fourms post warning

[Passerby]

im thinking that there should be a warning when you try to post on a topic and and ther poster post while your writeing your response.

iv seen other forums systems do this before and it's a lot better than posting than realizing someone beat you to it and haveing to edit or delete your post.

I don't get it.

You don't have to edit or delete your post. I never have. Hehe

I don't get it.

a lot of the time when i go to post on something some else replies while I'm writing my reply which sometimes make it irrelevant or gives me reason to change it and i think it would be helpfull if it would tell you if someone posted on the same topic as you are typing your post to it.

That would be a nice feature. Some of my posts are a trifle verbose. By the time I've checked my spelling and posted there are two replies before mine. LOL

not really necessary.. but good thought

this will really only affect you if your playing a forum game. it wouldnt really affect you in just regualr threads.

Good idea, I've seen this before..

Are you talking about the warning system where mods warn you whenever you spam/flame(disrespect someone, which you should NOT do anyway) on someone's thread and a moderator warns you for it? Because that's really helpful and can create an incentive for people not to just post for post counts and actually be helpful.

Example:

"Thread xxxxx" - Hi guys I'm new, I need help with something.
Poster 2 - .
Poster 3 - No problem, what do you need help with?

This is where the warning system comes in, 100% means you're unable to post for a day/week/whatever the punishment is.
Each warn is 20%.
Every person gets 5 warnings.

I've seen this kind of system a lot on forums when I was younger.
