I just did a double post. I hate doing those but it can be a real pain to manage forums on a mobile device so I figured "what's the hurt?"
So then I got the nastygram about merging my posts.
Here's the thing: That's an awesome feature. I've never used a forum that does that and it makes things really convenient on mobile devices. It can really suck to wrangle a forum site on a small iPhone.
I think it's good that you let users know when you do that (people can get confused), but I guess what I'm trying to say is maybe it doesn't have to be phrased as "you suck because double post," but more like "hey we did some housekeeping for you, this is what happened." Obviously not that wording but you get what I mean.
After all, it's really more of a feature than a punishment IMO.
