Proactive double-post warning

[smileyhead]

This is an idea I stole from the osu! forums.

Posts get auto-merged with an unsightly note if someone double-posts within a short time span – this is by design and I approve of it, though I am sad to see that, with the latest site redesign some time ago, this note has lost its ‘Please don't double post!’ warning, which I would like to see return.

Either way, I think it would be nice if the post text box itself also showed a warning above it, if you started composing another post while still within the merging period:

Please edit your last post instead of posting again.

Furthermore, it could also remind/teach people about the multi-quote feature, as I all too often see repeat double-post offenders quote and reply to posts one by one with auto-merged posts, instead of multi-quoting everything and posting at once.

If multi quoting wasn’t so broken on the mobile version of the site. I’d say this is a good idea

The ads on mobile are so bad some days the site is constantly lagging and jumping around

Even with Adblock (brave)

The posting system has/had so many flaws that sometimes we multi-post without even noticing. Like when you click on the "Post reply" button and looks like nothing happened, so you click again, and again, and again...

It has been solved to some extent.

Temp is gbatemp just because mods don't micromanage every little behavior some normal user may see as inappropriate and that's where GBAtemp gets its charm.
