It's an easy add-on to put on the site. As long as it doesn't conflict with any other mods we have, it should be added here.

yes, it saves a lot of work (for the admins / mods)

Question though how do you define double posting?

Is it someone quoting each reply separately or is different posts with the same member?

That is a slippery slope and letting a program or A.I decide that is a double edge sword.

Anyway I'm guilty sometimes as you can't quote multiple replies after you post a reply.

same user posting twice in the same thread within a set time limit without someone else posting in between

Yes, I reviewed the code for it a while back. It does the merging while the post is still drafting, which means it doesn't have the performance impact of a normal merge.

In our megathreads, a merge causes issues, because it checks every post for references to fix them automatically. With auto-merge, it merges in to the previous, so there's no updating. It's great!

Well after dealing with the off-topic lurker thread I'm all or it now,

As you can't insert multiple quotes after you post a comment with edit post.

Curious on what that time limit is.
Is it greater than 24 hours?

we don;t actually have the plugin that auto does it so its whenever we notice. but generally we gives devs leeway promoting there own game in their own thread as long as it doesn't become spam

Good to see it's working as intended though it does need some tweaking for certain threads were only the thread creator comments.
