Duplicate content in ED screenshots and individual module forums?

[Nealius]

I recently posted a Hornet video in both the screenshots/videos thread of the Hornet module forums as well as the general ED screenshots/videos thread. My post in the Hornet forums was removed, cited as being a "Duplicate."

 

I have posted "duplicates" in both module threads and the general ED screenshots thread for years, as have many other users, without issue. I cannot find anything about this in the forum or screenshot threads' rules. In fact, all my other "duplicates," as well as everyone else's "duplicates" remain untouched. My post deletion seems rather arbitrary.

 

Are we not allowed to post the same content in both the general ED screenshots thread and the individual module forum threads?

Hi

 

duplicate threads are discouraged, when seen they can be removed without warning.

 

If it helps I will make sure this is added to the rules so it is clearer.

Understood. I couldn't find any explicit warning about them and so many users have been doing it over the years I thought it was okay.
