To feel irritated by posters who start multiple threads on the same subject, or post the same message under multiple topics.......

[Earlybird]

I know sometimes it is unavoidable due to computer glitches, but some people do it on purpose to discuss the same thing over and over again, or with only slight variations.

Why do you do it?? I know, I know.....ignore and/or 'hide threads'.......

[Fimbo]

No, I agree.

[Kaedsmum]

It's probably not worth getting irritated over

[fryalot]

yeah, they're all a bunch of twats.







(unless it's me and I need an urgent answer so I post in three or four different topics to get the most coverage - that way someone is more likely to know the answer... but yes, if it's not me, they're twats and shouldn't be allowed to do it)

[objectivity]

Does it happen that much? I was under impression it was mainly infrequent posters who did it because they weren't aware of the 'active convos' thang. No? So, on that basis, only mildly annoying to me.

People who annoy me are thoselike myselfwho bung everything in Chat

[poppy34]

irritating but I think sometimes the poster is pretty desperate for comment or genuinely not sure where to post

[pointydog]

I've sometimes re-posted on Chat. I'm often too impatient to wait for someone to reply on other topics.

[pointydog]

They are maybe just impatient twats

Seems to be happening more and more frequently - perhaps since we were given the ability to 'customise' what we read here. Perhaps posters want to ensure they're 'seen', so post under multiple topics?

[OurHamsterisevil]

If the poster needs an urgent answer on something then I wouldn't mind but you don't want to see the same post in 3 or 4 topics its just annoying

[lulumama]

only seems to be trolls or new posters who are not sure of the etiquette.

[SaintGeorge]

Old timer and guilty of this on a couple of occasions.

However, in my defense (sort of) I did put in both the title and the OP that I had posted in 2 sections. One was a specific topic (which peeps might have excluded from active convos) and one was Chat, to catch the general population.

Oh and of course, there is the fact that I am an impatient twat.

[lilolilmanchester]

examples???
I've posted on a couple of threads at least this week re wardrobe nightmares - but I only stareted one of them. is it that important, really?

[zippitippitoes]

i have completely forgotten that apparently people hide threads

[2shoes]

i have done it, posted something in sn, then thought oh I wouldn't mide a bigger picture, so poted in chat aswell.
(what are peeps)

[SaintGeorge]

people

[hughjarssss]

I tend to post everything in chat as well

[Earlybird]

No, it's not that important - just irritating...makes me think of children who want attention, or keep asking if they aren't satisfied/don't like the answers they're given.

I suspect some people post multiple threads due to the speed/volume of the board these days. Perhaps it helps their threads be seen?

[ScottishMummy]

cant say i notice.doesn't make more compelling 'tis still dull/puerile thread if posted 6times

ye cannae polish a turd after all and copiously posting duplicate thread's across MN does not ingratiate oneself
