Balfree, please read this

You locked two of my threads, I didn't know you weren't allowed to post same topics on various forums. Sorry. Anyway,

what am I allowed to do?

If I post a thread on, say, Unicorn forums can I post a link to it on another forum? Not everyone who visits the Unicorn forums visits say, the Main Forum and vice versa.

If I had something I wanted to say/show as many people as I could I don't see why I should be restricted to only utilizing one forum.

So, care to clarify for me?

Don't post multiple copies of the same thread.
Most people view through the "New Posts" button at the top of the page. When you do that you can see everything thats been posted since your last visit.

If you want everyone to see your topic, dont make it server specific. But if you want to restrict it to your server population, make it server specific.

Double posting isnt allowed in 99% of the forums i've been to. I'm sure it's common knowledge.

Not everyone who visits the Unicorn forums visits say, the Main Forum and vice versa.

That may be common practice somewhere else, but you'll quickly find out that in ffxionline the users tend to view and reply to topics all across the boards, we dont even use server-specific forums much, that's just the way it has been for a long time.

I'm very sorry but posting your topic in 3 different places is simply not allowed. If it was, you would have countless double topics all through out the forums, if each discussion had a double of itself somewhere else... people would have to go through countless pages to find new relevant posts.

In most fourms, such as Killing Ifrit and Alla, you do have people who spend all their time on server or main, and rarely both. On those fourms the only topics you will ever see get locked are flame wars and redundantly off-topic posts, such as a few posts:

"99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around..." you know how it goes.

And another!:

"pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie pie"(and this one didn't even get locked)

FFXIO, as the mods have said, has a VERY useful "New Posts" function that lets a person see all new posts across all fourms. The only person who will not read these is a person who choses not to, and haveing 3-5 copies of teh same thread in that group will just make people more likely not to read it.
