    I was looking through XenForo's resources forum today and I found this. This is a plugin that fixes "Double Postings" and merges them into each other.

    Plugin link:
    [WMTech] Double Post Merge | XenForo community

    What are your guys opinions on this possibly being added?

    However, I recommend not adding this to moderators, sr-moderators and head-moderators as it could mess some things up.

    Ban Logs, Reports, Appeals, etc.

    Neutral. It may be a pain if your first post has reached the character limit.

    Thanks
    This has nothing to do with your first post nor a character limit??

    There will be a time limit for it to combine, and I do not believe if you comment, the post doesn't combine with the main thread.

    @lost 's statement is correct, this would have to be "disabled" for all staff. Furthermore what about my ban log and other ex-staff ban logs? My thread is a string if several hundred consecutive replies and uh I'd rather not lose 500-700 messages (for other's even more). There is also the issue that finding evidence for the ban of a recently resigned/demoted staff member could prove difficult if their ban log thread was combined.
