At the risk of asking a truly stupid question… did I somewhere miss the heads up when the double-post policy took effect? Is this a bug in the forum or do more and more people feel an urge to double-post their exact same questions.
I could understand if users might not be 100% clear if their problem is related to a client or the server and hence post in each respective sub-forum. However it appears most of those double-posts are in the exact same sub-forums…
Or am I only noticing this now and it’s never been different?

@tom80H
Double posts (two identical posts) happen if the forum is slow and the poster doesn’t wait for the forum to catch up / is too impatient.
It is policy to silently remove the accidental double post.
If you are seeing double posts, please let me know which ones and I will address it
