Quick Forum Question...

Okay, I just did a huge update on my script. I have received a warning before because I used a separate post to post that I had updated. (this made a double post.) However, that update was much smaller. Could I use a separate post to post about this update or will Hobbit merge it and give me an offence?

post on the same thread, just to be safe...

I just read the warning, and it had nothing to do what so ever with a double post. It was given by the person (not me) because your post was bluntly spam.

Why am I the bad guy :(

If it is a large update and to notify people you updated a script. I will allow it. Otherwise, no.

Cos' you're a well-known moderator/admin. :p Everybody knows Hobbit, the admin, so they assume it's... yeah.

@Hobbit: I'm not talking about the spam offense that I have. I was talking about another time (in my thread about my include URN) when you merged my posts. So, just to clarify, you would let me as long as it was a script that I was updating?

A script and use digression. Don't make like 100 double posts..

If by 100 double posts you mean 200 posts in a row, then my Phailure Calculator would go insane:


program PhailCalculation;

{
Double Post = 2.5 Phails
Triple Post = 5 Phails
Quadruple Post = 7.5 Phails
Quintuple Post = 10 Phails
Sextuple Post = 15 Phails
Septuple Post = 20 Phails
One Hundred Posts = 1000 Phails
}

const
PhailureAmount = 1000;
Username = 'tniffoc';

function FailureCalculator(Phails: extended): extended;
var PhailInt: extended;
begin
if (PhailureAmount = 0) or (PhailureAmount < 2.5) then
begin
WriteLn('Enter an amount stated above.');
TerminateScript;
end;
if PhailureAmount <= 5 then
begin
PhailInt := (((Phails * 75) + 6) * 9) / 9;
Result := Phails * PhailInt;
end else
PhailInt := (((Phails * 25) + 6) * 9) / 9;
Result := Phails * PhailInt;
end;

begin
WriteLn(Username + ' is ' + FloatToStr(Ceil(((FailureCalculator(PhailureAmount ) / 10120)) * 100)) + '% complete phail.');
end.


But yes. Only double post if it is for a script update.

If by 100 double posts I meant 200 posts I would have just Said 200:p I meant don't make constant double posts
