Double Posting & Double Topics

Hey guys!

Recently there have been a few issues with double posting (aka posting something twice) and posting double topics (aka posting a topic that already exists....by the way, anyone who hasn't heard by now go to freerice.com).

If you accidently post your work twice, let one of the mods know and we will ditch it, or you can go into "edit" and check "delete this post" and delete it yourself if there have been no replies to it. If you post your work in the wrong category, again let one of the mods know and we will move it to the right category--but please do not post it again if you cannot delete the other one on your own. Also, if you have a story that you feel belongs in two categories, like both sci-fi and fantasy or something, please pick one to post it in--please don't post it in both of them.

To avoid posting a topic that already exists, if you think there may already be a topic for your idea then do a search of the database before posting!

The mods are always willing to help, feel free to PM any of us anytime you need help with a post!

Thanks all!

Oh... I feel so bad now. I really didn't realize, my mother showed it to me and I thought it was so cool I should share it. I'm really sorry. You can delete it if you like.

Haha, it's okay, it's just a general statement. Not geared towards anyone inparticular, promise

Phew! *wipes brow*

I was getting worried, I thought I was in trouble.

^_^ Yes! I am more than willing to move things!


(PS: Via, awesome on catching this!)

Okay!
I think I might have done that once when I first joined
I will make sure it never happens again!
Thanks for letting us know.

If you need to check to see if a topic already exists, just use the Search YWS box at the top (on the default template that is). It uses Google, and Google for some reason actually has more pages of YWS indexed than the actual number of pages in existence. So needless to say, it's quite thorough.

Yes...I'm glad someone finally addressed this topic

Okay, which mod deleted my double post?

Probably Big Brother.

And please, do not panic if you do double post, accidentally. We won't eat you. Really. That's SPEW's job, not Big Brother's.
