One rule that sucks

Post by wattaman » Tue Oct 24, 2006 8:09 pm

So it looks like after every post I made I receive the
It is against forum rules to post duplicate topics in the forums. I have deleted your duplicate in the xyz forum.
  :laugh:
This means that if someone else made another similar posts 3 years ago and got no answer I can post again to bring back the topic? This forum doesn't have the option to erase dead topic enabled?
I need to know cause I didn't find my answer in the old topics, and if you keep erasing my new ones this forum is no use for me. Is only consuming my time and I probably have to change it in this case.
Anyway, after you'll delete this too  :P I hope you'll also send me an answer to my questions so I won't spend my time with you.
Thank you!

Thanks for your complaint. First of all, I have moved it to the correct forum.

Our forum is far less than 3 years old, so I don't think you are facing an issue in that regard. You have also posted at least 5 copies of the same message in the space of a few hours.

The rules are here to maintain good order and reduce clutter. Please follow them.

We have no problem with you posting a question. The issue is that you have been a member since today and have already posted the same question multiple times in multiple forums against forum rules which you can find here http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,65.0.html. We welcome your question. Please do not increase the workload of the volunteer moderators and of all of the many helpful members by having us all answer the same thing over and over again. Your cooperation is appreciated and we hope you enjoy the experience with Joomla.

Regards
