 hours) and it spams "watchlist", "show unrelad posts since last visit", etc.

That sounds fair enough, however I would think that someone with a thread on their watchlist would want to be notified when new information is added to a thread, and making a second post would notify such person while an edit will not. Your point about it bumping threads more then once per 24 hours is valid though.

Yes, I have on several occasions posted b2b2b2b... but it never crossed my mind to purposely spam a section, e.g., the Scam section of late, albeit am well aware that that's the end result(s). During my investigations it's not uncommon to come across new info in a short period of time that I deem important for inclusion to a thread that's not necessary related to a previous post posted only minutes earlier.

Now that I've been slapped (thank you, sir, may I have another Grin

), I'll do my best to abide by the rules that's not written anywhere (and if they were, I probably wouldn't have read them).

In closing, blame the mod who banned me last night if you lost any moneys due to me not being able to post to protect you from scammers. Tongue
