Should we report our own post?

Its not just lazy always. In my experience its an honest mistake. It goes like this.

1 read thread
2 find a post to reply too
3 continue reading for a page or so
4 reply to another post
5 realize you just double posted (optional)

Oh, an accident is a different thing, I get that we can all do that once in a while. I mean those that intentionally respond to consecutive posts, on the same page, with a different post for each.

I'm confused then. What is it you do with an accidental double after I delete it and replace the entire post with "delete"? Do you completely remove them?

Like @TB said, we delete it from the view of the general GTPopulace. Since there's a set number of posts per page on this software, that's much handier for the flow of the thread.

Incidentally, I had an accidental double post because of my phone internet earlier today. I simply changed the contents to "dp" and reported it and it was gone a few hours later; and I hadn't looked at this thread until just now.

I forgot to mention that I even "reported" my (= 1) post in the Assetto Corsa forum. And it worked exactly as on GTP.
My post got removed.

Strange huh, two different fora and still the same result.

...but people doing it instead of multi-quoting? That's just lazy!

I completely agree with this if you are on a computer with a working keyboard and mouse.

However, if you forget to add a quote when posting on mobile, it is very tough if your phones copy/paste is not very user friendly. Computers are all (for the most part) the same and easy to use.
