Help us test the Duplicate Post glitch!
Hello! You may have noticed a recent uptick in thread replies posting multiple times for no reason (officially known as the "Duplicate Post Glitch"). This glitch has been happening for a bit now, and it's usually pretty annoying for all parties involved (especially staff, who have to find and delete all the duplicates). We're looking into fixing it now, but to help us out tremendously in diagnosing the problem, we need some more data on it, as it seems to only affect certain subforums, certain users, and certain times of day. Plus, I'm currently in the process of making an automated script that can detect and automatically delete duplicate posts, but I need a controlled area to test it out.
This is where you all come in. We want you to use this thread to help us diagnose the glitch - all you have to do is post here using the "Post Quick Reply" button (as the quick reply seems to be the main way it happens). If you do get a duplicate post, don't worry about editing/deleting/reporting it - we'll take care of that part for you. You can post about pretty much anything you want (but obviously don't put anything that goes against our general posting rules), just be sure to use the "Post Quick Reply" button when you post. Once we think we've got enough data, we'll delete this thread.
So have fun, and thank you for participating in this enrichment center activity.
