Wisdom of Out of Forum topic posting
I question the ability to post in a forum without actually going to that forum.
Doesn't that increase the potential for duplicate topics?
Shouldn't there be a small onus on the poster to do at least a first page check before making a new topic?
Maybe the benefits outweigh the risks?
i didn't know that was even possible.
edit: i remember now.It's convenience Vs administration and I think from your side, yes, it is more of a hassle. However if I weight it against the flexibility of the user I actually think it works out in their favor. I also think that a lot of the duplicate threads had to do with the permissions issue we ran into last week. If it keeps up, I'll look into locking things down a bit.
